About a Bird
Echoes of Longing: A Bird's Tale
Lyrics
One day you came
Expressing the arrival of someone significant
Flying over the waves
Describing the arrival with a metaphor of flying over the waves
And you stayed
Highlighting the person's decision to stay
On your island
Referring to the person's chosen place or metaphorical "island"
The years came
Reflecting on the passage of time
And the years went
Emphasizing the transient nature of years
What were you doing
Pondering the person's activities during this time
Oh Nigel
Calling out to the person by name (Nigel)
I'd raise a statue of you
Expressing a desire to honor the person with a statue
But it would look the same
Recognizing the futility as it would resemble existing statues
Like the ones you loved
Comparing the intended statue to those admired by Nigel
The ones you cared for
Acknowledging Nigel's affection for specific individuals
You found a mate
Revealing Nigel's success in finding a life partner
With a heart of stone
Describing the partner's seemingly unyielding nature
I think saw my
Suggesting a moment of self-reflection in Nigel
Reflection in you
Implying a connection or shared qualities with Nigel
There's no clouds on the sky
Portraying a serene and clear state of mind
No doubts in my mind
Expressing certainty and confidence
You fell from
Describing a fall from a great height metaphorically
Way too high
Suggesting a sense of loss or tragedy
I never met you
Admitting a lack of personal acquaintance with Nigel
But I miss you so
Expressing a deep sense of missing Nigel despite not meeting
For we were two
Highlighting a shared essence or connection between two individuals
Sharing one soul
Emphasizing the unity or closeness of the shared essence
