Dark Bird Is Home
Journey of Release: Embracing Change in 'Dark Bird Is Home'
Lyrics
And so there were no higher mountains
Reflection on the absence of insurmountable challenges
It's all in your hand
Emphasizing personal control or responsibility
Valley was the future sea
Looking ahead to a transformed future
And now sail's the plan
Having a plan and direction like a sail on a ship
And in this travel with no journey
A journey without a clear destination
I lose 'til I'm light
Struggling until achieving a state of lightness
Letting go of mind to have
Releasing thoughts to retain possessions or values
What I'm keeping now
Keeping what's important after letting go of the mind
And suddenly the day gets you down
A sudden downturn in the day
But this is not the end, no this is fine
Optimism about challenges, affirming it's not the end
We're still towers in the valley
Remaining resilient like towers in a valley
Still winds down this dream
Persistent pursuit of dreams despite challenges
Still we're in the light of day
Being in the light of day despite haunting past
With our ghosts within
Living with inner struggles or memories
And there are many ways of sorrow
Various ways to experience sorrow
For just stepping out
Overcoming challenges by taking the first step
Everyday a growling storm
Everyday challenges depicted as a growling storm
But they're kind somehow
Finding kindness in challenging situations
I fall in love but keep on falling
Falling in love and continuously falling
I held you for life
Valuing a relationship for a lifetime
But letting go rope in hand
Letting go with a sense of finality
There's just leaving now
Acknowledging the inevitability of departure
And suddenly the day gets you down
Experiencing a challenging moment in the day
But this is not the end, no this is fine
Reaffirming resilience in the face of difficulties
Still we're biking, laugh in memories
Biking through memories with laughter
Still winds down this dream
Pursuing dreams despite challenges
Still we're in the light of day
Being present in the light of day with internal struggles
With our ghosts within
Living with inner conflicts or memories
And when there's no one on the bottom
Being alone at the bottom and acknowledging it
You got there alone
Kicking up dust to explore possibilities
Kicking up some dust to see
Exploring the direction where the wind might lead
Where a wind could blow
Considering different ways to face challenges
And all the ways to ride a lightning
Utilizing various methods to confront difficulties
I've used up a few
Having experienced and overcome challenges
And I just want you to be safe
Expressing concern for the safety of a loved one
As I thunder through
Moving forward with intensity and speed
And suddenly the day gets you down
Experiencing a challenging moment in the day (repeated)
But this is not the end, no this is fine
Affirming resilience and positivity in adversity (repeated)
We're still the towers in the valley
Remaining strong like towers in the valley (repeated)
Still winds down this dream
Pursuing dreams despite challenges (repeated)
Still we're in the light of day
Being present in the light of day with internal struggles (repeated)
With our ghosts within
Living with inner conflicts or memories (repeated)
No this is not the end and no final tears
Assuring that challenges are not the end and tears are not final
That we need to show
No need to display final tears in the face of challenges
I thought that this would last for a million years
Belief that a seemingly everlasting situation is transient
But now I need to go
Acknowledging the need to move on despite expectations
Oh, fuck
An expression of frustration or resignation
