Lotus Intro
Christina Aguilera Lyrics

Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature
The singer is comparing themselves to a bird going through a transformative process, emerging as a new kind of creature.

Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces
They have experienced pain and brokenness and are now coming out of that period.

Emergency, heartbeat increases
They feel like they are in a crisis, and their heart rate is accelerating in response.

Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning
The artist is calling forth a symbol of purity and enlightenment to represent their own rebirth.

This is the beginning
The artist is emphasizing that this process of transformation is just starting.

And now the lotus rises
The singer is acknowledging that they are making progress in their transformation.

We are never dyin'
The singer feels that they will always persist in some form, even after death.

Forever flyin'
They continue to persist and soar through life.

And always survivin'
The artist is emphasizing their ability to keep going through hard times.

To the sky, I rise
The artist is using the metaphor of rising to the sky to represent a sense of transcending their past.

Spread my wings, and fly
They are taking control of their own trajectory and moving forward.

I leave the past behind
They are moving on from previous hardships they have experienced.

And say goodbye to the scared child inside
They are letting go of the fears that have held them back.

I sing for freedom, and for love
The singer is using singing as a symbol of personal liberation and love.

I look at my reflection
They are taking a moment to reflect on their growth.

Embrace the woman I've become
They are taking ownership of the progress they have made.

The unbreakable lotus in me
The artist is identifying with the strength and purity of the lotus.

I now set free
They are embracing their newfound strength and are ready to move forward.
