These lyrics in 22's song "A Mutation of Thrushes" depict various collective nouns used to describe groups of animals. The song starts by comparing the unity and harmony observed in nature's creatures, such as a flock of birds or a pod of dolphins. Each line introduces a new collective noun representing different animals, from a bellowing of bullfinches to a mob of kangaroos. The repetition of these phrases emphasizes the diversity and beauty found in the animal kingdom.
The lyrics then shift to a more introspective tone, suggesting a deeper meaning behind the animal references. The phrase "Did You Ever Have a Go?" implies a call to action or personal exploration. It suggests that everyone should take the opportunity to experience life and discover their own unique path. The line "The Ones Who Have Spent Their Time On Earth Have a Different Kind Of Glow" indicates that those who have fully lived their lives possess a special radiance or wisdom.
The lyrics continue to encourage the listener to embrace their own journey and let go of the familiar. It suggests leaving behind one's worlds, symbolizing the limitations and constraints of their current existence. The repetition of "all your worlds, all your pretty little worlds" emphasizes the need to venture into the unknown and break free from comfort zones, suggesting that growth and transformation can only occur by taking risks.
The latter part of the lyrics further emphasize unity and interconnectedness among both animals and humans. Like the animal collective nouns, the phrases used to describe groups of humans, such as a bevy of ladies or a den of thieves, highlight the diverse and complex nature of human society. The lyrics also touch upon the concept of time, suggesting that despite the infinite ways people spend their time on Earth, there are shared experiences and common thoughts that transcend individuality.
The closing lines of the song reinforce the idea of exploring new realms and letting go of preconceived notions. The repetition of "Let Go Of Your Worlds" serves as a reminder to release attachments and embrace the limitless possibilities that lie beyond one's comfort zone. It suggests that by doing so, one can discover aspects of life and themselves that were previously unknown, leading to personal growth and transformation.
