Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause my heart's been broken much too long
Gonna chase me a rainbow through a heaven of blue
Cause I'm all through crying over you
There was a time my love was needed my life completed my dreams come true
Then came the time my life was haunted my love unwanted all for you
Gonna find me a bluebird...
Cause I'm all through crying over you
The lyrics of "Bluebird" by Andersons The is a classic tale of heartbreak and overcoming it. The opening line "Gonna find me a bluebird let him sing me a song" sets the tone for the rest of the song as the singer is looking for a way to heal themselves from a broken heart. The metaphor of the bluebird singing a song symbolizes the idea of finding something beautiful to lift one's spirits in tough times.
The second line further cements the theme of heartbreak as the singer admits that they have been hurting for too long. The lines "Gonna chase me a rainbow through a heaven of blue" speaks to the idea of finding hope and optimism in even the darkest of times. By actively chasing a rainbow, which is often seen as a symbol of hope and promise, the singer is determined to find joy again. The final line "Cause I'm all through crying over you" signifies that the singer is ready to let go of the pain of the past and embrace a brighter future.
The second verse highlights the contrasting emotions of love and despair. The lyrics "There was a time my love was needed my life completed my dreams come true / Then came the time my life was haunted my love unwanted all for you" shows that the singer's relationship began happily, but took a dark turn when their love was no longer reciprocated. Despite this, the singer remains determined to move on and find happiness, as demonstrated in the chorus.
