Black Bird
Anne Ducros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life
You were only waiting for this moment to
arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see all your life
You were only waiting for this moment
to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
The lyrics of Anne Ducros's song "Black Bird" contains metaphors and symbols that represent growth, hope, and freedom. The blackbird, which is a type of bird often associated with mystery and freedom, is used as a metaphor to encourage the listener to grow and to take risks. "Blackbird singing in the dead of night" could be seen as the voice that encourages us to rise above our fears and limitations, to take flight and explore the world. The phrase "Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life" suggests that even if we feel damaged or broken, we can still learn how to navigate the world and achieve our goals. This message is repeated in the line "Take these sunken eyes and learn to see all your life", which suggests that even if we feel hopeless or stuck in a negative cycle, we can learn to see the beauty and potential in life if we keep looking for it.
The repetition of the line "You were only waiting for this moment to arise" suggests that the listener has been waiting for a catalyst, a tipping point that would enable them to rise and take flight. The phrase "Into the light of the dark black night" suggests that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope or a spark of inspiration that can lead to growth and transformation. The phrase "black night" could also be interpreted as a symbolic representation of depression or struggle, suggesting that even in these difficult moments, we can find a way out.
