Blue Bird
Anuna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lake lay blue, below the hill, below the hill
As I looked, there flew across the waters cold and still
A bird whose wings were palest blue
The sky above was blue at last
The sky beneath me blue in blue, was blue in blue
A moment ere the bird had passed
The lake lay blue below the hill
The Blue Bird by Anuna is a hauntingly beautiful song about the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. The opening verses describe the lake and the sky, both a deep and rich blue. As the singer watches, a bird flies across the water, its wings resembling the color of the lake. The imagery paints a vivid picture of the tranquility of nature, with the blue colors of the sky and water combining to create a serene and peaceful ambiance. The bird's flight signifies the beauty of freedom and the singers' wondrous admiration of the natural environment. The blue bird is symbolic of the purity and innocence of that moment in time.
The second verse echoes similar sentiments; the sky is still painted blue as the bird flies away, and the singer feels a sense of trance-like bliss as they watch the bird go. The repetition of blue in this song is intentional and significant, emphasizing the calming and peaceful feeling that the color inspires. The lyrics themselves are simple and straightforward, but the repetition of the lake, the hill, and the blue sky and water creates a repetitive musical motif that pays homage to the cyclic and eternal nature of the natural world.
