Blackbird
Benassi Bros. ft. Paul French Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
standin' by, behind a breeze of boasting
Big blue blind black bird
standing by, under the sun
you're roasting
Big blue blind black bird
standing by,
beyond the bathroom window
Big blue blind black bird
standing by,
you hide behind the rainbow
spread your wings and fly
don't you bother me
fly away from me. "
(Grazie a fabbio per questo testo)
The lyrics of Benassi Bros. ft. Paul French's "Blackbird" are metaphorical and open to interpretation. The song begins by describing a "big blue blind black bird" standing behind a breeze of boasting, which could imply that the bird is present but uninvolved or powerless in the situation. The following lines suggest that the bird is in a difficult or uncomfortable position, standing under the sun and roasting. The bird is also described as standing beyond a bathroom window and hiding behind a rainbow, which suggests a sense of isolation or detachment from the world.
The chorus of the song, "Spread your wings and fly, don't you bother me, fly away from me," could be interpreted as a call to action for the bird to break free from its current situation and follow its own path. The use of the phrase "don't you bother me" could imply that the bird's presence or situation is causing frustration or annoyance to the singer, and they want it to leave. However, the ultimate message of the song is one of liberation and independence, encouraging the bird to embrace its freedom and soar.
