Bluebird
Blanche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good morning darlin, did you have a good nights sleep?
Yes, I slept very deep
Did you have sweet dreams?
That depends what you mean, that bluebird came and whispered in my ear
Did it tell you that I'd die for you my dear?
He perched on my window sill,
he went "dont you wait until that man you love has gone away"
bluebird, what can I do but pray?
I dont care what that birds saying,
There aint no need for praying,
Except to pray that bluebird stays away,
Forever next to you I'll always lay
Goodnight my darlin
Goodnight my honey, close your eyes and go to sleep
Tonight I'll sleep very deep (go!)
The lyrics to Bluebird by Blanche are interesting due to the fact that they can be interpreted in a variety of ways. One possible interpretation is that the song is about a woman who is in love with a man who is unfaithful. In the beginning of the song, she asks him if he had sweet dreams, to which he responds that a bluebird came and whispered in his ear. The woman then asks if the bird told him that he would die for her, and he confirms that it did.
The bluebird can be seen as a metaphor for the man's unfaithfulness, and the woman's reaction is one of confusion and despair. She prays for guidance, but ultimately realizes that there is no need for prayer. She just wants the bluebird (the man) to stay away from her forever. The song ends with the woman saying goodnight to her lover, and she claims that she will sleep very deeply that night.
Another possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the bluebird represents a new beginning or the possibility of change. The woman in the song has had a deep sleep and awakens to a new day filled with hope. The bluebird represents the possibility of something new and exciting, and the woman is asking for guidance on how to handle this new opportunity. She prays for the strength and courage to pursue this new path, but ultimately realizes that she has everything she needs within herself.
Overall, the lyrics to Bluebird by Blanche are open to interpretation, and listeners can draw their own meanings from them.
