Bluebird
Darol Anger's Republic Of Strings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Pain Of Losing You Well It Made Me An Angry Man
Was There Something Else That I Could Do? Or Was It Over?
Had I The Chance?
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Gentle Voice Is Spring
Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Peal Away The Cages
Come Back, Come Back. I Can Put Away The Rages
Come Back, Come Back. Can We Turn The Next Page Together?
Listen To My Bluebird Laugh She Can Tell You Why
Deep Within Her Heart You See She Knows Only Cryin'
There She Sits Aloft At Perch Strangest Color Blue
Flying Is Forgotten Now Thinks Only Of You
Get Into All Those Blues Must Be A Thousand Years
And Each Is Differently Used You Just Know
You Sit There Mesmerized By The Depth Of Her Eyes
I Can Tell You No Lies
She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul She's Got Soul, She's Got Soul
She's Got Soul
Soon She's Goin' To Fly Away Sadness is Her Own
Give Herself A Bath Of Tears And Go Home
So I Listened Once Again To My Bluebird Sing
Oh Yes And Children How She Made The Mountains Ring
Now When Hearts Be Stilled That Voice Is Spring




Oh My Precious My Soul Says To My Blue Eyed Sparrow
Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home, Fly Back Home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Bluebird" by Darol Anger's Republic Of Strings is a poignant expression of loss, regret, and the longing for redemption. The singer seems to be reflecting on a past relationship in which he has suffered deep emotional pain, leading him to become an "angry man."

The singer pleads with the bird to come back, to help free him from the cages that have trapped him in his own emotions. He recognizes that he needs to put away his rage, to find a way to turn the next page of his life. Ultimately, however, he realizes that he cannot do this alone - he needs someone to share his journey with, to help him navigate the twists and turns of life. The bluebird represents this ally, this companion, who will guide him through the darkness and bring him back into the light.
