Birds
Estelares Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you

And show you the way to go

It's over, it's over

Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you

And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over

Overall Meaning

Interpreting the lyrics to Estelares's song "Birds," it seems to be a song about life's impermanence and the inevitability of change. The song opens with the idea that there will always be someone else to take your place. The sun shines down on all of us, and while we may feel special and unique, the truth is that we are all just one of many. The idea of "tomorrow see the things that never come today" hints at the idea that we can never truly hold onto something or someone. Life is constantly moving forward, and things that we expect to happen today may never come to be.

The chorus speaks to the idea of loss and letting go. The singer's departure is inevitable, and even though he may have once been a shadow on the things she knew, his leaving is a feather that falls around her and shows her a way to go. This image of feathers guides her onward and lets her find her own way forward in life.

The final verse returns to the idea of a new day bringing new possibilities. The singer is nestled in her wings, feeling comfortable and warm. But the new sunrise brings a new sun and new possibilities, and the cycle of life and change continues.

Overall, "Birds" seems to be a song about accepting the impermanence of life and learning to let things go. Change is inevitable, but it can also be a source of growth and renewal.

Lover, there will be another one
Dear Beloved, someone else will come into your life

Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
They will stay close to you, giving you comfort and protection

Tomorrow see the things that never come
The future is unpredictable and certain things may never materialize

Today
But for now, let us enjoy this present moment

When you see me
When you witness my departure

Fly away without you
As I leave, I take a part of you with me

Shadow on the things you know
My absence casts a dark veil on what you thought you knew

Feathers fall around you
Symbolic of my presence, my feathers gently descend around you

And show you the way to go
Guiding your steps towards a hopeful future

It's over, it's over
Our time together has come to an end

Nestled in your wings my little one
Embracing me in your loving embrace
