Bluebird
Perri Christina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba
This little Bluebird came looking for you
I said that I hadn't seen you in quite some time
This little Bluebird, she came looking again
Don't you think it was hard?
I didn't even say that you died
But it wouldn't have been such a lie
'Cause then I started to cry
This little Bluebird sure won't give it a rest
She swears that you may be better than all the rest
I said no oh
You've got it all wrong
If he was something special, I wouldn't have this song
Don't you think it was hard?
I didn't even say that you died
But it wouldn't have been such a lie
'Cause then I started to cry
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart?
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
What if when she comes over I am in your arms?
Taking all I want from you again (Oh)
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba
How the hell does a broken heart
Get back together when it's torn apart
Teach itself to start
Beating again ba ba ba ba
Beating again ba ba ba ba
This little bluebird don't come 'round here anymore
So I went looking for her
And I found
You
The lyrics of Perri Christina's "Bluebird" explore the struggles of moving on from heartbreak. The first verse opens with the singer questioning how a broken heart can be mended and learn to beat again. The use of the bird metaphor throughout the song is symbolic of the hope that one holds onto after a break-up. The bird represents the possibility of finding love again, even when it seems impossible.
The chorus repeats the same question about how a broken heart can be healed while the following verses reveal that the little Bluebird, who symbolises hope, is persistent in hoping that the lover will return. The singer tries to shake off the Bluebird, insisting that the lover was not worth the heartache, but the bird’s confidence in the lover eventually makes the singer feel vulnerable and emotional.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer may have found the lover with someone else. The lyrics end on a note of bittersweet acceptance, revealing that the singer has let go of the past and has found peace without the lover. Overall, Bluebird delivers a powerful message about the struggles of heartbreak, the hope that one holds onto, and the ability to heal even when it seems impossible.
