Bluebird
Stéphane Pompougnac Lyrics

When I walked up all you caught was the shade of my hat on my face
I arrived unnoticed, and try to hide my pain.

My ways are in pain, from the strain of my ways
My actions have caused me suffering.

Chains engraved in my physical days, in physical waves
My life is a series of struggles that wear me down.

I get physical strength from my individual ways
My coping mechanism gives me strength.

Meanwhile I'm not fulfilled, this feeling shall not be stilled
Despite my strength, I'm still unsatisfied.

Rewind time and rewrite lines for the kinds of you to feel
I wish I could change the past and help others understand.

Docile if you so will, fragile and you go downhill
Being submissive and fragile can lead to downfall.

Drinking wine, forgetting time, now time to be refilled
Drinking wine helps me forget, but I still need to replenish.

They say if you snooze you loose
They say you miss out if you relax.

Well I spend my days, dazed and confused
But I waste my days being confused.

Is it cause I blaze all day and fade, then that's old news
Maybe my tendency to smoke and fade is just my old pattern.

If it's new to you, this is Yarah rapping the blues
This is Yarah singing about sadness, even if it's not new to you.

Don't get used to it, running mascara I refuse
Don't get too comfortable watching me cry.

Closed doors prevent outsiders from viewing
I keep my struggles hidden from others.

But struggling alone makes it tough for pursuing
But that makes it even harder for me to achieve my goals.

Dreams, but it seems all I get are sleepless nights
I have dreams, but they leave me restless.

Nightmares about losing loved ones and losing fights
My nightmares are about losing those close to me and always being defeated.

The bluebird flew over the fields of sorrow
The bluebird symbolizes hope despite sadness.

As I left the scene and the dream watching the souls wallow
I walk away from the scene and the dream of happiness.

Left you for more, left the room hollow
I left seeking more, leaving behind emptiness.

Many will fall, a lot more will follow
There will be many failures, and more to come.

You take drugs to psyche your mind
You take drugs to cope with your thoughts.

You take wine, to forget about time
You drink to forget about time, about how fleeting it is.

You create a world of your own
You make up a fantasy world.

Where the truth, will never be known
Where reality and truth never enter.

I work when the work seems like play
I work when it doesn't feel like work.

And hate to play when the work seems to work my way, I say
But hate when relaxation leads to more work.

I work my way through everyday that I play my way
I slog through every day, doing things my way.

Now..Hear what I say, hear what I say
Listen closely to my words.

Makes it all seem hopeless like impending cancellations
My situation feels like all hope is lost and failure is certain.

The locks will open someday continued determination
But I keep going, because I believe I can break through eventually.

Restless infection destroys spiritual vaccinations
Anxiety can destroy one's spiritual well-being.

And I will head for my destination
But I still aim to reach my goals.

I stand alone at the crossroads of death inhale the breath
I face my mortality alone, taking a deep breath.

Of lost souls that left in and out of consciousness
Thinking of those who have already left this world and their state of limbo.

Drinking wine reminds me of what honest is
Wine makes me remember what truth really is.

Making me wonder where the hell the logic is?
Which begs the question: Where has the logic gone?

We're all lost, we're all tossed, at a lost cause
We're all suffering, struggling, and aimless.

Fight between ourselves, relieve ourselves, and then we all fall
We fight with ourselves, but give in and ultimately fail.

Through the wall, through it all, who we are?
Through everything, who are we?

No denying that at 5 foot I still stand tall
Despite all these things, I am still standing.

Many will fall
Many will fail.

A lot more will follow
And many more will follow suit.
