Songbird
The Fieros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It took out my imagination
Just to make a bit of observation
And if I'm not you and you're not me
Who the hell we're supposed to be?

Now get on!

It took out my aggravation
Just to find a bit of explanation
And if I'm not getting true to you
What the hell we're supposed to do?

Well get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird

It took out my imagination
Just to make a bit of observation
And if I'm not you and you're not me
Who the hell we're supposed to be?

Now get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird

Well oh yeah
Well come on yeah
Oh oh

Well get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird

Well get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird
Get on, get on the songbird





Well get on...

Overall Meaning

The Fieros's song "Songbird" is a reflection on the need for clarity and communication in relationships. The lyrics convey frustration with the difficulty of understanding oneself and others in a world where individual perspectives and experiences can be wildly different. The repeated refrain of "Get on, get on the songbird" seems to encourage action and forward momentum, urging both the singer and the listener to embrace vulnerability and take risks in order to connect with others.


The use of the songbird as a metaphor is interesting as it conveys the idea that communication, like a bird's song, is beautiful and should be celebrated, but that it also requires effort and skill to produce. The line "It took out my aggravation just to find a bit of explanation" suggests that the desire for understanding and communication can be fraught with difficulty and can lead to frustration, but that putting forth the effort is ultimately worthwhile. The song is both a call to action and a celebration of the human desire for connection and understanding.

It took out my imagination
My creativity was exhausted


Just to make a bit of observation
To simply notice a small detail


And if I'm not you and you're not me
We are different people


Who the hell we're supposed to be?
What is the purpose of our existence?


Now get on!
Take action!


It took out my aggravation
My frustration was relieved


Just to find a bit of explanation
To understand something better


And if I'm not getting true to you
If I'm not communicating effectively with you


What the hell we're supposed to do?
How can we resolve this?


Well get on, get on the songbird
Take action and move forward


Well oh yeah
Expressing excitement


Well come on yeah
Encouraging action
