The Warblers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
The Warblers' song Blackbird is a beautiful composition that features a bird as an allegory for finding purpose in life. The lyrics talk about a blackbird that sings in the dead of the night, calling on someone to take their broken wings and learn to fly. The broken wings are a metaphor for something that is holding a person back from realizing their true potential, and the bird is urging them to overcome it. The blackbird also asks them to take their sunken eyes and learn to see, which represents gaining new perspective and understanding.
The lyrics suggest that the person has been waiting all their life for this moment to arise, which means they have been waiting for an opportunity to break free from their limitations and soar. Through the metaphor of the blackbird, the song encourages people to face their fears, overcome their obstacles, and find their true purpose in life. The final line of the song repeats the message that the person has been waiting for this moment to arise, emphasizing that they have the potential to achieve anything they set their hearts and minds to.

Why I love this scene:
1. Kurt's voice sounds great.
Kurt's always using the higher pitched side of his voice, and while I appreciate the beauty of that side of him, I prefer this lower key that he uses in both Baby It's Cold Outside with Blaine (Another of my favorite scenes in Glee--no, in any show!), and this beautiful song Blackbird. His voice is soothing and beautiful in this scene.
2. The song is beautiful.
The lyrics in this song are pretty, yes, but the tune and the notes, I think it was written very well.
3. Blaine finally realizes his love for Kurt. (FINNALLLYYYY)
Can we all admit it? Since Kurt met Blaine, like in this song, "you were only waiting for this moment to arrive". I think that lyric is kind of perfect for this, since Blaine was waiting for Kurt his whole life, he says it at some point. Klaine is such a perfect romance, and no matter how many times they fight I will always believe in them as my favorite couple in any show. And the way Blaine realizes is stunning, acted well, and just romantic. .
4. The acting is spot on.
Need I say more? Kurt (Chris Colfer) looks genuinely sad, and Blaine looks like he's truly having an epiphany.
Hello, I'm Lilly Faulkner, and thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

the warblers singing a song mourning a dead bird, the way blaine looks at kurt, then looking away as if realizng he has fallen in love, then looking back at kurt, this might be the most beautiful scene in the entire show.

I just thought about the fact that a Warbler is a bird too

This song isn’t actually about a bird it is actually about a black women fighting a racism scandal but it is just like a well know kinda term like some guys call girls chicks

@Tmara aramT Paul McCartney wrote this song about the struggles of black women during the civil rights movements of thee 60s. Bird is because it was how women were called by the guys in England at that time.
