Blackbird
Trio Esperança 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 lyrics of Trio Esperança's song "Blackbird" contain beautiful metaphors that can be interpreted in several ways. The blackbird symbolizes freedom and hope, while the "dead of night" represents the darkness and difficulties that people encounter in life. The lines "take these broken wings and learn to fly" emphasize that everyone struggles through life, but we all have the power to learn and grow from those challenges. It's only when we accept our brokenness that we can take control and rise above our struggles.
The second verse continues with the theme of learning and growing. The "sunken eyes" can be symbolic of feeling trapped or hopeless, but the blackbird encourages us to learn to see the light and the possibilities in life. The repetition of "Blackbird fly" further emphasizes the idea of freedom and taking control of one's life. The chorus reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is still light to be found.
