Blue Bird
Tyler Nugent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the rain comes pouring in
Yeah that little blue bird won't help you no more
When he sings his songs will you stop or will you carry on
Cause all the leaves on the trees won't live there too long
Don't hold me down let my bluebird fly away
If I hold you in my arms will you stay here one more day
Stay one more day don't you say don't you say you're cold tonight
No don't you say don't you say our love won't last the year oh
I think I made it very clear
Cause if you're coming I'm going
Don't you take my heart
Cause when you leave me tonight I'll be so torn apart
It's when the bluebird sings his last song
Would you stay oh just stay another day
When the world ends now and you're fear comes running in
Will you think of me when you're holding someone
When the air runs low
Would you take my last breath home oh yeah
Don't hold me down
Yeah let my bluebird fly away oh yeah yeah if I hold you in my arms
Will you stay here one more day
Stay one more day
Don't you say don't you say you're cold tonight
No take my coat and wrap yourself up tight
No yeah yeah don't you say don't you say
Our love won't last the year oh honey yeah
I think I made it very clear
Oh yeah yeah don't you say don't you say you're cold tonight
No take my coat and wrap yourself up tight
No yeah yeah don't you say don't you say our love won't last the year
Oh honey yeah I think I made it very clear
Cause if you're coming I'm going
Don't you take my heart
Cause when you leave me tonight I'll be so torn apart
It's when the bluebird sings his last songs
Would you stay oh just stay another
Day my dear oh just stay here one more day
The lyrics of Tyler Nugent's song, Blue Bird, talks about a relationship that is nearing its end but the singer still wants to hold on to it. The first stanza describes a scene where the singer is losing hope in the relationship. The walls are falling down, and the rain is pouring in, and the little blue bird, which has been singing songs that have provided comfort and consolation for the singer, won't help anymore. The leaves on the trees are withering, and this symbolizes an ending. The singer is torn between carrying on or stopping, and it seems like the future is bleak.
The second stanza talks about the apocalypse, and the singer wants to be remembered when the end comes. The singer wants to be thought of even when someone holds the hand of the person who once belonged to the singer. The singer exhorts the other person to hold on to their last breath and take it with them because they do not want to be reminded of their losses in life. The singer then tells the other person to let go and fly away like the bluebird if they do not feel the same way. The singer acknowledges the reality of the situation, and the words "don't you say don't you say our love won't last the year oh honey yeah" show that the singer knows the relationship is about to end.
Overall, the lyrics of Blue Bird are poetically written and convey a sense of loss, hopelessness, and acceptance of an imminent end. The song is heartfelt and relatable to people who have experienced the end of a relationship.
