lund Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My demons they grow
They drag me below
But nobody knows
No nobody knows
When they take control
I cannot die, I don't bleed anymore
Still I feel the pain
I'm burned by the flames
Eternal yells cast into the lake
Where there is no love
'Cause love is just pain
So why am I living life 'cause life's just the same?
Blackbird don't need a reason to go fly
Nobody wonders why he gets so high
'Cause nobody ever question where he go
'Cause nobody pays attention anymore
Blackbird gon' fall from the sky
Blackbird gon' take his own life
Blackbird he say goodbye
Blackbird he don't wanna cry
Blackbird he don't wanna cry no more
I'll admit that I am selfish, I'll admit that I have lied
But girl how many times can I fucking apologize
Stare into your eyes I'm looking for a vital sign
But all I see is cold baby your hearts turned into ice
Conversate with God only thing that keep me round
Got a little bit of hope left though I'm broke down
Late at night my demons fight they yell so fuckin' loud
Burning blunts and empty bottles only thing that calm them down
I'm losing my soul
My demons they grow
They drag me below
But nobody knows
No nobody knows
When they take control
I cannot die, I don't bleed anymore
Still I feel the pain
Inside this hell
I'm burned by the flames
Eternal yells cast into the lake
Where there is no love
'Cause love is just pain
So why am I living life 'cause life's just the same?
Blackbird don't need a reason to go fly
Nobody wonders why he gets so high
'Cause nobody ever question where he go
'Cause nobody pays attention anymore
Blackbird gon' fall from the sky
Blackbird gon' take his own life
Blackbird he say goodbye
Blackbird he don't wanna cry
Blackbird he don't wanna cry no more
The song BlkBird by Lund is a melancholic reflection on the singer's inner turmoil and feelings of desperation. The first verse sets the tone with the opening lines, "I'm losing my soul, my demons they grow, they drag me below." This paints a picture of an individual who is drowning in their own despair, with their inner demons growing more powerful by the day. Despite this, the singer feels utterly alone in their struggle, as "nobody knows" the extent of their pain. The second verse continues the theme of the singer's inner turmoil, highlighting the fact that they are in immense emotional pain, even as they are unable to die or bleed. The use of the image of "eternal yells cast into the lake" is particularly powerful, symbolizing a sense of isolation and despair.
The chorus introduces the metaphor of the blackbird as a symbol of the singer's own struggle to escape their pain. The line "Blackbird don't need a reason to go fly" speaks to the singer's desire for freedom, and for the ability to rise above their struggles. However, the singer also acknowledges that this desire may ultimately lead to their own downfall, with the lines "Blackbird gon' fall from the sky, Blackbird gon' take his own life." The repetition of the line "Blackbird he don't wanna cry no more" is a poignant reminder of the singer's intense emotional pain, and their desperation to be free of it.
Overall, BlkBird is a haunting portrayal of an individual struggling with their inner demons, and their desire for freedom from their pain.

I'm losing my soul
My sense of self is slipping away
My demons they grow
My inner problems become larger and more difficult to manage
They drag me below
My issues imprison me and bring me down
But nobody knows
Nobody understands what I'm going through
No nobody knows
There is no one who truly comprehends the extent of my struggles
When they take control
When my problems become too much to handle
I cannot die, I don't bleed anymore
I'm no longer able to feel real emotions or sensations
Still I feel the pain
Despite my numbness, I still experience emotional anguish
Inside this hell
My current state of being feels like eternal damnation
I'm burned by the flames
I'm tormented by my demons and the negative consequences of my actions
Eternal yells cast into the lake
My mental anguish is like a scream that echoes endlessly
Where there is no love
There is no affection or genuine care in my life
'Cause love is just pain
The idea and experience of love only brings heartache
So why am I living life 'cause life's just the same?
Why bother with the mundanity and struggle of living when it feels so hopeless?
Blackbird don't need a reason to go fly
I envy the freedom of a bird to escape from pain and sorrow
Nobody wonders why he gets so high
No one questions the bird's decision to fly away
'Cause nobody ever question where he go
The bird's departure is uncontested and unnoticed
'Cause nobody pays attention anymore
The people around me have given up on helping me or paying attention to my struggles
Blackbird gon' fall from the sky
The bird's freedom may ultimately lead to his own destruction
Blackbird gon' take his own life
The bird may choose to end its own life rather than suffer further
Blackbird he say goodbye
The bird bids farewell to his old life and the things that caused him pain
Blackbird he don't wanna cry
The bird is tired of being weighed down by sadness
Blackbird he don't wanna cry no more
The bird wants to escape its pain and find peace
I'll admit that I am selfish, I'll admit that I have lied
I acknowledge that I have made mistakes and hurt others
But girl how many times can I fucking apologize
Despite my remorse, I'm unsure if I can ever make amends for my actions
Stare into your eyes I'm looking for a vital sign
I desperately seek some indication that things can still be okay and that there is hope in my life
But all I see is cold baby your hearts turned into ice
Despite my efforts, the person I care about is emotionally distant and unresponsive
Conversate with God only thing that keep me round
The only thing that makes me continue living despite my struggles is my faith in something greater than myself
Got a little bit of hope left though I'm broke down
Despite everything, I still hold onto a small glimmer of hope that things will be okay
Late at night my demons fight they yell so fuckin' loud
When I'm alone with my thoughts, my inner problems feel even more overwhelming and unmanageable
Burning blunts and empty bottles only thing that calm them down
I use drugs and alcohol to temporarily numb myself from the pain and chaos in my life
