Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who knows your number
Who knows your color
Who knows your hands
Who knows the sum
The sum of all your parts
Who knows your limit
Who knows your lowest
Who knows your in
Who knows that bottom
The bottom of your heart
Hold on hold on
Keep holding on to me
I will love you from the bottom
No one holds you better than me
Hold on hold on
Doing the best we can
I will love you on your birthday
I will love you better than them
Who knows the reason
Who knows the cure
Who knows the answer
Who knows the cause
Who knows the pain
The pain when we're apart
Hold on hold on
Keep holding on to me
I will love you from the bottom
No one holds you better than me
Hold on hold on
Doing the best we can
I will love you on your birthday
I will love you better than them
The song "Birthday" by thebirdandthebee is a sweet and sentimental ode to a loved one. The lyrics ask a series of questions – who knows your birthday, your number, your color, your hands, and the sum of all your parts. The singer is seeking to know all the little details that make up the person they love, and the questions reveal a desire for deep understanding and connection.
The chorus repeats the phrase "hold on hold on" and emphasizes the idea of being there for someone, especially on their birthday. The singer promises to love and support the person they care for, and declares that no one can hold them better. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics explore the idea of pain and separation, and affirm the commitment to love even when apart.
The song captures the essence of a close and loving relationship, and is a celebration of the small and big things that make someone special. It is a reminder to cherish and appreciate the people in our lives, especially on birthdays, as they are a reminder of the passage of time and the importance of connection.

C Sab
And say what exactly? "Dear Shiera, I had to stand you up becasue your my rencarnated lover who ends up getting killed by our arch enemy everytime we fall in love. It pains me to say this but I must break the cycle by keeping you at a distance so you can never fall in love with me. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but tye fact is our love is forever tragic."
The two outcomes that could happen would be
A) Shiera thinks he's nuts or a BSer and proceeds to avoid him for the rest ofbher days. Which would pretty much be the same outcome he's trying to go for here.
B) this letter triggers her past life memories and she runs after him with the, "I don't care how our story ends as long as I can have a story with you!" mentality. Thus possibly leading the duo to die again by Set's hands.
Not trying to dog on you friend, but the fact is HM is in a bind no matter what he does. Unless he gets his team and the girls to help him gangup on Set

They remember each other, but in each lifetime, when they fall in love, Hath-Set appears and destroy them over and over, and its clear that one doesn't want the other to suffer again. And they can't go on like this forever. What should they do ? Seal their love and get killed again or finally start a new lifetime without each other and find someone else to love ?
Gigi Sonic-Gumball
@Saad i won't lie, i think and want the same, but we don't know what will happen so i can't be 100% sure
Gigi Sonic-Gumball
@Saad yeah, Karen and Carter's relationship changed a lot in this episode. First they indifferent with each other and now they are great crime fight parthers.
Mothman The9th
If you remember my first two facts I have one more we dont know if falling in love with someone else will get rid of that hath set he didn't specify and for all we know he will swoop down on them no matter who they fall for
Gigi Sonic-Gumball
@Mothman The9th maybe not, Hath-Set's curse is about to destroy the love of Khufu and Chay-ra (Carter and Shiera).
Lord Van Oskuro
@Saad About that, Karen tends to end up with Herald. Whether she plays Frankenstein with her own newborn depends on the writer.
NobodyOfKnowhere
I dont know why but this episode hits different than every episode in this series ever. Like, i entered this series with literally NO expectation, then this episode happened and i was like "am i sure im watching the same show? "

This is how you do a tragic love story that can hold up. Suck it Shakespeare.

He knows in their predicament, the only way to love her is to keep her safe, even if that means they can't be together
