Story behind the song
Self-Liberation: She acknowledges a recurring pattern where someone (likely a partner or a significant figure) doesn't know what to do, causing frustration or stagnation. The decision to "stay true to myself" signals a turning point, prioritizing their own needs and authenticity.
Journey and Uncertainty: The lines about driving on "old city roads" and not knowing where they're going evoke a sense of searching for direction, both literally and metaphorically. It suggests a period of transition, where the destination is less important than the act of moving forward.
Appreciation of Time: The reflection on how fleeting time is, symbolized by a "bird on our shoulder," underscores the urgency of living authentically and not wasting moments on situations that don't align with one's values.
Lyrics
No matter what the weather,
Whatever you do, just better
Than any other thing around,
I won't ever be your fool.
You never know what to do,
So it's time for me to move,
Now I gonna stay true to myself.
Do you know what that means
Coast to coast and then back to home,
I drove on old city roads,
And I really didn't know where I was going!
You never know what to do,
So it's time for me to move,
Now I gotta stay true to myself.
'Cause too short, the time,
As bird on our shoulder,
In the blink of an eye,
It surely does fly
