Exploring the transient nature of life and relationships, "Birds" by Imagine Dragons and Elisa poignantly captures the essence of change and emotional evolution. The lyrics juxtapose the constancy of love against life’s inevitable shifts, using the metaphor of birds flying in different directions to symbolize how people can grow apart yet remain connected by their shared experiences and feelings. The recurring theme that "everything is temporary" underscores a universal truth about adaptability and growth, while affirming that love itself remains enduring. This song resonates with anyone who has experienced loss or change, offering a hopeful perspective that reunion, whether in memory or reality, is possible despite life's vicissitudes.
