Menguak Makna di Balik Lirik Im Like A Bird yang Melejitkan Nama Nelly Furtado

Di bagian bridge, Furtado menyuarakan ketakutannya. Bukan karena tak cinta, tapi justru karena cinta itulah dia takut akhirnya akan menyakiti.

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me (Oh-oh)
Each and every single day
I know I'm gonna have to eventually
Give you away

Ada pengakuan jujur di sini. Sebuah penegasan bahwa meski cintanya langka dan tulus, rasa takut untuk gagal tetap menghantui.

And though my love is rare, rare, rare
And though my love is true, yeah
Hey, I'm just scared
That we may fall through
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

Lagu kemudian mengakhiri dengan pengulangan bagian chorus yang semakin intens, seolah menggambarkan jiwa yang benar-benar merasakan kebebasan sekaligus kerinduan akan sebuah tempat berpijak.

I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
(I don't know where my soul is)
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
(I don't know where my home is, oh)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
(I don't know where my soul is)
(I don't know where my home is)
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

Dan diulang lagi, sampai akhirnya lagu benar-benar berhenti, meninggalkan kesan mendalam tentang kebebasan dan pencarian jati diri.

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
