The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Swan" by the artist "Willa"

Contents

In the song "Swan," the author Willa challenges traditional notions of femininity and romantic relationships. The lyrical heroine is a strong and independent woman who doesn't seek approval or attention from men.

Phrases like "I'm not an angel," "I'm not Gabriel," "I'm not a saint" reject the stereotype of a woman as an innocent and submissive creature. She's not going to live up to anyone's expectations and "turn the page" in someone's life.

"I'm not a prize," "I'm not a candy" emphasize that the heroine is not an object for someone's pleasure or achievement. She is not afraid to be daring and self-willed: "I like children who make their elders nervous."

The recurring image of a swan serves as a metaphor for false, idealized beauty. "I'm not a swan, preening in the pond," declares the heroine, rejecting attempts to put her within the framework of generally accepted standards.

Ultimately, the song "Swan" is an anthem of self-sufficiency and the freedom to be yourself, regardless of anyone's expectations.

I'm not in love,

Don't have the touch,

Don't have the time to bend another little church boy's mind again.

I'm not an angel,

I'm not a Gabriel,

I'm not a saint, a sage, or someone, who'll turn the page for ya.

I'm not a trophy,

A little Miss Bo Peep,

I'm not a sweet treat dropping from my feet to my knees for ya.

I don't like picnics

But I like a little mischief,

I like the kids who give a little bit lip to the mistress.

I'm not the girl you want,

I'm not the debutante,

I'm not a swan, I'm not a swan

Pretty in a pond.

I'm not in love,

Don't have the time,

Call it a crime to find everything I need in me and mine.

I'm not the girl you want,

I'm not the debutante,

I'm not a swan, I'm not a swan

Pretty in a pond.

I'm not the baller in songs

For the upper echelon,

I'm not a swan, I'm not a swan

Pretty in a pond.

I'm not a swan, I'm not a swan

Pretty in a pond.
