Although the song describes a blackbird with broken wings, the song wasn't actually about injured wildlife. Sir Paul McCartney wrote this song in Scotland and was playing around with the idea of the phrase, "you were only waiting for this moment to arise". he used this phrase to symbolize the struggles in the black community in the southern states hence the blackbird.

The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr had a great part to play in the making of this song and others. "Blackbird", "Revolution" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" were all in support to the chaos rising from this movement.
