Leave The Nest
Become Independent
noun
When you live in a nest (巣), there's only one reason for you to stand up (立つ), and that's to leave the nest. Your mother may be sad about this, but everyone needs to become independent someday.
The readings are from the words 巣 and 立つ put together. Just watch out for the rendaku that changes たつ to だつ!
