Bird
Oh!

The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!
The geek, with no beak:
He's so weak he cannot speak!

Vestigial wings
And dwarven legs.
A semper fi cranium
That's got automatic eggs.
His gaping maw
Is geared to spew.
He just might be a she
So Birdette will do!!

Go eat your eggs!
Force fed, force fed.
Go eat your eggs!
Out of his mouth
Straight at your head!!

With purple pants,
(They start to tear)
I reach out with all my might to
Poke out an eye.
I poke out an eye!
I poke out an eye!

My seven year old smile:
Vanishing!
Eggs,
Why eggs?!
It's breaking my heart.
It's hurting my nose.
It's turning my skin green!
Why did you have to be so mean?!

In my dreams I despise you
More than you'll ever know.
Even when I speak your name
It makes me fucking choke!

Bird, oh!

Bird

Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!

Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!
Throw it back!

    actually, this came straight out of nathans mouth, when he was younger he would go over his mothers house every 2 weeks, and his step father would try to feed him eggs, but he didnt like them, so e would try to make him eat them, and his mother im his defence would ell his step father that he didnt like them, and so he would beat her.

    well obviously its about nathans childhood since hes explained it several times

    though i gotta point out the reference i dont think anyone else has

    "with purple pants, they start to tear..."

    and "its turning my skin green"

    obviously this song holds alot of his anger of what his stepfather did to him, since hes referencing his anger to that of the hulks

    from personal experience i can understand how it feels, being young and being forced to do something you dont want to and having to pay a ridiculous price because of it, and wishing so bad you could just throw all the aggression and violence back, but you cant, and so the anger manifests and one day itll just explode

    and i think a big part of the birdo reference is also because at that age, nathan was probably playing nintendo so it more so describes the experience through adolescent means

    If there's actually anyone who doesn't understand this song, here's some helpful meaning: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdo

    So yeah, I suppose you can jump and say that this is the new "Cutsman"... or not, whatever.

    Anyways, I'm sure many can relate to both in terms of when we were young and growing up with our beloved NES. Sitting around for hours playing those cartridge games and struggling to beat what may now seem to be a cakewalk, yet back then pushed us to our limits and made us stronger with each failure and passing... and then again maybe not, whatever.

    But ummm, yeah, this song is an awesome one from the new album (The Mechanical Hand) which I can't wait to grab ahold of.

    I'm pretty sure this song is about getting frustrated playing Mario. Birdo is a boss that spits out eggs in Mario 2, I think... I'm a loser.

    Anyone know where the intro comes from?

    the intro comes from the Hobbit animated film, it's Gollum answering Bilbo's riddle.

    "Throw it back!"

    I believe this is referring to the method of killing a Birdo. Jumping on the eggs he (yes, he) spits out, catching them and throwing them back

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
