Six shades were gold
In what was iron
That broke them all
And left you lying in bed
A bitter maul
Very very small

You thought the sea
Could make her belly swell
In a better dream
You wake and pace the hall
Spitting bowl and seeds
Those iron brothers
And that's a dream
Nothing matters at all
At all
At all
Nothing matters at all
At all
At all

When you regrow home in hearts of iron
When you regrow home in hearts of iron
When you regrow home in hearts of iron
When you regrow home in hearts of iron

    the first verse is about those birds that lay their egg in other birds' nests. And their egg hatches first among the other bird's eggs, and destroys them prematurely. But one of them survives.

    Not sure about the second verse exactly. But the person who wakes up and seems to be surrounded by these "iron" birds.

    And the last little bit, I suppose suggesting "we" are/have been the iron birds.

    Just an interpretation I suppose.
