| Iron & Wine – Flightless Bird, American Mouth Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Thanks for everyone posting the lyrics and thoughts on the interpretations of this lovely song. However, ABookOnAShelf, I am always amazed at pseudointellectuals presuming to tell the rest of us how inane we are. Regarding the placement of this song in the movie Twilight, since when do teenagers listen to song lyrics at a dance? This is a moving, beautiful slow song, and so well suited for that point in the movie. It's clear that whatever the song's meaning, it is a lament and so fits the mood of the scene also. The lyrics are irrelevant to the creation of mood. Did you actually read the book series, or are you just making off-the-cuff remarks about something you know nothing about. Amazing how you can describe a simply beautiful and passionate love story as "an obsessive, stalking, dangerously codependent relationship". Either you have no personal concept of a "soulmate" or you simply don't believe in the existence of that concept. Either way, how sad. I'd hate to have to go through life just settling because you have no idea of what a truly great and complete romantic love relationship is. | |
