Imogen Heap – Little Bird Lyrics 16 years ago
To me, this song is about an abusive home. That's just the first thing that came to my mind.

I think that it's telling the tale of this "little bird", which can actually be interpreted as Imogen, or a child that she is talking to about the situation, or just some other observer. The whole story is talking about how everything looks beautiful and fine on the outside of the home, but things are bad on the inside, eventually leading to the observer having to stop watching, or the child dying, or the family moving, etc..

Imogen Heap – Canvas Lyrics 16 years ago
Actually, the correct words according to the actual album cover are:

Slow heart
Dark weight
Down love
Black canvas
Revolve within
You understand

Fragile
Earthware
Cracks in
The temperature
Keep it cool to give
You understand

The more you look
The less you see
So close your yes
And start to breathe
Oh, you said yourself
this wasn't easy
--

Funny how accents make a song easy to hear in different ways, eh?
