| The Bird and the Bee – Ray Gun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think it's about a girl who's coming of age and is overwhelmed by having to figure out what to do with her life. She always put off thinking about it, treating it as something in the future that she doesn't have to deal with yet. The ray gun symbolizes this because it's futuristic and unreachable, but now similar things are actually being developed. She can no longer leave things to the future, because the future is now. She feels like everything keeps going around her and rushing her while she remains confused ("all the planets spinning fast around us") and like there are too many "angles" that her future could take and none seem more appealing than others ("all this beauty stretching out behind us"). Thinking about all this makes her feel trapped and weighed down, and she wants someone to come and figure it out for her or make her not have to figure it out at all, so that she can just have "a pretty little life" without having to do any work to create such a life. I think a lot of high school and college students have this sort of crisis and just want an easy way out. |

Come on up into the attic, come and see the glow A pretty idiot is kissing everyone she doesn't know Take yourself out, hit the tambourine We have loaded up your eyes and fed you tangerines Give yourself up, make yourself sing Don't tell us that you can't You need assembling |

I think it's So hard for me to just erase the lens Cool babies and soft operations Holding my hands, throwing coins in my cup Twisting numbers and public relations I try to give it everything The games I play, the songs I sing |
