| Little Dragon – Feather Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| To me this song is about empowerment and freeing yourself from your chains. It's taking a risk, there's a lot of uncertainty, but it's telling yourself to go and run that mountain down, break that which is holding you down, beat the powers that are weighing you down. A bandit does things on the bandit's own terms, whereas a lover is tied down-- in a bad relationship, love is a prison. Being a daughter in your prison is being in a relationship where the power dynamics are unequal; she is treated as inferior in a condescending manner. It takes a lot of courage to leave a bad relationship because love is a mountain that is hard to run down-- but go run it down girl. This song is to encourage, it's to reassure oneself but the reassurance comes from a state of self-doubt. Will it ever float? Will it ever soar? Do it all for the feather, do it all to free yourself. | |
