| Soundgarden – Bones of Birds Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Was just pondering these lyrics and came to the conclusion, that it may be possible that the song is centered on the eagle... A bird of prey is a carnivorous bird which hunts other birds, such as a hawk or eagle... And in thinking about whether or not it is possible for eagles to drown I found that it is possible for them to drown when they are trying to catch fish from a river. Perhaps, in the mother eagle teaching her offspring to catch fish, the ones who are unable, *too weak to survive... would drown in the learning process? Could be a likely point of reference In the King Animal commentary I noticed that Chris Cornell said that the song is about not wanting his children to lose there innocence... Could be that the Eagle scenario is a deeper meaning of life... learning how to make it in life, how to survive, basic skills and the parent figure having the responsibility of teaching and making sure everything is ok during the childhood... also the burden of what if this child fails... Seems like a likely interpretation, but who knows? :) |
