| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Magpies on Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| To me this song is about growth, about looking back and figuring out what parts of your life were true and what survived through the lies. A.K has made references in his book Scar Tissue about looking out his window at the birds flying by. He identified with them detailing how he always felt like he was a bird flying along always looking in at the world. I find myself among similar feelings and moods. Magpies On Fire gives credence to an idea that we each sum up our lives by the mistakes we make and what we learn from them. Sometimes we lock ourselves up, afraid of misstep, afraid of what may happen. Only when we break free and reflect on the good that has come from our mistakes are we truly free. There couldn't be a more beautiful way to illustrate these ideas in such a song. | |
