| Florence + the Machine – Bird Song Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
So, based on my experiences I saw this song as a perspective of someone who has paranoia and hallucinations and is just, well, crazy. Now, I don't use the word crazy lightly. I see crazy as something not just as a bit above average behavior. I see crazy as psychopathic tendencies (wanting to hurt others and yourself because it brings you pleasure, seeing things, hearing voices, being paranoid, etc.). Now, saying that I am going to say what I think the song is saying: "Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by Saw what I'd done he set up a nest outside, And he sang about what I'd become He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbours would hear, So I invited him in, just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again" So, she hurts someone or something, she commits a sin/crime and then a hallucination in the form of a bird shows up and reprimands her for it and she thinks it's telling others. So she promises the bird she won't do it again. "But he sang louder and louder inside the house, And no I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird and above the din I said That's the last song you'll ever sing Held him down, broke his neck, Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget" So, after she promises the bird he starts to sing louder and she kills him, ridding herself from being found out and the hallucination. "But in my dreams began to creep That old familiar tweet tweet tweet I opened my mouth to scream and shout, I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout, Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth to scream and shout Waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream I couldn't shout, The song was coming from my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth..." The bird comes back though because hallucinations never leave you alone. So, the bird somehow comes back and starts to make her feel guilty and make her even crazier. She becomes so stressed out that she starts screaming that she's sorry for what she's done and the bird becomes a major major thing in her life, the biggest out of all the other hallucinations. Once again, no trying to say anything that offends others or think I'm not explaining how it feels to hallucinate and actually not be mentally stable. I'm just going off my own feelings, experiences, and mind |
