Birds of Prey Lyrics

Scrape me
Peel me slowly and see
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
So tender so raw and so ready to surrender
The feeling is so fleeting
The rush is so deceiving

I am empty
You are empty
We pretend
I am not sorry
You are not sorry
We pretend

Because it's the same (It's the same)
Either way (Either way)
Either way (Either way) it's the same
It's the same (It's the same)
Either way (Either way)
Either way (Either way it's the same)
We are birds of prey

Steer me
Career me
Subscribe to me yearly
To feel there produce me
Increase or reduce me
So vacant so blank and so ready to just fake it
Uscrew me
Unloose me
I'm useless so just use me

I am empty
You are empty
We pretend
I am not sorry
You are not sorry
We pretend

Because it's the same (It's the same)
Either way (Either way)
Either way (Either way) it's the same
It's the same (It's the same)
Either way (Either way)
Either way (Either way it's the same)
We are birds of prey

Attack attack
Breakdown

We are birds of prey (It's the same)
(Either way)
(Either way)
(It's the same)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about two people who only want sex from each other and the lack of a real relationship between them.

I think this songs about the people of the world. Every person is the same, but so different. We reveal ourselves to everyone. Some have control of oneself other's don't. It's sort of like this...look who we really are.

i agree with Julio, this song is about 2 people who are only using each other for sex. They're birds of prey, empty inside.
