Early American Lyrics
[Kim]
Nothing but a savage bird
in your face
in your land
the weight of you is greater than
forgot my pride
forgot my side (sight/size?)
don't bother to leave
there's no room outside
your sense of pride
nothing here but a savage bird
Nothing but a savage bird
in your face
in your land
the weight of you is greater than
forgot my pride
forgot my side (sight/size?)
there's no room outside
your sense of pride
nothing here but a savage bird

I think it's "savage blur". Not that that makes it much clearer. It seems to be a tie-in with "Ghost Bitch", another degeneration-of-America related Kim-penned song.
This is about colonization. Such a amazing song, it fits in Brazil history too.
