Does anyone else think this song is referencing The Thorn Birds, by Colleen McCullough? You've probably read the part I'm talking about:
"There is a legend about a bird
which sings just once in its life,
more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree,
and does not rest until it has found one.
Then, singing among the savage branches,
it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine.
And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale.
One superlative song, existence the price.
But the whole world stills to listen,
and God in His heaven smiles.
For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain....
Or so says the legend."
I'm pretty sure he's talking about that poem (Once someone told a story about these small desert birds,
throwing themselves in thorns when copulating in lust...And while embraced by death they sing so fine than never).
@Silent_Hitman009 Yeah, he references the poem but only to serve as a vessel for the meaning one gets out of this track. Whatever it may be to whomever.
