yeah, i can kind of interpretet it as a drug song making the change add up to what she's pulling up her sleeves for the lonely rain ("i feel pessimists are people who wait for rain, and i'm soaked to the core" kind of deal) she's isolated as a result of the drug or whatever.. and even though where the drug takes her does seem like heaven/ the high she gets from it might seem like things cant get better [from such a low point], it definitely isn't heaven and he's saying don't stop here, and die thinking thats as good as its going to get; its not. the only way to stop is to cut the rope and drift away, sure its going to be hard, but make the curtain fall together, put an end to it etc she shouldn't be fooled by the 'birds' (or... the interesting little things.. like people.. that are also on drugs?) that are down the alley.. maybe thats where she gets her fix, because they're just fleas? (thermo4's correction) with feathers.. meaning that um, they're deceiving and really pests absorbing life from something else, with a charming or desirious appearence that is quite false pushing up the daisy chains, is an idiom for being dead, right? maybe.. she's exactly dead. but the way he refers to her, she might as well be

i mean.. you know.. i dont have much of an idea, i was just trying to figure one out... since i love this song, but it doesn't have many interpretations on here... i really want to hear other peoples ideas

I like this song. No... I really think the lyrics are those birds are only pleased with feathers. Only fleas with feathers? That doesn't make sense. A flea ridden bird? I think this girl is unpopular and I don't think with a flea ridden bird. Those birds are only pleased with feathers is a saying.
