Cover art for Weather Systems lyrics by Andrew Bird

hmmm i think this song is about an end of a relationship. she's speaking to him, but he's not paying much attention. "quiet down she said, speaking to the back of his head" that's when she sees all the signs of the end. she opens her eyes and sees his blood flow, his cells grow. he's already moving away from her. and the part about the wine, i also agree that it's about the good moments they've had. she doesn't want it to spill, and since she sees that he's already forgetting she wishes that if he moves (metiphoricaly) all of their good past will spill, thus disappear.

and from there i don't know. :D

maybe weather systems means the changes in his mind? or the changes happening to them both.

"i can see it all from here i can see weather systems of the world."

and btw: i loooooooove this song!! probably my favorite song from this genious man.
