I will tell you now, Sia sings as bourgeois CAPITAL, from the perspective of capital; her voice, and songs, as the creative schizophrenisation of capital. The recording machine, the contradictory machine, the paranoiac machine, the consumptive machine... It is no coincidence that Sia is code for C-I-A. Most of her songs are from the paranoia, relief, aspiration, victories, and curiosities of capital. This particular song, Electric Bird, is about the internet as a device to extinguish the real social spaces enabling assembly; for the controlled "virtual" space of the internet. In which we have all become ensnared. The "beating heart" that "fluttered round the yard" being Socialism, now considered vanquished by capital through the isolating and alienating advent of the internet. This song, is a victory song of capital.
