This song to some extension relates to Ghost Story in that what did not kill just made me tougher. From Sting perspective he never wanted to live like his father.
He wanted out. That to me appears to be at least the wound and his career the flower.
When I hear this song I think of the mother with a child with a birth defect.
As I was born with a birth defect, bilateral cleft lip and palate, I see much simile.
I see the wound, I see the annoying birds and I see the flower
The metaphor is profound.
