Birds - Lyrics Decryption

Birds

 

been standing in the corner

studying the lights

the dreaming of escape will keep you up at night

but someone had put the flares up

and got me in the rays

so I guess I’d better stay

‘uh uh no come on’ you say

 

it’s a fool’s gold thunder

it’s just a warring rain

don’t let the fears just start ‘what if

I won’t see you again’

around here you never want to sleep all night

so start falling in love, start the riot and

 

come on rage with me

we don’t need words

and we’ll be birds

got to make our own key

 

only got this moment

you and me

guilty of nothing

but geography

 

come on and raise it

come on and raise this noise

for the million people

who got not one voice

come on it’s not over if you

mean it say loud

come on all for Love

out from the underground

away with me

we don’t need words

close your eyes and see

and we’ll be birds

flying free

holding on in the mystery

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

fearless together

you said ‘we’ll go through this together’

when you fly won’t you

won’t you take me too?

in this world so cruel

I think you’re so cool

^ Anyone guessed what these mean?

 

I interpret those lines as showing that whatever outside influences ("thunder" and "rain") might hinder the relationship the song is referencing, they should be discounted as unimportant ("fool's gold"), trivial, terminal ("warring"-- therefore eventually ending itself). What do you think? Perhaps they are allusions to other poetry, movies, stories, literature, or something entirely personal to Chris (or another band member) as well. Also, this is probably my favorite song on the album. It reminds me of the pop punk stuff I was into when I was in Jr. High... in a good way!

"oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

fearless together

you said ‘we’ll go through this together’"

 

call me deaf, but I can´t hear the last sentence in the song... it seems Chris changed it for another "ohohohohoh" but the original lyrics remained in the lyrics section of the website... :confused:

In the first "Fearles together you" I hear something like "Fearless Fearless free":oops:. However, the lyrics I wrote are from the official website... That's what confuses me...

When I play this song I can't hear the word underground :oops:

come on all for Love

out from the unldfkhjshnjdnbwayyyyyyyyyyyy with me

 

Hahaha I can definitely hear "from the underground awaaaaaayyyyyyyy with me" hehe I also hear "make our own key". The sentence that I always miss instead or forget cuz I cant hear it is "mean it say loud". He goes full falsetto and then he loses me LOL

 

I must say I just love how Chris enunciates in this song. Each word fits beautifully and I like how rhythmic his singing is here.

I'm trying to decrypt these lyrics too and this is what I have made of it:

 

...

come on all for Love

out from beyond and

away with me

we don’t need words

close your eyes and see

and we’ll be birds

flying free

holding on in the mystery

 

fearless, for you this feel(ing)

said we'll go

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

through this together

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

when you fly won’t you

would you take me too?

in this world so cruel

I think you’re so cool

 

I'm not sure if that is making sense in English though. :)

And can you decypher the last lines? It seems like Chris is singing different words.

 

The very two last lines? I hear exactly the same as on the lyrics:

 

"when you fly won’t you

would you take me too?

in this world so cruel

I think you’re so cool"

 

Or did you mean another part?

The last 2 lines I can understand but the lines above them are difficult to hear and seem different from the lyrics on the website.

 

See post #18 for the 2 paragraphs I'm referring to. That's my interpretation of them.

I have been playing this over and over again and I must be going crazy because I keep hearing it like this:

 

come on all for Love

out from beyond and --> this I'm not sure of, but it's not underground

away with me

we don’t need words

close your eyes and see

and we’ll be birds

flying free

holding on in the mystery

 

fearless, for you this feel(ings) --> I really hear this part different from the official lyrics

said we'll go

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

through this together

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

when you fly won’t you

would you take me too?

in this world so cruel

I think you’re so cool

 

and then I got the idea to play it at a slower tempo and now I'm pretty sure the lyrics on the site are different.

And if they are not, stuburn as I am, I will keep singing my version anyway. :D

^^ What I hear is:

 

"Out from the underground awaaaaaayyyyyyyyy with me" (underground and away are almost one word as he sings them one after the other, maybe thats why you dont hear it?)

 

I definitely hear fearless three times, the last one a bit unclear but its there in my ears. I cant hear the together after fearless though.

 

Cant hear the you before said we´ll go, but it may very well be there.
