I wish I knew which button to push
Then I'd know how to please you
It's sad but true
So I'll just listen in down the line
While you're busy mixing grape with grain
To sedate your pain
Songbird, you got tales to tell
How many times can you describe your living hell? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bernard_fanning/songbird.html ]
The sweeping gesture creates a fuss
It's only useful when receiving praise
Relieving no-ones pain
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
You'd have everything you'd need to break
Free from all your pain
Songbird, you got tales to tell
How many times can you describe your living hell?

It is about the soul who sings freely for everyone, however it only can do this through the bars of the ego which keeps the true nature and beauty of this woman imprisoned. We know that love sets us free, however it also causes us pain, which in turn gives depth to our song.
