Florence And The Machine Bird Song lyrics

 
Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by,
Saw what I'd done,
He set up a nest outside,
And he sang about what I'd become,
He sang so loud, he sang so clear,
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear,
So I invited him in just to reason with him,
I promised I wouldn't do it again
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/bird_song.html ]
But he sang louder and louder inside the house,
And now I couldn't get him out,
So I trapped him under a cardboard box,
Stood on it to make it stop,
Picked up the bird and the bird was dead,
And said that's the last song you'll ever sing,
Held him down, broke his neck,
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

But in my dreams began to creep,
That old familiar tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout,
I waived my arms and flapped about,
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,
I opened my mouth to scream and shout,
I waived my arms and flapped about,
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,
The song was coming from my mouth

From my mouth (x15)

This song is about guilt. The bird is a metaphore for her guilt about something and she doesn't want anyone to know what she's done so she tries to "stomp on the box" of guilt to try and shut it out.

"picked up the bird and above the din"*
I think it's supposed to be like that

It's not a bird .. It's god who can see all what we do , hear all what we say .. God knows everything about us .. God made us .. And we're try'n each time we do something bad , to deny it ..

I love how this teaches a person who has done something wrong that this bird
Would come and never leave and haunt you for doing that.

It's like secret by the pierces you can run but you can't hide and you will be haunted by it and it will bite you back

I think the song is pretty much self-explanatory: if you've done something you're ashamed of, it won't leave you; it'll come back to haunt you... And there's no escaping it... Xx
