FLIGHTLESS BIRD AMERICAN MOUTH

FLIGHTLESS BIRD

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, American mouth
Big pill stuck going down

 

Love this song a lot. The first time I heard  this song is through 'The Twilight' movie... Edward and Bella were dancing for their prom night. Romantic yet solemn... I don't really understand the lyric of this song actually but I think it's about love. But not really sure what it mean. I'm not that poetic enough to read between the line of the lyric. I think I need someone who is major in literature to help me to understand this song. It sounds interesting but can't really figure out anything from each line of the lyric.

 

Since I have a cousin who recently graduated her master in Literature, I surely can ask her later. Sure she can read between the line. I'm not really good in Literature. Not even my favourite subject when I was in university. Even though it is actually one of major paper but then I managed to get only B. I think the only time I got A for literature is during Ms. Rihana Mydin class. I think that was my second year of degree year. I was quite shock actually that I got A for literature. Well, the reason why I got A was, during that year, we were doing preparation to teach students literature and we learnt about novel, short stories and also easy poem. I think that's why I got A. If my lecturer to give this type of song for me to read between the line, I may not be able to do it. 

 

Anyway, will be posting few more songs that I love just to share with all of you how I feel and how certain songs are very symbolic to me and my life. Will share all of you books that I've read and also few of the recipe that I've tried. And will upload more pics as well especially on cooking. Now I've not been doing a lot but will try to do my best to do something during the weekend if not away again... Ok... I think that's all. Will continue more later. Adios...
