Bird Sounds
Awakening the Unseen: Profound Reflections in Circa Survive's Bird Sounds
Lyrics
It's so selfish to say "We won't be found out a lie"
Expressing the selfishness of denying a lie, anticipating consequences and the need to hide.
I hope you have a good place to hide
Wishing the person well in finding a secure hiding place.
Someone will find you
Stating the inevitability of being discovered or facing consequences.
No one should have to live with this much stress
Highlighting the burden of excessive stress and the undesirability of such a life.
Killing yourself, trying to live (And it remains)
Exploring the contradiction of self-destructive behavior while trying to survive.
And it remains the only meaningful mistake
Characterizing a significant mistake as the only meaningful one in the context.
But you won't let go, you don't know howto
Describing a struggle to let go, indicating difficulty in moving on.
And every morning I begin my dreams when I'm awake
Reflecting on the immersive nature of dreams experienced while awake.
Empty bird sounds are reminders
Empty bird sounds symbolize reminders of something missing or absent.
You're not awake at all In the most unusual of ways
Suggesting a state of being not fully awake in an unconventional manner.
It comes without summoning
Describing the arrival of something unexpected without deliberate intent.
You have no choice in it
Emphasizing the lack of choice in the arrival of the unexpected.
I don't think it's selfish to say "This doesn't matter"
Contemplating the insignificance of declaring something as unimportant.
I can see it running through his veins
Imagery of a substance running through veins, possibly denoting influence or impact.
We're in the kingdom (And it remains)
Existing in a metaphorical kingdom, and again highlighting a meaningful mistake.
And it remains the only thing you can't explain
Reiterating the significance of an inexplicable element in life.
But you never know, it's better not to
Emphasizing uncertainty and the potential wisdom in not knowing certain things.
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
Associating mornings with repeating meaningful mistakes.
Empty bird sounds, are reminders
Empty bird sounds serving as persistent reminders of what is lacking.
You're not awake at all
Reiterating a state of not being fully awake in an unconventional manner.
We must allow, we must allow to settle and stray
Advocating for allowing things to settle and deviate from the norm.
Now that I see, now that I see it run through your head
A shift in perspective, observing something running through someone's mind.
And it remains the only thing you can't explain
Re-emphasizing the enigmatic nature of an unexplainable element.
But you won't let go, you don't know howto
Continuing the struggle to let go and the difficulty in moving forward.
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
Connecting mornings with repeated meaningful mistakes.
You're not awake at all
Reiterating a state of not being fully awake in an unconventional manner.
You're not awake at all
Concluding with the repetition of not being fully awake, possibly suggesting a persistent state.
