Birds
Unveiling the Depths: Crystal Castles' Poignant Narrative
Lyrics
Expose them to the air
Expressing vulnerability or exposing hidden emotions
Drag them by the hair
Symbolizing control or manipulation, possibly in a relationship context
If you ask I'm feeling fine
Downplaying personal struggles when asked, maintaining a facade
Malignant to benign
Contrast between harmful and benign aspects, suggesting internal conflicts
Show up throw up into the womb
Repetitive imagery of regurgitation into the womb, possibly representing a cycle of self-destructive behavior
Show up throw up into the womb
-Show up throw up into the womb
-Show up throw up into the womb
-Each breath is but a sigh
Life is portrayed as a series of sighs, emphasizing a sense of resignation or monotony
She never bat an eye
Indicating emotional detachment or indifference
It's not polite to stare
Social norms and politeness being disregarded, perhaps highlighting a rebellious or non-conforming attitude
Wool spun from her hair
Creation of fabric from hair suggests a transformation or manipulation of one's identity
Show up throw up into the womb
Repetition of the vomit imagery, reinforcing the cyclical nature of destructive behavior
Show up throw up into the womb
-Show up throw up into the womb
-Show up throw up into the womb
-Obedient and shy
Describing someone as obedient and shy, possibly commenting on societal expectations and conformity
With button nose and eyes
Depicting physical characteristics, emphasizing superficial traits
Recoil at his prayer
Reacting negatively to prayer, suggesting a rejection of traditional values or beliefs
I'm biased to be fair
Acknowledging a biased perspective, hinting at subjectivity in the narrator's viewpoint
