| I have no idea....but those words sound so beautiful when he sings them he could be telling to eat poop and die and I don't think I'd care. This is the kind of song you just lose yourself in.

| Flightless Bird has a fantastic melody, doesn't it?!? Here's someone's interpritations: "IMO, there are dual, yet similar, themes running through this song: (1) an individual's loss of innocence/idealism; and (2) the degradation/dissolution of the mythical "American" dream. The first verse sets our protagonist as an innocent child (quick, wet, diving too deep) - newly born, baptized, full of energy/enthusiasm, carefree. We get a glimpse of what's to come through the "blind" eyes of the adult world whom the child can already see seem focused on material things ("plastic toys"). The "cops" (his own adulthood) crash the party and he's forced to grow up and give up his pure youthful enjoyment of life (cut his baby hair). Thus, he begins his quest to find his meaning/life in this adult American landscape. For me, it also brings to mind the end of the idealism of the peace/protest movement of the late 60's...the system crushes the uprising...the hippies cut their hair...and wander off...going on to what? Well, the second verse tells us exactly where our protagonist's journey has landed him...a big fat safe spot with the adults of his youth. He's achieved the "American Dream", or has he? Now all talk and no action. He curses himself and the wrong/injustice he sees around him, yet he idly sits and watches these "poison rats" (the establishment, big business, corrupt government) slither by and destroy his ideal world. He bides his time in his magazines, finding pleasure in viewing some advertisement of folks fishing in some idyllic river. He is not out there himself, but even if he was, he would be merely pillaging/ruining/sacrificing a place of nature ("blood of christ mountain stream"). It's a really depressing song, but it's certainly beautiful." |

| Heres a little interesting fact that I just caught about the movie yesterday. If you watch till the end of the credits on the bonus disk about how the movie was made it says "If you watched the credits you need to be treated for OCD - Obsessive Cullen Disorder." It flashes very briefly at the bottom. I had to stop the movie to see what I said. I think it's true though!

I should have known there was so much more to the words than what was written. I think the reason Twilight has taken on such a fan base is because it is not about vampires as much it is about life and love. I think the use of vampires was just her (author) vessel. Whatever it is... is sure is addicting and this song was perfect for the movie. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!

| I know what you mean. It's on satalite right now and I keep going in and watching certain parts - again and again. A guy at work has all 4 audio books on his ipod and he's letting me use it. I finally got through the first book but I'm excited to get back so that I can start on the New Moon.

Hahaha - I just REALLY read this!!! That's so true. I could have sworn I heard the words "and I love you" but instead they turned out to be "have I lost you".... funny how you hear things different than what they really are. I tried to cut and paste the words last night but the page I was on wouldn't let me. I'll post them if I can.

| I have them! I can post them for you! Flightless Bird, American Mouth artist - Iron and Wine album - The Shepard's Dog I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your straight blind eyes Wide on my plastic toys And 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 bill looming Now I'm a fat house cat Cursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide/white fence cracks Kissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you? Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, stuck going down
