Mr. Feather
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Mr. Feather
do you think you're really fly
Mr. Clever
she is fool enough to trust you
Mr. Stupid
you are not like anyone
Mr. Famous
I don't know your real name
Mr. Tiny your dream is so big
Mr. Clumsy
what you've made is so art
Mr. Doubtful
don't you trust yourself at all
I'm Mr. Complain
Yeah my life is shit
Give me something
that I'll never fail
Give me something
that I understand
Give me something
that I'll never lose again
Hey Mr. Smiley
do you smile when you are sad
Mr. Crazy
where is the border of sanity
Mr. Jealous
hope you don't have any secrets
Mr. Money what do you want
for next Christmas
Mr. Perfect
have you ever pulled it off
I'm Mr. Complain
Yeah my life is shit
Give me something
that I'll never fail
Give me something
that I understand
Give me something
that I'll never lose again
You are not here
You are not here
You are not here beside me
You are not here
You are not here
You are not here
Yeah my life is shit
Mr. Feather
do you think you're really fly
Mr. Clever
she is fool enough to trust you
Give me something
that I'll never fail
Give me something
that I understand
Give me something
that I'll never lose again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ELLEGARDEN's song "Mr. Feather" are a series of questions directed at different characters, each with his own title, asking for something specific. The questioning starts off addressing Mr. Feather, asking if he thinks he's really fly. The song then moves onto Mr. Clever, who is fooling someone into trusting him, and then to Mr. Stupid, who is different from everyone else. The song continues to ask questions, such as Mr. Famous' real name, Mr. Tiny's big dreams, Mr. Clumsy's artwork, and Mr. Doubtful's lack of self-trust. The singer then introduces himself as Mr. Complain, seemingly fed up with his life and wanting something to change. The final section of the song confronts Mr. Smiley's possible sadness, Mr. Jealous' secrets, Mr. Money's Christmas wishes, and Mr. Perfect's attempts at pulling something off.


Despite the range of characters, the message seems clear that everyone wants something they feel they are missing in their lives. The repetition of asking for something to never fail, to be understood, and to never lose again, suggests a desire for security and certainty. The lyrics are contemplative, leaving the listener to decide if the characters are really as they seem, or if there's an underlying message about perspective and the complexity of human nature.
