Kicker
Alex G Lyrics

White bird in a black cloud
Starting off with the imagery of a white bird flying through a black cloud, hinting at the themes of contrast and baggage.

You flap
A simplistic statement that could be interpreted as a command or perhaps an acknowledgement of action, suggesting movement and restlessness.

Eyes rolled back
A phrase that's often associated with pleasure or pain, painting the image of someone slipping into a state of delirium.

Medicine gave you a heart attack
A sad irony where the treatment is worse than the condition itself, describing a situation where a medicine meant to help has caused harm instead.

Big fight for a small right
A line that reflects the all-too-common struggle of fighting for basic rights and freedoms that should be granted by default.

First flight
A metaphorical line representing the start of something new, the first step in a journey.

Into white light
Describing the journey as a bright one, where everything ahead seems pure and innocent, albeit with a hint of mystery and uncertainty.

Pull the trigger love at first bite
An obscure line with multiple layers of meaning. It could mean taking action on impulse or getting swept away by emotions and desire.

Big plan for a big man
Referring to someone with a clear vision and goals, someone who is driven and determined to achieve something big.

Tough change
The idea of change generally poses difficulties and challenges, as it requires us to move away from our comfort zones and can sometimes be painful.

For a tough guy
The person being referred to here is someone strong and resilient, someone who can handle things that others can't. But even they can feel the weight of change.

Twitchin out the corner of your eye
A line that could suggest paranoia or unease, as if someone is always watching and waiting to pounce on you.

Rain comin down
Returning to the imagery of clouds and contrast, the rain brings with it a sense of sadness or melancholy.

Thinkin 'hey maybe we should turn this boat around'
A line that showcases someone's doubt or hesitance, suggesting that they may not want to continue down the path they're on.

Heaven maybe freedom
A juxtaposition of two things that are usually considered to be at odds with each other. Can heaven truly exist if we're trapped and shackled?

Whats the word
A question posed, perhaps in frustration or confusion, as if searching for an answer to a question that's been evading you for some time.

Right i forgot
A humorous reply that acknowledges the silliness of the previous question. It's a reminder that sometimes there is no answer, or that we don't always have to have one.

Quiet is the closest thing we got
The final line of the song, suggesting that sometimes the answer or solution is simply to be still, to listen and observe. Quietness is a form of freedom and escape from the noise and chaos of the world.
