The Bird
Atmosphere ft. heiruspecs & mr dibbs Lyrics

It's the Bird, It must have been the bird,
The bird is being blamed for something that went wrong, without any clear evidence.

Disgusting critter, it must- We should have known better to trust,
The bird is being rejected and hated for its appearance and behavior, despite not having caused any harm.

This disease infested ball of lust and carnage
The bird is being unjustly accused of being diseased and promiscuous, without any factual basis.

Piece of garbage with wings, and she has the guts to sing,
The bird is being insulted and belittled because of its physical features, and its singing is seen as an act of defiance.

Get the bird, Catch her, Shoot her, I don't care.
The bird is being threatened with violence, despite not having done anything wrong.

Get the bird! Bring her down to the ground from out the air,
The bird is being targeted and hunted, with the intention of causing it harm and proving its inferiority.

Got to tear her apart, Let me at her first,
The bird is being dehumanized and reduced to an object, with no regard for its life or well-being.

Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inhabit the earth!
The bird is being judged for its ability to fly and soar, and is being told to stay grounded and conform to societal norms.

What's she thinking? Does she really believe
The bird's thoughts and beliefs are being questioned and ridiculed, despite having no basis for such assumptions.

That she's above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets?
The bird is being accused of having a sense of superiority over other animals, based on nothing more than its ability to fly.

See her up in the tree looking down at you and me,
The bird's actions of perching on a tree and observing its surroundings are being wrongly interpreted as an act of condescension and mockery.

Like she's chosen over those that walk around on two feet,
The bird is being unjustly compared to humans, and is being accused of having a higher status or privilege.

The bird, The melody she play, The music she make,
The bird's singing and chirping are being acknowledged as a source of beauty and joy, despite the previous insults and threats.

Rubbing our faces in the feces of the day break,
The bird's natural behavior of chirping early in the morning is being seen as an act of defiance and annoyance, rather than a natural occurrence.

Tryin' to remind us it's time to awake,
The bird's chirping is being correctly interpreted as a sign of a new day starting, and a call to wake up and start the day.

Antagonizing and instigating my hate,
The bird's actions are being wrongly interpreted as intentionally causing hatred and anger, rather than just naturally existing in the world.

The chirps, I'll turn into screams,
The bird's chirping will be met with screams of anger and violence.

My feathered friends' end will justify the means,
The bird will be harmed and potentially killed, with the justification being that it caused annoyance and frustration.

Disturbed! I'll grab her by her beak,
The bird is being threatened with physical harm, due to it being seen as an annoyance and disturbance.

And swing her in circles till she's too dizzy to speak,
The bird will be painfully and violently swung around, potentially causing injury or death.

I'll shake her from her branch. Tear apart her nest,
The bird's natural environment will be destroyed, along with its nest and potentially its offspring.

Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast,
The bird's legs will be broken and its offspring will be cooked and eaten, again as a justification for perceived annoyance and frustration.

(She's a snake that can fly) She's just food for the fleas,
The bird is being wrongly compared to a snake and being belittled, despite not having actually caused any harm. It is also being seen as a food source for parasites.

She thinks she's better than me just because she's free?
The bird is being wrongly accused of having a sense of superiority, based on its ability to fly and its perceived freedom.

(my beautiful bird has gone away)
The singer is lamenting the loss of the bird that was previously being threatened and ridiculed.
