Birds
Audrey Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a dove, I′ll fly away
The birds, they know too much
So I can't stay
Down
Down underground
Don′t mark my grave
I am hiding out
They know secrets I never told
Drag me to the city up right by the gates
Hang me up or stretch me out, burn me at stake
As you see I'm bleeding out, look in my eyes
Remember it′s a mirror and both our demise
I′ll take a vail
To hide my face
I'll run away
And hope, what they know
Will be erased
I′ll flee
Flee far from here
The desert is not welcoming
But birds will never find me there
Drag me to the city up right by the gates
Hang me up or stretch me out, burn me at stake
As you see I'm bleeding out, look in my eyes
Remember it′s a mirror and both our demise
Wash your claws in my blood
Justice does as it should
Drag me to the city ...
The first stanza of Audrey Morgan's song Birds portrays a desire for freedom and escape from a judgmental and prying society, which is symbolized by the birds. The singer wants to soar like a dove and leave behind all the secrets that the birds seem to know so well. By hiding underground, the singer is trying to erase any trace of themselves and their past. This may indicate a fear of judgment or persecution by society, which is why the singer wants to flee to the desert where the birds cannot find them. The lyrics suggest a sense of paranoia and mistrust towards the world, and a need to escape from it all.
In the second stanza, we see a darker and more violent side to the singer's desires. The lines "drag me to the city up right by the gates, hang me up or stretch me out, burn me at stake" suggest that the singer is willing to endure any physical violence as long as they can escape their current situation. The use of the metaphor "look in my eyes, remember it's a mirror and both our demise" suggests that the singer identifies with their oppressors and sees their own downfall in them. The final lines "wash your claws in my blood, justice does as it should" suggest a willingness to accept punishment and a belief in the harshness of the world's justice system.

Give me wings
Grant me the freedom to fly away
Like a dove, I'll fly away
I seek the same flight path as the peaceful dove
The birds, they know too much
The birds are wiser than us humans in some ways
So I can't stay
I must leave to escape secrets that they know
Down
Beneath the earth's surface
Down underground
Deep within the soil of the earth
Don't mark my grave
Do not leave any signs of my physical presence
They won't know where to find me
Those who seek me won't be able to locate me
I am hiding out
I have sought refuge in a concealed place
They know secrets I never told
My secrets may have been revealed to those I did not intend to share with
Drag me to the city up right by the gates
Take me to a place where justice is served, even if by force
Hang me up or stretch me out, burn me at stake
Punish me in any way that serves to prove or condemn my guilt
As you see I'm bleeding out, look in my eyes
I am paying with my life for the secrets I failed to keep
Remember it's a mirror and both our demise
You too will face the same justice and its consequences
I'll take a vail
I will disguise myself to avoid recognition
To hide my face
To cover up my identity
I'll run away
I will flee in order to escape the birds' knowledge
And hope, what they know
And I will pray that they will forget
Will be erased
That their wisdom will be removed, and I can start afresh
Flee far from here
Escape from this place where my secrets are known
The desert is not welcoming
Even the harsh desert seems less hostile than the birds' presence
But birds will never find me there
I can seek safety in the inhospitable desert from the birds' watchful eyes
Wash your claws in my blood
Take revenge for my misdeeds
Justice does as it should
Punishment for wrongdoing is just

Pássaros
Me dê asas
Como uma pomba, eu voarei para longe
Os pássaros, eles sabem demais
Então eu não posso ficar
Baixa
No subsolo
Não marque minha sepultura
Eles não saberão onde me encontrar
Eu estou me escondendo
Eles sabem segredos que eu nunca contei
Arraste-me para a cidade até os portões
Me desligue ou me estique, me queime em jogo
Como você vê, eu estou sangrando, olhe nos meus olhos
Lembre-se que é um espelho e tanto a nossa morte
Vou dar um véu
Para esconder meu rosto
Eu vou fugir
E espero, o que eles sabem
Será apagado
Vou fugir
Fuja longe daqui
O deserto não é acolhedor
Mas os pássaros nunca me encontrarão lá
Lave suas garras no meu sangue
A justiça faz o que deveria

I’ll take a vail
To hide my face,
I’ll run away and hope, what they know will be erased
I’ll flee, flee far from here
The desert is not welcoming but birds will never find me there
Wash your claws in my blood Justice does as it should
