Birds
Audrey Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me wings
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
They won't know where to find me
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 ...

Overall Meaning

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.


Line by Line Meaning

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

Aqui tienes!

Give me wings
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
they won’t know where to find me.

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

Wash your claws in my blood Justice does as it should
