Bird Mess
Belleruche Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't care, won't go nowhere
I'll stay home
And make a little mess

Two hearts colliding
Well it's doomed
You're gonna get yourself in a mess
Hopes and expectations leave you
Ever so confused
Go your way and I'll go mine
So we'll never ever have to cross

Once upon a time I'd say
Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Once upon a time I'd say
Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Well I won't listen
I won't even take your call
No I won't listen
I won't even take your calls

Don't care, won't go nowhere
I'll stay home
And make a little mess

Two hearts colliding
Well it's doomed
You're gonna get yourself in a mess
Hopes and expectations leave you
Ever so confused
Go your way and I'll go mine
And we'll never ever have to cross

Once upon a time I'd say
Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Once upon a time I'd say
Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Well I won't listen
I won't even take your call
No I won't listen
I won't even take your calls

Warm in my bed
Once upon a time I'd say
Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Once upon a time I'd say




Rest your feet and weary head
Close your eyes and make yourself warm in my bed

Overall Meaning

She warns that when two hearts collide, it's doomed, and that hopes and expectations can leave one feeling confused. The singer suggests that the best path is for each person to go their own way and never cross paths again, so as not to make a mess.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer will stay home and make a mess, but adds the image of two hearts colliding, which reinforces the idea that relationships can be messy and complicated. The second verse harkens back to a time when the singer would invite her former lover to rest their feet and weary head, and make themselves warm in her bed. However, the singer notes that she won't listen to this person or take their calls anymore.


The lyrics of "Bird Mess" suggest a certain resignation and acceptance of the way things have turned out. There is a hint of bitterness in the singer's voice, but mostly there is a sense of moving on and being content in one's own company.
