Birds
Chef'Special Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish people would stop yelling and start listening
I wish birds would start talking and stop whisteling
Cause they know things that I don't know
Seven of them sitting on that wall
Staring at a lost soul and fly away
Too close to the window
I'm looking for some info
Can I trust Google Maps' photographs
What's flying like, are you free above
Is it really that worth, dreaming of
Or does that to get old like making love and alcohol
Or that track you wrote that made them all dance on the dancingfloor
But the dancing flow ends at four
When the dancing people have to go
And there is nothing left for you to role, than home
Sun don't shine at night
Oh no, it don't
If only you would just open your eyes
I know i'm not alone
Is it alright if all these words don't mean nothing at all.
I wish I was from a broken home
To explain the fact that i'm cold and alone
But my family is golden so it's probably just my own fault again
I wish those seven birds came back
And told me why the earth is wack
Cause it ain't sync what we deserve and get
Or do you think we should work on that
Sunday evening, monday is eager to kill me like he did last week
I'm not the guy you think you need
I wish that you start missing me
And start distinguishing you and I
But we are the same and you're in my mind
But rain replaces snow and that's just pretty fucking lame
The sun don't shine at night
Oh no, it don't
If only you would just open your eyes




I know i'm not alone
Is it alright, if all these words don't mean nothing at all.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Birds" by Chef'Special, the lyrics portray a sense of longing for connection and understanding. The singer wishes for people to stop yelling and start listening, and for birds to stop whistling and start talking, as they possess knowledge that humans do not. The "seven birds" serve as a symbol for the mysterious and unattainable knowledge that the singer desires.


The lyrics also touch on themes of disillusionment and disappointment. The singer questions the worth of pursuing dreams, wondering if they will ultimately end up like the fleeting pleasures of alcohol or a night of dancing. The sun, a symbol of hope and warmth, is also shown as absent at night, emphasizing the feelings of loneliness and isolation.


The line "I wish I was from a broken home" is particularly poignant, as it suggests a desire for an explanation for the singer's feelings of detachment and loneliness, even though they come from a "golden" family. It serves as a reminder that pain and struggles are not exclusive to those who come from difficult backgrounds.


Overall, the lyrics of "Birds" convey a sense of yearning for understanding and connection in a world that can often feel confusing and disjointed.
