Birds
Death Grips Lyrics

I got tomorrow coming
The artist acknowledges their future and the events that will occur.

I got, got, I got
Repetition emphasizing the certainty of the events to come.

I got tomorrow coming in
The artist is aware of their future bearing down on them.

Birds
A possible metaphor for freedom.

Fuck you
The artist expresses their anger or annoyance.

I've got a bluebird
The artist possesses a symbol of peace, but it is in danger.

It might die
The bird's life is uncertain.

It got wetted
The bird's survival is threatened.

I stayed dry
The artist is unaffected by the bird's fate.

I'm not trying to use my mind
The artist believes in their intuition rather than logic.

I got that attitude at all times
The artist maintains their positive outlook despite challenges.

I got this attitude at all times
The artist maintains their positive outlook despite challenges.

I got a black cat
The artist possesses a symbol of bad luck, but it has potential.

It might live
The cat has a chance to survive.

It's got a black hat
The cat is associated with evil.

It goes big
The cat has potential to make an impact.

I had a bluebird, now it's dead
The bird, a symbol of peace, could not survive.

One bird, two birds, three birds, four
Counting birds as if they are disposable.

Five birds, six times life is war
The disposable nature of life and its suffering.

Fuck you think I fuck this for
The artist questions the motives of others and their own.

I got you now in my way
The artist confronts an obstacle.

I got right now between my legs
The artist is in control of their present situation.

I put right now between your legs
The artist manipulates the situation of another.

I got today shoveling graves
The artist is confronted with death today.

I got tomorrow turning in your grave
The artist confronts the inevitability of death in the future.

I got Jesus, he got saved
The artist invokes religion for assurance.

I got power, it's so cheap
The artist has power easily accessible to them.

Fuck this bird, bitch, drink this bleach
The artist expresses anger and suggests self-harm as a coping mechanism.

I got higher, I got fake
The artist is under the influence and struggling with authenticity.

Birds
A possible metaphor for freedom.

Fuck you
The artist expresses their anger or annoyance.
