Electric Bird
Sia Lyrics

Someone plugged you in
You have been trapped in a system that someone else created.

And sadly they clipped your wings
You have been deprived of your freedom to move beyond the limitations imposed upon you.

Now you can't fly away electric bird
You feel trapped and unable to escape the hardships you face.

Yeah someone took your tweet
You were robbed of your ability to express yourself freely and honestly.

One day they fed you that bad seed
Someone planted toxic ideas in your head, which have had a negative impact on you.

You can't fly away electric bird
Despite wanting to break free, you feel constrained and captive to your current situation.

Well you're art, you fell into this part
You are a creative individual who has been cast in a role that doesn't afford you the opportunity to flex your creative muscles.

You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
You have difficulty coping with your current situation and feel like you're always under attack.

You used to be so smart
You were once confident and clever, but something has come along to sap your energy and intelligence.

You fluttered round the yard making your magic
You were once a source of beauty, enchantment, and joy in the world.

Got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit
In order to reclaim your power and freedom, you must shed the illusions that have been holding you back.

So now this rooms all staged
You feel like you're living in a constructed, artificial environment that doesn't allow for authentic expression.

While you're stuck there in that cage
You feel trapped and lacking in the freedom to move and grow beyond your current circumstances.

You can't fly away electric bird
Despite your yearning to escape and look to new horizons, you feel constrained by your present limitations.
