Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa with a nigga like me
Whoa with a nigga like me
She said please
Mercy me
Mercy me
Let me fall out of love
Before you fuck her
Before you fuck her

She begged me
She gave me all of her pills
Now my back hurts
Oh she lost control

Now she pleading
She on the floor
She on the floor
Baby got her pleading
She on the floor
She on the floor
She said it won't be long
Before she falls out of love
It won't be long
Before she falls out of love

Sandpaper kisses, paper cut bliss
Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this
You're gonna leave her
You have deceived her
Oh just a girl

Just a bird
I tried to kiss you
But you never let me miss you
But you never let me miss you
I thought I told you

Nigga what you did
Nobody forced your hand
And don't you fall for a nigga like me
I begged, I begged

Now you're pleading
She on the floor

She said it won't be long
Before she falls out of love
It won't be long

Sandpaper kisses, paper cut bliss
Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this
You're gonna leave (if she only knew) her
You have deceived her
Just a girl (just a bird)
Just a girl (just a bird)
Just a girl (just a bird)

Just a girl (just a bird)
Just a girl (just a bird)

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's "The Birds Part 2" features a narrative that delves into the darker side of love and its consequences. The song is told from the perspective of a male character who is not faithful to his partner, with the main narrative thread being the guilt and remorse that comes with infidelity. The repeated lines "Whoa with a nigga like me" and "Before you fuck her" underscore the male character's knowledge that he is a dangerous influence on those around him, and his awareness of the pain that comes from romantic betrayal.

The female character in the song is described as pleading and on the floor, demonstrating the singer's knowledge that his behavior is hurting her deeply. The references to medication emphasize the division in the relationship, with the singer taking pills that are 'hers', indicating that he is taking them without her knowledge, and with the effect of creating a physical distance between the two. The final lines, "Just a girl (just a bird)" serve to underscore the singer's own detachment from his actions and from the emotional consequences of his behavior.
