The Ceiling
Wild Feathers Lyrics

Wood burning up on the hill
A fire is burning on the nearby hill

Seen a drawer full of pills
The singer has observed a drawer filled with medicine

And it's quiet like snow through the trees
The area is very quiet and peaceful, similar to the way it feels when it snows gracefully through the trees

Well I did what I did and I didn't mean anything
The artist acknowledges that they took an action, but it was not done with malicious intent

Where you come from and where you go
Asking someone where they came from and where they're headed

Who you talk to and who you know
Asking someone about their social circle and acquaintances

And you're lying in fields of green
It seems like the person is resting in a green, natural field

The sun rise, the drive, the morning
A description of early morning events, including driving as the sun rises

The smoke stacks, the bold hats, still learning
The artist describes seeing chimneys and hats, and admits they're still discovering new things

And I don't know how I got this far down with the ceiling
They're unsure how they ended up in their current situation

Oh, her eyes are wide open right out of her head
A woman's eyes are very wide and expressive

Yeah, she's clear of a crown that she cut down for me
A woman has removed a symbolic crown or status from herself and offered it to the artist

Well, I did what I did and I'd do it all over again
The singer would repeat their actions, despite any consequences or regrets

We, we should be easy
The singer suggests that things should be simpler and less complicated between people

Sometime, oh yeah / A little bit sometime.
There is an implication that things might improve, but only to a small extent and at some vague point in the future
