What is the meaning behind these lyrics?
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down
……………………………………
I heard the song recently in twilight, and fell in love with it,
what is the meaning behind the lyrics?
xx
The song is called
Flightless bird, American mouth by Iron & Wine.
Yes it is on the twilight soundtrack :’)
i really love it
xx
I love this song too! I think it means that he used to be really daring, and then lost the one he loved. Then he was nothing more then a fat house cat, and felt sorry for himself. He wants to find someone he lost, so he can be a “quick wet boy” again.
