Atmosphere - Bird sings why the caged i know

It's the bird, it must have been the bird
Disgusting critter, it must
We should have known better then to trust
This disease infested ball of lust and carnage
Piece of garbage with wings and she has the guts to sing
Get the bird, catch her shoot her, I dont care
Get the bird, bring her down to the ground from out the air
Gotta tear her apart, let me at her first
Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inherit the earth

What's she thinking? does she really believe
That shes above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets
See her up in the tree, looking down at you and me
Like she's chosen over those who walk around on two feet
The bird, the melodys she play
The music she make, rubbing our faces in the feces of the daybreak
Trying to remind us, its time to awake
Antaganizing and instigating my hate
The chirps, I turn them into screams
My feathered friends end will justity the means
Disturbed, I'll grab her by her beak
And swing her in circles untill she's too dizzy to speak

Well I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?
I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?

My beautiful bird has gone away [x12]

Who's screaming in the backround?

[koertwig]

@weirdwoogie P.O.S.

[idkwhat2puthere]

its about letting a bird (girl) you love go, because she wants to be free. at first you do it because you want her to be happy, but the second you see her flying in the air (enjoying life without you), you feel angry, jealous, confused. you say you hate her and you constantly speak the worst of her, but in the end you still love her. you miss her and want her back. (my beautiful bird has gone away)

the intro voice is cool... she has a nice english accent

...Plus, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is a famous autobiography about struggling to overcome racism and rape by Maya Angelou.

this just makes me think about my future situation with my girl, she is always mean

[lifesaDORAble]

Why would you people think you could get into Slug's head just by YouTube. You people have no clue. We can make guesses, but make it into your own. Take this song and make it your own personal meaning.

@idkwhat2puthere

You got it, but the bird can be replaced by whatever you want. The song could also be about people who are not yet freed (like the caged bird which has been freed).

@barxcodedxloser well.. atmosphere isnt a rapper, but nonetheless yes, slug is the greatest emcee

[Pancake0fDoom]

@barxcodedxloser Correction. Slug is the best rapper of all time. Ant doesn't rap. And Spawn left atmosphere after OverCast.
