Liam Starica - the birds

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Slow dancing with you in the courtyard
You feel a sharp pain in your arm
And I see the life taken from your eyes
As you drop to the floor
Bleeding out on the cement
And foaming at the mouth

{Pre-Chorus}
A timelapse of us
Replays in my head
Projected onto a white sheet
And suddenly I'm back
At the picnic in the grass
That you took me to
On our first date

{Chorus}
The birds are dropping dead
I can’t wrap my head around this
A virus made to spread
An army full of men
Was never supposed to break and bend

{Refrain}
Good luck, soldier
Rushing up a hill with rolling boulders
Get that chip off your shoulder

{Verse 2}
So, I take a step back
And look at evеryone else that
Attеnded that dance
And I'm the sole person left
My hands are shaky, my breath is taken
From seeing the black veins pop out of your head

{Pre-Chorus}
And then the guards storm the palace
Shouting, “Where is Alice?”
I scream, “I don’t know!”
As the tears form thunderclouds
Beneath my feet
I'm ready to leave

{Chorus}
The birds are dropping dead
I can’t wrap my head around this
A virus made to spread
An army full of men
Was never supposed to break and bend

{Outro}
“hello.. is anyone there?”

The meaning of the song

edit description

"The Birds" by Liam Starica is a haunting and emotional song that tells the story of a tragic event. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple slow dancing in a courtyard, only for one of them to suddenly collapse and die from a mysterious illness. The singer reminisces about happier times, like their first date at a picnic in the grass, before the devastating loss.

The chorus reflects on the sense of disbelief and confusion that comes with unexpected tragedy, comparing it to the inexplicable deaths of birds and the way a virus can spread uncontrollably. The refrain offers encouragement to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity.

As the song progresses, the singer grapples with the aftermath of the event, feeling isolated and overwhelmed by grief. The imagery of black veins popping out of a loved one's head adds to the sense of horror and despair.

The final moments of the song capture the feeling of being lost and alone, desperately reaching out for connection. Overall, "The Birds" is a poignant and introspective track that delves into themes of loss, resilience, and the fragility of life.
