What I feel like doing now? I wish I could leave Kuching. I wish I could fly to whatever places. As if not to stay in Kuching. It's tired being in this place. Nothing to do, no place to go, no delicious food. I will try my best to earn money and leave this place after SPM. That's what I wish to do now.

I wish I could go any one of those places. Especially Singapore, Paris, London and Provence. I love Paris and Provence. They have pretty nice scenery. I love Egypt and Melaka too. A lots of antique there. Cant believe right? A 16year old teenager like antique. ;3 geeee~ I wish I could fly, fly a bird, enjoyably. But I cant, I was born as human since 16 years ago. No choice right? I wished to be a tree too. I love been standing under the trees or maybe reline under the trees. It's so enjoyable and comfortable. I am listening to Flightless Bird. Keep repeating. I like this song damn much. It's so sweet. I feel like kissin' my boyfriend when I'm listening this song (although I've no boyfriend). D:

In his youth, the narrator was daring & impetuous, a risk-taker who felt scrutinized by conventional society. When "the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair" means he finally had to confront responsibility & maturity. He responded by leaving home (or his past) with his "map," intent on seeking his soul mate or at least his destiny. This verse summarizes his journey from childhood to adulthood. (Our unconventional Edward is obviously seeking the soulmate he has never been able to find.)

Chorus:
He thinks he may have found his mate, but she is a "flightless bird," trapped by the conventions of the American status quo - which encourages you to swallow the "big pill"--the big pill being whatever you tell yourself day to day that keeps you stagnant or keeps you stuck in the mechanism of a conventional, materialistic society. The fact that the bird is "jealous, weeping" means she doesn't want to sell out to that life, but she doesn't know how to flee. (Bella, to remain human or not to remain human? She's definitely trapped because she chooses immortality but can't get it on her own.)

Verse 2:
(much trickier--would love some ideas on this one) The narrator finally settles down at some point ("fat house cat") but he hasn't sold out to the norm. He still courts danger ("poison rats")& is rebellious--"pissing on magazine photos" which represent our shallow human interests. Tossing the "fishing lures" (presumably the reason for his "sore blunt tongue") in the "Blood of Christ mountain stream" is either another form of rebellion (against religion) or a way to seek redemption for his sins. (I haven't worked this one out as well, but I like that scenario better as related to Twilight since Edward is seeking ultimate redemption from his soulless plight by loving a mortal and becoming her protector.)

Final Chorus:
She's more damaged now, more entrapped. Can he still save her? (As far as Twilight, this is a perfect tie-in to book two.)

It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my entire life. Though it seems the lyrics are strange or weird, I think it is quite the opposite. There is a big metaphor in every verse. Yes, I did not know about the song until I have seen the Twilight. I feel like reading the Twilight's story book. I cant wait to know what's going on next. And I really do enjoy listening this song. I hope there is a happy end for this movie.
