Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine

Twilight soundtrack 裡找到這首歌.

Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine (Click here to watch video)

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

各位知道歌詞的意思嗎?
同一首歌, 每個人的體會都不同,
這也是吸引人感動人的地方.
歌詞, 就是要能讓人有想像空間,
講得太白就沒意思了.

有些人覺得 "Twilight ruins this song"
有些人覺得歌詞 "means nothing"
有些人覺得這首歌是關於Bush(!).
有些人覺得是關於true love或lost love.
各有各的理解方式, 多好.
