BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Billie Eilish, is one of
my favorite song.
This song talks about deep unwavering love, almost to the point of
obsession. The phrase "birds of a feather" comes from the expression
"birds of a featger flock together", meaning that people who are alike
tend to stick together.
I love this song because it captures that kind of love that feel both
comforting and terrifying at the same time.
There's something about the simplicity of thhe lyrics that hits really
deep. It's not flashy, it's not overly dramatic, it's just honest.
And musically? It's so delicate.
It also reminds me of the beauty in finding someone who just gets you.
The song is not just about being in love, it is about being seen, being
understood and wanting that closeness to last forever.
I want you to stay
'Til I'm in the grave
'Til I rot away, dead and buried
'Til I'm in the casket you carry
If you go, I'm going too, uh
'Cause it was always you, alright
And if I'm turnin' blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone
Can't change the weather, might not be forever
But if it's forever, it's even better
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
It might not be long, but baby, I
I'll love you 'til the day that I die
'Til the day that I die
'Til the light leaves my eyes
'Til the day that I die
I want you to see, hm
How you look to me, hm
You wouldn't believe if I told ya
You would keep the compliments I throw ya
But you're so full of shit, uh
Tell me it's a bit, no
Say you don't see it, your mind's polluted
Say you wanna quit, don't be stupid
And I don't know what I'm cryin' for
I don't think I could love you more
Might not be long, but baby, I
Don't wanna say goodbye
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that
I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my
eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised
