Regina Spektor - Two Birds Lyrics

This reminds me of when I was little and my mother left me

My mom flew away
And I watched her close from that wire, and said I was happy for her, but I was lying

This song makes me think of Shuichi and Kokichi from Drv3. SAD VIBES IM STILL SAD AND MISS KOKICHI EVEN IF HE'S A LIAR.

when your teammate betrays you on town of salem

I can see this as a Percabeth AU thing.

The wire is the “bad”. The Tartarus, the depression and PTSD, the anger.

The flying away is getting better.

Percy wants to get better. He wants to talk and have fun and he wants to be happy with Annabeth. He wants to learn to fly away. But Annabeth’s not ready yet, so he doesn’t. And Annabeth wants to stay on the wire if it means not acknowledging the wire. She lives in denial and repression and gets angry (to cover up the hurt) whenever Percy even _mentions_ Tartarus. She snaps at him and yells and they fight and she just keeps ignoring it even as it boils. And at some point, it reaches its limit, and she breaks down and after a while, admits yeah. They should get better. Learn to fly away. Thing is, Percy doesn’t want to fly away anymore. It’s and been so long, too long, and he’s been bottling and suicidal and getting worse and eventually learned to just lie and say it’s fine when it’s not. And now he’s scared to say it’s not.

“Say that they’re always gonna stay together, but one’s, never gonna let go of that wire. Says that he will, but, he is a liar...”

The fact that this also have a 2010-2013 nostalgia

CHILDHOOD CHECK?

theory:





both of the birds were dead and onrs trying to go to heaven or whatever but one doesnt wanna go or somn





2nd theory:








they work for the bird cult

this certainly fucked up my recommedations

I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG SO MUCH-

stan uris and bill denbrough:(

god i love this song but it triggers my anxiety so much and i have no idea why

I know this isn’t as sad as the many other comments but I just needed to let this go;
There’s this girl, we’ve been talking since September 2019 and I absolutely adore her, I wouldn’t call it love just yet but I would like to. We have been flirting for a whole month but we haven’t become an official relationship. I know this is because she’s scared, all of the past relationships she’s had have all turned out horribly for her and I’ve been there to comfort her through her most recent one. I know we are close and i want her to be able to trust me to have a relationship with me. But if we did, it would be difficult as she lives 4 hours away, all I want is to just see her in the flesh, I wouldn’t say it’s love, not yet anyway...

To me this song is about an unhealthy friendship/relationship—one person is ready to grow and develop, the other holds them back. The one ready to grow prioritizes their friendship over their own personal development.
It’s heartbreaking to leave people we love behind, but sometimes it’s necessary. I hope the unfinished last lyric signifies the situation changing, and not the cycle repeating.

i think this song is about gay lovers and one is confident about his sexuality but the other one isnt (the one who dosnt want to let go of the wire) because he is scared of what will happen to him but the one who wants to let go of that wire isnt scared of what people will think of them as being gay


there, thats what i think

Imagine being that bird and this chick just writes an entire song about you being unsure and tired

You really gotta hype yourself to listen to this song

"One more, or one less, no one's worried"
I think it is two best friends here, they play together all the time, one bringing his sibling, but things don't change when he is\isnt there. Until he dies from causes unclear to me, one friend gets over his death eventually, but the other doesn't, which is why one bird flys while the other stays, they are still close friends, one helping the other through the loss until he can fly away too.
"I won't let go of your hand"
"He says that he will but he's just a liar"
He refuses to let go of his brother, says he does but refuses to accept he's dead until his friend gives up on him, leaving him to die alone. Watching his friend live a happy life through social media until he commits suicide from sadness and grief, the other friend grows depressed but breaks through like last time.
But hey, im bad at analyzing things so-

We all wasting time thinking of the deep meaning while we can just go with “two birds were sitting on a wire”

i say it's two crying eyes

First time I heard this for some reason I interpreted it as a couple where one of them is anxiously waiting for marriage. One bird wants to get married, have children and build a family, but the other bird is still uncertain and not so willing but insists they will follow through. Except they're lying because they're afraid of commitment.

I guess you could say that he was just a lyrebird.

Cant believe this song is 10 years old now

Sometimes I wish songwriters would actually tell us the true meaning behind songs they made

Two people. Friends, maybe more. They've spent their entire life together, and trust each other more than anything.
The first person receives a message, an opportunity they'll never get again. It will change their life, absolutely for the better, but they'll have to leave the second person behind.
The second tries to be happy for their friend, they really do. But the fact is, they don't want them to leave. They don't know what they'll do without them.
Try as they might, they can't find a way to tell their friend they want them to stay. And then it's too late.
One flies away.

This song is amazing TvT
It makes me think of the time when in elementary school i had a best friend,
we always stood up for eachother but then one day he just stopped talking to me, he was my only friend so up until fith grade when i moved i hade no friends in elementary school, i would still help him from bullies but i wasnt helpped and i was alone. If ur still out there then hello and goodbye ol' friend, how are you?

Old songs = Relaxing and heart touching
Newest songs these years = Depressing and full of curse words

I feel like I'm that bird stuck on the wire. For me, it's sort of like I can't seem to be happy. All my friends are happy, wanting me to be free and come with them, but it's like I'm stuck on the wire. "One says c'mon and the other says I'm tired." that's funny ish to me because I am always telling people that I'm ok just tired. Always tired actually lol.

I know that a lot of people are relating this song back to breakups and stuff, but to me it feels more like a story about a fear of commitment. We have two birds, two romantic partners, who both plan on flying away from the wire that they are on. The action of leaving the wire behind might symbolize something such as getting married or starting a family. One of the two birds is very excited to take off and explore along with the other bird and dive right into this new adventure, but even though the other bird tells its partner that it feels the same way, it is a blatant lie. It constantly makes excuses in order to delay whatever it is so afraid of. In the end, it seems as if its fear of moving forwards has left it all alone while everyone else in its life moves forward.

currently learning this amazing song on da uke

well since everyone is sharing their stories, might as well share mine!


i dated a boy, maybe early summer, we were head over heels for each other! we had met online but it counted as a real relationship, as we had face timed many times yet
i thought i knew him, you know? i believed every word he said, how he loved me. and one day he dropped a bombshell on me, the day of my birthday, my boyfriend was poly. of course i was fine with it! but when i said "oh thats okay, i'm fine with that!" he never told me he had found someone else, i found out myself. and then july 4, 11pm, he broke it off with me. I was ***heartbroken*** i couldnt- i wouldnt get over him. i didnt see him for a while, until i did, and what i found out just poked more holes in my heart. My boyfriend, ex boyfriend, had lied, about everything. from out first conversation to our last (before the breakup). and recently he messaged me on discord- which i found odd since he still had my number. but he still lied, and i found out quickly. i just cut him off, havent spoken to him since.


this song really reminds me of our relationship, and i'm very glad i havent seen him ever since. and if he's reading this? hah, fuck you.

You have two birds inside you.
One says "Come on." The other one says "I'm tired."
You are on a wire.

im sorry but. am i the only person here getting major stenbrough vibes from this song?

This made me feel a emotion that I’ve never felt before

This song reminds me me and my old best friend...he was the friend I could ever ask for...but he lives in other place....I miss him soo badly....hope he still remembers me...

My headphones gave out. So now I have to play this out loud if I want to finish it.

My boyfriend just broke up with me yesterday and I’m absolutely heartbroken about it I was for sure he was my soulmate and I still am I won’t give up he said he needed time so I’m giving him time but I won’t ever leave his side

ANGIE IT WILL BE OKAY

I thought this song was like 3 years old but it’s actually 10 Jesus Christ

This is how it is with me and my bby he is never allowed to leave the house and doesn’t have a phone he occasionally pms me on insta and I see him at school but his home life is shit he lives in my ducking neighborhood and he hasn’t left once we never get to date or hang we where friends since 6th and he just asked me out In 7th he means everything to him and I think his parents are abusive he showed this song to me some time in 5 and this reminds me of him now I just have to wait a couple years and he can live with me and everything will be better

Damn, how am I only hearing this now?

I see this like 2 people who have been friends for a while become really close. Inseparable. They see each other everyday, no one understands them like they understand each other. They start to catch feelings for each other, person A is ready for a relationship but person B isn’t because of past relationships. “One try’s to fly away from the other” is person A trying stepping out of the comfort zone hopping person B will follow them. Person A trying to convince person B is the part where it says “one says come on and the other says it tired.” Person B has trust issues. Person A try’s to get them to step out of their comfort zone, “I’ll believe it all. There’s nothing I won’t understand... I won’t let go of your hand.” but person B won’t budge. The wire is the comfort zone and the bird flying away is person A, they are trying to get person B to come with them and step out of their comfort zone and start a relationship. Person B says that eventually they will get out of their comfort zone but they know deep down inside they won’t, “Ones never going to let go of that wire, he says that he will but he’s just a liar.”
And “the sky’s overcast and I’m sorry.” Is person B saying that it still looks scary to them and they’re still confused and sad. Eventually, Person B releases that person A has lost interest and they just lost the love of their life because they were to scared to open up, “two birds on a wire.. One try’s to fly away and the other...” Person A “flew away” and stepped out of the comfort zone with someone else meaning person A found fell in love with someone else who was ready to be in a relationship.

edit: i wrote this while i was feeling edgy so like. uhhhh. sorry, i swear i’m not just an edgy freak, i’m actually really happy—

the one bird leaves reluctantly, but its not a decision i would call the wrong one. it was the best one. not long after, the wire short circuits. wire bird dies.

the other bird who left lives a happier life, free from a wire. they find success that they never would have on that wire, and while they mourn the death of their friend, they know that they must move on and that it isn’t their fault. the dead bird gave them many good things, but staying on that wire was death, even if neither of them realized it at the time.

my lesson is to not hide in your misery and to take chances, but feel free to interpret this any other way :)

WhEre is tHe lYRic pERSon

who made the song? pis tell me

Do you know how to read bro?

i loved it so much i love music so much

Hi, warning! This is sad.
I've had a crush in my best friend for years now, shes always said that she wasnt ready for a relationship. Well, as soon as she was, this other girl started dating her, before I could muster up the courage to risk everything. It's been almost 2 years now, they're still happily dating, my best friend has strayed from me, always hanging out with her girlfriend, no matter how many times I ask her to hang out with me, shes always busy. Now I am laying on my death bed, unable to even tell her of my feelings I have still because shes so happy with her girlfriend that I wouldn't want to ruin that for her. I might not be alive much longer, but that's okay. Not everybody gets the girl.

A girl isn't the epitome of happiness. It's a small part of life. Valuable but still small. Don't forget that.

HEY GUYS CAN YOU HELP ME
There's a type of music that I'm very interested in. This is one of the songs from the genre. For some background, some other songs are Boats and Birds by Gregory And The Hawk. Its bugging me so much and I just want to find the genre so I can live its magic. Thanks a bunch! ❤

This song made me realize who I really love🥺

I’m the liar.... I lie I’m sick, lie I’m hurt, lie about my life..... I’m not with another bird even.... I’m lonely, why? I do not know..

Ok boomer

This song kind of reminds me of my mom and stepmom, (I had 2 moms, they were married) and what happened when my mom relapsed. I'm the one saying that I understand everything and that everything's gonna be alright, because that's exactly what I was doing at the time, comforting my mom although I was only 8. And then she abused my stepmom, and tried to get better, but didn't so she just flew away, and my stepmom stayed where she was.

I think that the song is about a person who either:

1. Did a mistake that they regreted for the rest of their life.

Or

2. Lost a loved one to death.

Either way, the person is conflicted on whether or not to let that part of their life go because of the guilt that had been eating away at them for years.

And finally, they learn to make peace with themselves.

I don't know, this was just my take on it.

Edit: Okay, after reading this again, I feel like this was a little under explained. So here I am again.

The lyrics "One tries to fly away" symbolises the person trying to let go of their guilt. And the lyrics "He says that he will but he is a liar" says that even though that person's hardest efforts to let go, they still couldn't bring themselves to.

"I won't let go of your hand' symbolizes that they're still holding on to that one mistake/person. They still haven't learned to let go.

And at the end of the song, the person hopefully makes peace with themselves.

This song symbolizes the guilt of the mistakes we all make.

no fam it is about two birds

@sleepy woods77 Lmao okay then

This s truely my favourite song.

Okay, my interpretation.

So there's two best friends. I'll name them Kasu and Shay.
Kasu is a happy and energetic guy, popular, and just having a great life. Then there's Shay, he's insecure, and mostly relies on his friendship with Kasu. They are childhood friends. I imagine them in a middle school or highschool era.

So the song starts off with them hanging out on a bench. In front of the bench there's this imaginary "line" that's the wire. Kasu gets up and wants to meet new people. "One tries to fly away" Shay stays on the bench, watching. "He says he wants to as well, but he's just a liar" Kasu sees Shay sitting on the bench and walks over to him, comforting him. "I'll believe it all. There's nothing I won't understand." Kasu eggs Shay to talk to him. Then when the chorus starts again it cuts to the two running. Shay runs out of energy while Kasu keeps running. He stops seeing Shay out of breath, hands on his knees while sweating. "One says come on! While the other says I'm tired." This dialogue happens between them. This running scene is them going to meet new people. Kasu is trying to get Shay to leave the wire. Shay stands back up and turns to the sky and then looks to the "line". He runs back to it, suddenly scared. "The skies overcast, and I'm sorry." The story shifts to their highschool years. (Transfer happens during "one more or one less, nobody's worried") He looks back to Kasu, who's talking to a group of people from the line. The have gotten distant at this point. And Shay has gained a small depression. He remembers back to when Kasu was comforting him. "I'll believe it all." Then it fades back to reality, he's reaching out towards Kasu from the wire. "I won't let go of your hand." During the instrumental Shay almost leaves the wire. After the most intense point he drops his hand. A picture frame lies on the ground, broken. Suddenly the photo flashes in front, in full detail. Them as kids. "Two birds of a feather." Then it shows them promising to each other. "Say, that they're always, gonna stay together." Shay is back at the wire. "But ones never going, to let go, of that wire." Then Kasu and Shay are suddenly talking again. Kasu asks Shay about how he's truly feeling, he lies. "He says that he will but he's just a liar." When the chorus gets intense, there's scenes of the two arguing intensely. Kasu gets mad and breaks off their friendship, leaving Shay in shock. Kasu leaves. "One tries to fly away" Shay just watched him. "And the other watches him close from that wire." He begins to break down. Then the scene changes to school. It spread that Kasu and Shay weren't friends anymore. Shay begins to get bullied. "He says that he will but he's just a liar." During the instrumental there are scenes of Shay getting pushed into lockers, beat up, etc. There's one day that Kasu even does it. Right before the lyrics start, there's a scene of Kasu walking past Shay. Kasu glares at him as Shay gives him a dead expression. He can't take it anymore. As the lyrics start, Kasu is exiting the school. The sun is set, it's late after the end of school. One of his buddies notice something and turn around in shock, causing Kasu to turn around. "Two birds on a wire, one tries to fly away...." The scene cuts to Shay, standing on the school roof. As the music cuts out you can hear the bustling of the city. He begins to jump.

"And the other......"

My story isn’t deep or anything: my crush has a girlfriend and is mad at me for some reason and it makes me sAD

i relate too hard with the bird who stays on the wire

I’m pretty sure this song is how two soulmates find each other and one wants to run away while the other has a good life. But the soulmate thats trying to run away stays with the other soulmate but then they get tired of them not coming with and decides to go without them. The other soulmate dies of heartbreak and the one trying to run away notices they’re mistake

somehow whenever i need comfort and don’t have anybody i always come back to this song, it’s somehow just so... calming

1:50

Just a time stamp for me, ignore it lol

Two birds, chilling on a wire, flying away cause they're not gay

I FCKING DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HATES ZANE!!! he is cool

I want to die. maybe not now, I don't know when. all I know is i'm tired

This reminds me off stanley uris ♡

Here's my life story...








Nothing. I'm literally just here because of my smol bean Stanley uris ok? Leave me be

I'm like the bird who won't let go of the wire, I'm very insecure which makes it hard for me to anything with anyone, and my best friend, is the other bird, confident, but understands me no matter what.

Hey imma just rant real quick sorry


My gf and I new each other for like 5 years before we got together and two months after we started dating she had to move so I finished that year of school fell into a depression and switched to homeschool so now we see each other about once or twice in the span of a two month period (keep in mind neither of us can drive) and I’m so worried that I’m too clingy and when we see each other more often she’ll start to realize clingy I am and leave me so I’m just breaking down for no reason and I love her so much but if I’m too clingy or possessive and if I’ve changed than she’ll start to hate me but I’m just so stressed and I try my best but I feel like it’s not enough and she never talks to me about how she feels so I can’t do anything and I’m just wishing I could fast forward in time until I have my license so I can go see my lovely little sweetheart but if she realizes how awful I am and how just completely weebish and I’m a freak and I’m not worth her love and if she starts hating me than all I can do is except that

all I can imagine to this song is the a girls child with her father though out the years, then she discovered her father have a incurable sickness and eventually died. and at the end was her walking down her father tombstone...

(yeah I can be quite edgy sometimes)

Okay here we go




I was a big slut. I stole my friends boyfriend's and the first time I fell in love. I broke up with him because of all the hate I got. I regret it. But I want him back. He was held back last year so he was in a different school. Now he's at my school this year.

We sometimes talk and we're becoming friends again. And that's how I want it to be.

Here's a little story that nobody asked for, honestly; please just scroll past 😂





I met this guy on the internet a couple of years ago. To say the least I adored him from the moment I met him till the crappy end. He was sweet, kind and was everything I ever wanted in a guy and to some degree I still love him to this day.
This was one of OUR songs and I'd sing it happily all day thinking about when I was going to meet him and all that lovey dovey shit.
It never happened
But I hope that one day it will happen despite living 3000 miles away from each other.
I want him to see this message and know that I wrote it for him,thinking of him.
Funnily enough, we started talking again recently and it's so nice to chat and recite the past together. I don't think I'll be able to tell him that whenever I listen to this song I remember everything about why I loved him so I'm putting it here.
Can't wait to meet you one day, Colin ☺️

One bird is trying to mature and get older faster, and the other is scared to grow up, the bird still wants to be little. 🐦 🐦

When I listen to this song I think of Boyf Riends...






Am I weird???

At least I’m not alone lol

i used to be best friends with a girl named skylin (profile name, its ava here)
we promised to conquer everything together. but at soon as i came out to her as bisexual, she hated me, called me weird, argued with me, and stuff. we were best friends. i dont know what to do anymore

The story of anyone who's had a friend / loved one who was either toxic or depressed or clingy to the point where it was taking a toll on their own mental health and they knew they couldn't change them even though they wanted so, so badly for them to heal...

Never stay tied to that wire, not even for someone you love. You have to grow and change and always become better and move up in life... even if they don't want to. You can't make another bird fly if they want to stay. Their destiny is theirs and yours is your own, so just open your wings and soar 🐦💙

This is so me and my brother.
He's a lazy cunt.

Plot twist-she's the one who can't leave the wire

are the recommendations on this video screwed up for anyone else or

have huge abandonment and trust issues. my brother is 18 now and is gonna leave our bad home situation.

I'm scared to be alone. We've been together and there for each other our whole life.

im a bear Hey, so I don’t know what your family situation is like, or anything about you besides the fact that you’re a bear 🐻. But even though I’m just a random stranger on the internet, I have faith in you and I hope you have a big support group that also has faith in you and can help you through your struggles.
It’s a big world with almost 8 billion people, there are always going to be people who care about you. You're not alone :))

@Semi Decent hi!!! thank you so much for your kind message. taking the time out of your day to tell me this is so sweet, and I appreciate it so much. I'll try and remember this when stuff happens or I feel down 💝 thank you again

im a bear You're very welcome! I'm glad I could offer any support in your current situation, and I hope your days to come are amazing!

eyy who's here from the Crit Role animatic tho?

I listen to this song when I’m sad ;-;

I'm here from
-a bnha animatic
-a bmc animatic
AND
-a deh animatic

I dunno why I’m crying but I just am 😞

i miss you. i hope i get to see you soon. there are so many things i haven’t told you yet. so many things i haven’t told anyone yet. so many things you deserve to know.

...I just came back here after years of not feeling pain... and this calms me down...😌 I feel much better

Both birds are referred to as "he" which means this song is gay and I'm here for it

everyone: dude this song isnt even sad what-
me, crying: *IM CRYING CAUSE I AM THE BIRD WHO WONT LEAVE THE DAMN WIRE*

You would think it's a song about birds but if you listen closely it's pretty deep when you think about it.




you guys may not agree with me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m seeing all these comments about love story’s and heartbreak s here’s mine

I had a girlfriend-who’s now transforming into a guy but I wouldn’t know- she was the best and my first same sex partner .We grew closer because she was in the middle of me and a friend I was fighting with. We dated throughout a little more than 5 months and as the summer grew closer we had become more open to everyone else,openly holding hand and crossing our legs. Well as the summer came she gradually stop talking to ME. And when I ask other friends we were close with they said she was still talking to them. So yeah that’s it she ghosted me and I still haven’t hear back but apparently she told her family she’s trans and I didn’t even know. But know I Now moved on and have a amazing group of friends

It's a dumb theory but sometimes i feel like this song is to do with one person and one bird is there mental health, holding them back etc

is dit van jouw the drawing

,,I always thought this was about a suicide pact haha

R.I.P Stanley uris
All the lovers and your birdie frens will miss you also bill said he loved you






Also I’m crying 😢:’(

This song is creepy as man my friend from oosh called Amanda loves this creepy song I don't get how

Korek fizikal.

Life is soup I am spoon with hole

this song makes me cry every time i listen to it. idk what it is. it’s just the perfect melody and especially at 3:00. i have no idea. i’m sobbing right now

I’ve been broken up with so many times and I’m still in love with all of them…even the toxic one…

When I’m in the car and listening to the song I always try to look for birds lol

Me when I listen to this song:
I'm not crying!
You're crying!
S-Shut up!

This is such a reddie song it actually hurts

Richie is the ambitious, adventurous one who’s ready to move forward and explore his sexuality that he’s repressed his entire life. Eddie is struggling with his identity, like in the book. The wire represents the shared trauma and childhood they had together, and Richie’s ready to move on and start a new. Eddie stays, continuing the cycle of abuse his mother ingrained into his mind, marrying Myra. In the end Richie loses him.
