![]() ![]() Well, that's all I've got for my own interpretation. I'll believe it all, I won't let go of your hand." Maybe he's saying he loves him, and will help it get through his fears, but he still wants to coax him to get out of his comfort zone. "I'll believe it all, there's nothing I won't understand. Going with the relationship, its perfectly reasonable to assume he is afraid of those who will judge their love. Going with the friendship one, maybe it's simple like being afraid to leave home, or maybe he doesn't want to lose his friend to the people they'll meet. Maybe he wants to travel somewhere with his best friend, or maybe they've been hiding their relationship and he finally wants tell the world. One of the men is brave and he wants to do something daring. The long version: Well, for starters, she uses terms that suggest they are both male in the relationship with the first verse. Whether they be in a relationship, or they're just good friends, I haven't a clue. In general: It's about two people, one being good at taking risks, and the other is very scared. In all honesty, this is probably going to be long, but here's my understand of the song: It's a hovering motion, between two worlds (the wire and the sky, the closet and the freedom of being able to acknowledge publicly how good it is to be with who you love.)Īlso. ![]() But before that happens, I like the image of one "trying to fly away", but still staying there at the wire. OR one says c'mon, as in it's not so scary out here you can come out - and the other is 'tired' of that conversation, not strong enough to make that move to label himself to the world as in a homosexual relationship.Īt the end, one abandons the relationship and flies away. One could be the man in the closet, as in c'mon stay here and understand how it's hard for me - the other is "tired" of being locked up (insert caged bird pun). The one line I think is ambiguous is "One says c'mon and the other says 'I'm tired'". I also like how, even though for the majority of the song, despite how in different verses the names of "one" and "the other" are reassigned to each of them- the listener know which one is being addressed. Right now it's stagnant and not going anywhere. The other will "believe it all", and keeps telling himself eventually that when the sky isn't overcast*** (when it's safe) they both can leave/ have their relationship move from where it has been sitting. The other understands how it's hard to do, and will continue to do so. ![]() One is in the closet, and the other is in the process of coming out. The song sounds so happy, but it's actually pretty sad- there's a population of people that don't seem to understand that it is HARD to be homosexual in America still in these times there's a perception that they gays are just happy go lucky people when it can be hard for their relationships to exist publicly or for them to be treated right when they are out***. Regina has been a vocal supporter of LGBT issues politically, but this is social look at some of the community's "issues". There's no conflict between them, but a difference in personalities and life goals that has grown apparent, and so these birds are stuck. The other is looking for adventure, and seems to believe that their "lying" friend still wants the same things as they do, which holds them back. Especially with its "One more or one less / Nobody's worried" attitude. I think the "lying" bird is one of those people. Some people are content staying where they are in life, never aspiring to be more. Old friends, the kind that are so close they're attached at the hip - practically inseperable, who planned to stay together go to the same schools, live close to one another, keep in touch. ![]() So, it could just be about a parent unable to let go of their child, or two friends becoming themselves, and so going seperate ways. That's what makes her songs so easy to relate to. Regina wrote it vague leaving it up to interpretation. It also might not be as negative as everyone's thinking. But I think it may not be about a couple or even a husband and wife. ![]()
