Two Birds Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar

[Chorus]
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand

[Verse 2]
Two birds on a wire
One says "C'mon" and the other says "I'm tired"
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobody's worried

[Chorus]
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand

[Verse 3]
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar

[Outro]
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other

This evokes so many different emotions on me

[ellahere]

This song feels like two people who has been through trauma, one of them is healing and trying to help the other, but the other person is still holding onto the trauma.

This song reminds me of my best friend who died in 2016. I absolutely loved her and she was like my sister from another mother, if you will. We helped each other during so many hard times. Once I was at home and she called me panicking, because the breaks on her dads car had been cut and they completely lost control of the car. The last words I heard from her was "I'll see you soon" before she and her dad died in the crash. I've never cried so hard in my life, and 5 years later I don't think I'll ever be able to forget that moment. I miss you a lot leila.

Such a beautiful song my daughter said this reminds her of her grandmother who passed away 3 weeks before she was born 😭🥹🤧

[alexchandler]

The lines, "I'll believe it all" and "There's nothing I won't understand" sound like responses to "you won't believe me if I tell you", and " You won't understand, " love this song ❤🎵

[nylamiller]

"The Loneliest people are the
Kindest. The saddest people smile
The brightest. The most damaged
People are the wisest. All because
they do not wish to see anyone else
suffer the way they do."
This quote is like this song.

[martinus]

It's incredible how many meanings this song can have. Friendships, relationships, depression...

I like to think that the birds are every single one of us, looking back in the past. We tend to look back at what we have lost and at the mistakes we made, instead of looking forward, thus failing to notice the opportunities moving away from us.

We tell ourselves we won't think about it anymore, we'll keep going, but we always end up in the deep thought, thinking what better we could have done. So while a part of us wants to move on, there will always be this one part of us that is static, inert.

"There's nothing I won't understand." I believe this to be our hindsight and the previous line to be our desperate willingness and desire to change our past.
"I won't let go of your hand." yet again, the aforementioned desperate desire to stop the unstoppable wave of bad conscience.

I'll be a better partner, just please come back to me.
I'll be a better friend, so please don't leave me.
I'll be a better person, so please just make everything good again.

The meaning of the song may or may not be negative(it really depends on the point of view), but the song is beautiful anyway.

My Grandma passed away from Cancer when I was really young. Me and her were really close and every time I think of her I blame myself. This song does make me think of her. But in some ways this song make me happy and sad at the same time. For the 1% reading this just know, don't blame yourself over things you cant control.

[YongEditz]

this song gives 3 emotions

- sad nostalgia
- happy nostalgia
- larry the bird nostalgia

[Bruh-bdvt]

"Two birds on a wire one tries to fly away" hits hard 😕

[PrttyinPunk]

this song makes me cry because it made me realize i’m the bird who will never let go of that wire. while my loved ones move on and continue their lives, i’m the bird that always says, “i’m tired.”

[MasterChief_XL]

This song reminds me of how sad people can be, so lets try to comfort them as much as they can. because they wont be on this planet....if they decide

[mamaduck]

This reminds me of my twin sister and I, we used to be so close growing up, we shared pretty much everything from our clothes, room, toys, etc. We promised that when we got a little older that we would get an apartment and never leave each others time but once we hit highschool it seems she wants a life without me and I don't really blame her but it just kinda hurts because she wants to let go and I don't want her to leave me just yet. Im scared to be alone.

[sphrsn]

For me this song is about two friends. One grows, develops, learns something new, "tries to fly away". And another one doesn't want to change to the better, "stays" on that wire and doesn't want to leave the past and meet the future.

[Phorex]

The worst feeling is being forgotten by people you could never forget. Thats what this song makes me feel.

[NotxJay-eq]

Seeing all the positive comments while hearing the song, just warms my heart....💞

[galaxymilkyway]

This song hits hard
reminds me of those 2 birds on a wire where one tries to fly but exploded into oblivion and the other screams :(

[lamaaltayeb]

A message to the future generations
Dont let this song die

[idontknowhowtochangemyusername]

This reminds me of my grandmother, it's been a year since her passing. She loved birds. I believe she's watching me even now. Especially when the song says "There is nothing I won't understand" she always listened, had great advice and loved me. This song actually helped me grieve for her.

Just two years ago and I didn't understand this song. Now I understand the song completely. Perfectly.
