Sia - Electric Bird Lyrics






Someone plugged you in
And sadly they clipped your wings
You can't fly away electric bird
Yeah someone took your tweet
When they fed you that bad seed
You can't fly away electric bird

Well you're art, you fell into this part
You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
You used to be so smart
You fluttered round the yard making your magic

Got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit
You can't fly away electric bird
So now this rooms all staged
While you're stuck there in that cage
You can't fly away electric bird

Well you're art, you fell into this part
You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
You used to be so smart
You fluttered round the yard making your magic

Well you're art, you fell into this part
You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
You used to be so smart
You fluttered round the yard making your magic

    Anyone in 2019?

  2. A.... G....

    ba ba bam

  3. M.... G....

    sia t'es simplement la meilleur tu chante comme si c'est juste pour moi tu chante exactement ce que je ressens. je t'aime

  4. D.... ....

    Takes me back to working at Shopko back in 2009 when they used to play this all the time.

  5. A.... :....

    😭😭😭 this the most beautiful song in the world thank you sia for being in my life sence I was 2.

  6. V.... M....

    I love when sia,s singing

  7. A.... K....

    Wow, just wow again, this is a musical masterpiece, just imagine this song with an 500 people symphonic orchestra with strings, drums, trumpets! And the self-critical, very deep text, OMG, we just need time to discovering how grandiose Sia is really! She is the Beethoven of our time, if not strange this comparison with a deaf, 19th century german man with a young, australian lady, the deepness of their music are same, full with emotions and honesty, and brilliant expressivity...

  8. G.... ....

    Amazing Sia I love u

  9. S.... E....

    2018 ? :v

  10. E.... G....

    If you change the someone at the very beginning, you can make sense of the rest of the song. Two possible options are 'society', 'drugs', or an abusive partner in a toxic relationship, because in the second verse, she says that 'got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit', and proceeds again with 'you cant fly away'. If one realizes is in a situation like that and still can't run or fly away, it means one's trapped, which doesn't makes sense in other context, like internet.

  11. S.... O....

    It's her best song

  12. c.... 1....

    ¡Menuda Obra de ARTE!. No tengo palabras...

  13. B.... F....

    me da mucha pena que esta cancion no tenga popularidad , es arte <3 :,)

  14. m.... g....

    this song is my girlfriend

    m.... g....

    Sia is my girlfriend❤😂

  15. X.... M....

    This is probably her most unique and fun songs when no one knew her.

  16. m.... ....

    Sia's songs is a complete branch of art

  17. J.... F....

    +J F electric; meaning the only way you get power is that you have to depend on a separate source of constant power to live your life.. . (in other words a drug habit or an abusive relationship.)in order for you to fly and be successful and happy, you really have to rely on this main source which sucks, because that is what all you have learned with these situations. and you become so attached and dependant, which eventually changes you drastically... So you end up re-thinking your life, but deep down inside you really are gifted and special which eventually will set you free like 'A Bird Set Free' - pun intended.

    J.... F....

    Wow I love u

  18. L.... M....

    Eu amo muito essa música vey😞❤

  19. D.... ....

    I love this song, her voice, the amazing instrumental and the lyrics but what does she mean? Is she talking about a real bird?

    This song should have had a video. It's so good 👍👍

  21. W.... W....

    Wow! That voice! Awesome

  22. B.... ....

    such a fun album

  23. V.... B....

    Que música é essa?! Eu flutuo

  24. B.... E....

    Perfect song

  25. H.... ....

    The little twang in her voice at 1:01 makes my heart flutter

    H.... ....

    Me too!

  26. p.... c....

    Is this song about Twitter?

    p.... c....

    Please tell me this is a joke

    p.... c....

    rio deloose hahaha

    p.... c....

    FYI Electric Bird was released in 2004. Twitter launched 2006.

    p.... c....

    Hmm,that's the people who don't understand sia

  27. J.... M....

    Omg Chills! Especcially at the chorus.

  28. S.... ....

    I use to hear this song 7years ago when I worked at a grocery store about 3times that I worked and I always asked everybody what it was. just heard it yesterday since at younkers and got it with my phone.

  29. s.... ....

    Personally, I think this song is about society and how it built someone up, but then it clipped their wings and diminished them. The chorus mentions "Well, you're art", meaning that even though society has created a negative reputation for the victim, the other person in the situation thinks the victim is still amazing.

    Jey Furler AK, yeah, and that attachement you mention refered in "someone plugged you in": an electrical machine can't really fly while connected to the power grid.

    s.... ....

    This is perfect. That's what I thought

    s.... ....

    Seeing how critical Sia has always been of celebrity culture, I wouldn't be surprised if this was specifically about artists who get famous through TV/the Internet/whatever only to have all of their creative freedom taken away from them by big corporations and their fans' expectations.

    s.... ....

    This song is about how the music industry is causing the decline of REAL music by clipping the wings of artist and trying to make them sound like someone else just to make money.

    I LOVE THIS SONG VERY MUCHH

  31. E.... ....

    Essa música é boa demais rapaz <3 Sou apaixonada!

    E.... ....

    Eu também. E sempre que encontro alguém falante PT em vídeos da Sia fico contente, ainda mais se for BR.

    Someone plugged you in
    And sadly they clipped your wings
    you can't fly away electric bird
    Yeah someone took your tweet
    One day fed you that bad seed
    You can't fly away electric bird

    Well you're art, you fell into this part
    You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
    You used to be so smart
    You fluttered round the yard making your magic

    Got to set you free, you were blinded by deceit
    You can't fly away electric bird
    So now this rooms all staged
    While you're stuck there in that cage
    You can't fly away electric bird

    Well you're art, you fell into this part
    You play the victim perfectly holding your beating heart
    You used to be so smart
    You fluttered round the yard making your magic

    A.... N....

    +ALLY Nation lmfao those are wrong

    A.... N....

    +meme galore I don't think they are. Where exactly do you find an error?

    A.... N....

    "One day fed you that bad seed" is actually "When they fed you that bad seed"
    "So now this rooms all staged" is actually "so now this room's your stage"

    Bird set free reference

    J.... ....

    I know this was way before Bird Set Free but I'm just pointing out the reference. I guess I could have worded it differently

    J.... ....

    +Jahnia ELECTRIC BIRD WINS ALL!!!

    J.... ....

    @ColossalCake Zack Mate, did u even listen to the song to hear the reference in there? I know they're about different things, I'm just stating that I heard a reference is all. Stop being a hater about something that doesn't really affect your life.., AT ALL. Just get over it, skip my comment an move the fuck on.

    J.... ....

    Well, there are a few references in 'Bird Set Free' to this song

    J.... ....

    theyre not about different things at all.. maybe about a different stage in the situation, but the same situation nonetheless

  39. y.... i....

    i just realized this song might be about emotional/physical abuse between lovers???? its my speculation anyway

    y.... i....

    +something good that must be it :)

    y.... i....

    I though it was about internet addiction.

  40. I.... E....

    When I was around 7 my mom always played sia songs in the car. And this is one of the best ones! Sia was my childhood. And actually still is! Who knew a 12 year old girl could be so obsessed!

    I.... E....

    u are very lucky

    I.... E....

    What a great mom

    I.... E....

    Best mom in the world ahah❤our queenSia the best sweetiepie🎀forever

  41. D.... ....

    I listen to this song almost every day, because it's really beautiful, though sad and lirycs makes sense.

  42. f.... f....

    I love you Sia,U the Best😭😭😭

  43. I.... D....

    I love u sia

  44. s.... L....

    I loooveee ittt *droll

  45. D.... ....

    Omg I LOVE this song! I'm not listeningt to the song, I'm living the song! <3

  46. D.... M....

    Loved it when it was first introduced relove it again! I am inspired so much by Sia ' s lyrics and love her voice. I lost this cd so thanks for posting it. =)

  47. A.... U....

    Brilliant piece of art, this song is WOW!

    A.... U....

    Exactly, this is a musical masterpiece, just imagine with an 500 people symphonic orchestra with strings, drums, trumpets! And the self-critical, very deep text, OMG, we just need time to discovering how grandiose Sia is really!

  48. b.... b....

    i'm trying to do one set list of sia... but come on sia... i can't put all your songs... do you have some bad song???... please... you can't be so perfect... you make me feel the music... really feel...

    b.... b....

    RayPosSiable yes, but the good songs of the album are all iconic

    b.... b....

    @LittleMissReborn I dont think anyone likes that song

    b.... b....

    Just pleaee, imagine this music with an 500 people symphonic orchestra, with strings, drums, trumpets! This is a powerful composed masterpiece, with an also perfect, self-critical text! Hearing this I have no doubt Sia is the Number One artist in the 21th century, an it will be eternal as Beethoven or Brahms....

    b.... b....

    The one song by Sia that I don't much like is Puppies Are Forever. Love the sentiment; the song, not so much. But that covers I think seven CDs by Sia; she's over 99% perfect.

    b.... b....

    @Wayne S Tbh I felt like that song kinda ruined the whole album. Every song on Everyday is Christmas are really good but Puppies are Forever felt random and out of place. I was guessing Sia just had to put that in because she really love dogs.

  49. K.... C....

    Ok the rest of her music sucks, but I do like this song...

    K.... C....

    +Top50Reviews that was my favorite part besides the 123 drink part when she was at the table an sitting on the bed

    K.... C....

    ooook.....

    K.... C....

    @Top50Reviews hahah XD
    i just think it is interesting and visually it's my aesthetic 

  50. C.... G....

    This song is amazing

  51. A.... S....

    True art 🙏

  52. z.... ....

    this song was uplifting

    z.... ....

    Still is

  53. C.... V....

    C'est absolument sublime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Bravo Sia! Je pense que de très nombreuses personnes auront envie de découvrir tes anciens albums après ton envoûtant et génial 1000 forms of fears... Ils seront subjugués comme moi par les 1000 facettes de ton extraordinaire talent. 

    C.... V....

    Caroline Vivion OMG je ne serais donc pas la seule française à connaître la Sia d'avant 1000 forms of fears ?
