I always thought that this song was for Jacob... "A quick wet boy" "I cut my long baby hair" "Dog-earned map" "Called for you everywhere" "Jealous" "Nursing my sore blunt tongue"
I feel almost as if the song's not as much about love as it is about someone's life. "The cops close the fair," and a boy is forced to grow up much before he's ready to. But instead of staying there, crying his eyes out about what's already gone, he embarks on a quest to find something better. He searches night and day, but the roadmap of life that he grabbed was worn down, and convoluted, and ever-winding. He travels everywhere, calling out, but nothing that answers him seems to be real. He stumbles upon little things that shine and sparkle, and even seem appetizing at first glance (like warm rats to a fat cat), but they always end up being laced with poison. It drives him to the brink, and he questions if he's ever found at least one thing able to be grabbed onto and cherished -- one imperfect, broken thing -- or if they're all just cruel reminders of his precious days of youth that were cut short by the unforgiving world. In the end, he really can't ever be sure, and so he starts to feel as if his life's wasting away. But on the other hand, he knows in his soul that he's much too stubborn to settle, so he keeps watching the world through tired eyes until finally, another glimmer of hope comes along that shines brighter than the rest. He asks himself again if he's found "it," and this time, what he feels takes his breath away. Still, he's so used to being disappointed and forsaken by life that he has a hard time accepting that this time, he may have just found something true. He wonders if life will finally show him something beautiful, or if being an adult is just one big pill he'll never be able to swallow. It's a beautiful song, and I can definitely see the parallels to Edward, his struggle with the "life" that was forced upon him, and his feelings meeting Bella after his 100 years or so of depression. Yikes.
You must've been amazing at English, this interpretation is beautiful! I tried to put it into the context of love, but it didn't fit, and now you've enlighted me, thank you ❤️
You know how when you first realized that you have fallen in love. The feeling is said to be indescribable. What if the song is about that very feeling at that exact moment? Unable to form the perfect sentence for how you feel, so we find metaphors for that very feeling, hence the reason for the jumbled mixed sentences.IDK.. Just going on a tangent...
Edward: "Shall we?" Bella: "Your serious" Edward: "oh why not" Edward: "See you're dancing" Bella: "At prom." Bella: "Edward why did you save me why didn't you just let the venom spread I could be like you right now" Edward: "you don't know what your saying you don't want this" Bella: "I want you always." Edward: "I'm not gonna end your life for you" Bella: "I'm dying already every second I get closer older" Edward: "That's the way its supposed to be" Bella: "Alice said she saw me like you I heard her" Edward: "her visions change" Bella: "Base on what people decide i've decided" Edward: "So this is what you dream about becoming a monster" Bella: "I dream about being with you forever" Edward: "Forever?" Edward: "And your ready right now?" Bella: "Yes" Edward: "Is it not enough just to have a long and happy life with me?" Bella: "For now" Bella (V.O.) "No one will surrender tonight but I wont give in I know what I want"
So I've been thinking about this song and it's odd lyrics for a while and I've figured it out mostly. It's about the indescribably love and nurturing you feel when you discover something beautiful and helpless in need of your care, in this case a little bird with an injured wing. In both verses he describes himself as something that could hurt the bird, a curious child and a fat rowdy cat, both things that tend to be not very gentle to helpless birds but yet, he falls in love with the bird and cares for it. This delicate tiny, precious thing that falls into his lap so to speak. He's describing falling in love with a woman as if he's met her in multiple lives each time, brought to his knees by the beauty and delicateness of this tiny, beautiful thing. The part about an american mouth and pill is describing losing her like taking a bitter medication. So the story is, curious rambunctious person meets, helpless "flightless bird" falls for her, and wonders what a deep ache it would be lose her. The rest of the lyrics are visual details to make living each of these imagined lives feel more real. Picture now this fat lazy cat chasing animals outdoors, biting and playing and hunting things, only to find this wounded bird, with a broken and wing and instead of chewing it up and killing as a cat would, moved to love this precious little thing. That is the point of the song. Hope it helps
Great interpretation Elaine thanks 🙏 How exceptionally gifted are the song writer/s to capture their words into the movie with such power & have so many people around the world watch it over and over again & still be mesmerised time after time after time! Forever grateful 🙏❤️🤗
Jenna Galvan everyone have their way to express their feeling, this song is full of deep meaning that were made by art in the lyric preference.. and not all understand it. i think that is it..
I can’t count how many times I’ve watched the twilight movies, literally. I’ll watch the first twilight then the second and then third..so on so forth..I’ll loose track of time, also I cry everytime in alices vision🤧🤧
We were dancing in the kitchen with our hands intertwined. The room lit by the pale moonlight and no words being shared except for our own breaths.This moment felt like no other. It was surreal and beautiful. Every emotion we felt being shared with one another through our movements. Wide smiles plastered on both of our faces. The faint sounds from the vinyl playing 'Flightless Bird' in the background played throughout the night. The tragedy of it all being that it was all pure hope and imagination. I felt their presence fade away as I opened up my eyes. The warmth and beauty of the night slipping away as fast as it came. A sad smile appeared on my face. If only she knew how obsessively I thought and wrote about her. She was my muse and I was a fool to have let her go.
I love twilight ! I'm an Italian girl and I go crazy for the whole saga , so I thank you and I am happy that you have this passion ... not EVER lose it (I hope I have written quite well, because I don't speak English very well...)
what if their lyrics are for fleeting thoughts and memories to come and observe, to possibly plot the songs purpose, what if that's the purpose, to create your own scene in your head of what is happening as the music plays, that's true art and it speaks volumes. all around, a great song.
I think the song is about a young teen boy who finds love, but is stupid and doesn't realize so he walks away (A quick wet boy) Then he is a young adult and realizes what happened so he goes to find her (Cops closing the fair/Cutting baby hair/Getting a map) Next he is a married adult and still regrets passed decisions (Fat house cat- stays at home Poison rats pissing on magazines The rats are the regret he feels that have turned bitter and the magazine pics are memories. The rest of the song kind of re explains that. Idk
I watched the movie and it was beautiful...then i forgot about it... But after all those years... the glimpse of the scene with this song started to come up in my mind... I watched the movie again just to feel this song... and now I'm here... It's a magical song.
when i grow up, i want this music to be played in my wedding, so much, and for honeymoon, me and my future soulmate gonna dancing every night listening to twilight soundtrack because its sooo fking beautiful
Since it's one day before Valentin's day I'll tell you the story about how I fell in love without noticing. And still to this very day I weep for what I've lost without acknowledging the perfect disease I had called love. This boy I fell for was holding my hand so tightly while I sang this song in the empty streets. We both ran around like little children laughing at everything the other said just to see the other smile, God I still love him so much the way his bright blue eyes would spark up when I'd push his hair out of his face to softly and delicately kiss his lips...
My take on "Flightless Bird" lyrics* I was an innocent child who believed I had all the answers. I was superficial, searching for all the wrong things that I thought would bring happiness. Everybody wanted a piece of what I believed was really me. All they really wanted was to benefit from the person I blindly thought myself to be. When I realized my own delusion of myself,and who I am, I began to change into the person I truly am,The person I want to be,the person I've always been,but couldn't see through the eyes of my own unawareness. Confused,I sought a way to make sense of my confusion,my pain. Desperately,I clung to anything to help confirm who I am. I wanted all this pain to be just in my mind,not real. Am I the me I think I am? I don't have the internal strength I need.I'm jealous of blissful ignorance.It is better to not have to deal with my demons.And this is so hard to come to terms with-who I thought who I was vs who I really am. Did I lose myself? I can lose myself so easily. All it takes is a crutch to ease the pain. This pain is endless,my safety exists only when I'm alone in my safe place. I enable my self-pity. But I can't ignore it forever.I know I can't forever hide,but the temptation is so inviting to forget the pain away. The pain always creeps back in. It ruins everything I know isn't,but want to believe is true. I try to forget,so many ways,any way to make me believe. I'm masking my hurt away,using a pleasant veil so maybe they believe.Then maybe I can too. Am I the me I think I am? I don't have the strength to fight it anymore.I'm aware,but the awareness is so painful. But maybe I can just lose myself,one more temporarily gratifying time. All it takes is a crutch to ease this pain.
eto pala un haha thanks for uploading. i typed, "i love you twilight ost" haha to know now that it is "Have i found you instead of I love you" hahaha. the sound just popped in my head with blurry lyrics but then i still found it. :)
In the eye and ear of this beholder the song is profoundly beautiful and soaring. The lyrics seemed odd at first but soon became deeply suggestive and pulled me like a tide into the many layered brilliance of the whole of the song. There is a longing for love of one's self and love of another and the dream of flying once and again with wings or not. "Have I found you..............................................................?"
This song has many interpretations due to the seemingly nonsensical lyrics and the fact that Samuel Beam hasn’t addressed the inspiration or the meaning of the lyrics. One interpretation of this song would be a story of a man in a race against time to save his love from suicide due to his affair. Or… It could be about a boy’s race against time to find his lost loved one who happened to be a troubled, broken girl he thought he could save from her self destructive path but the task ended up being to big. Or… It could literally be about fat cats and rats. This song could be about anything. by: GENIUS WEB
Very well thought out interpretations! I myself lean towards the second one as I am in love with a " flightless bird" who is constantly working on self destruct while I'm constantly trying to save her from herself.
Well I think this song is one of the most beautiful songs it has much meaning if you just listen it's all about ther whole llife the lyrics are brilliant well done Just beautiful
Drug addiction? Maybe but there's more to it, I believe it goes far more deeper than that haha. It's subjective so you can make it to whatever you want. Good song though. :)
Love is a persons own drug ... Sometimes even causing them a lot of pain ... Sometimes swearing the person will never have it again .... But love is not our choice . Drug can sometimes even kill which is the job that the love is most successful at. And you say ;;; just feel the harmony and deep love and passion which is the main power on humans , letting them do stupid things for stupid people. Heart can find pace in heaven .and even in hell when it is near its favorite addiction .
All of their songs are incredibly metaphorical. You have to listen to it like one of those poems you had to decipher in highschool English. There's alot of metaphors to growing up and learning that a steady strong love is better than the fun immature caos of temptation. The cat being leured by poisoned rats. The boy cutting his immature long hair when he realizes the fun is over and trying to find a love he lost. It's a very powerful song if you dig deeper than surface level. The words sound funny until you realize what they mean
When I first heard this on twilight, which is the prom and the wedding scene, I thought he was singing "When I found you, I am desperate .. " XD o_o then when I came here, I realized it was "Have I found you, flightless bird .." Haha!
I came here to reminisce about twilight but now I'm actually in love with this song. All the people down in the comment section tell their depictions have made appreciate this song even more. So I guess I'm saying thanks
I fell like that they should make a new twilight I miss it so much like come on I in love with it I just want to watch it thousands of times like Bella was a great actor and Edward someone TELL THEM TO MAKE A NEW TWILIGHT NOW
Just thinking about twilight and just this song is just making me cry
I FEEL U SIS
So many "just"
Same
2020 and watching twilight over again and this song makes me emotional
It’s my fav scene in the entire series…tear up every dang time 😢
I always thought that this song was for Jacob...
"A quick wet boy"
"I cut my long baby hair"
"Dog-earned map"
"Called for you everywhere"
"Jealous"
"Nursing my sore blunt tongue"
Yes maybe
whoah
nina lover omg that's amazing
Omg this makes sense
nina lover I know I thought the same thing as soon as I started listening to the lyrics. I thought it was just me :0
Twilight opened me up to a whole new genre of music. I was never into this type of stuff until I watched the movies. Now I love indie folk music
Rob Lamb Same. And classical music too
I feel almost as if the song's not as much about love as it is about someone's life.
"The cops close the fair," and a boy is forced to grow up much before he's ready to. But instead of staying there, crying his eyes out about what's already gone, he embarks on a quest to find something better.

Kate Andaya yeah probably
Luv this song.

We were dancing in the kitchen with our hands intertwined. The room lit by the pale moonlight and no words being shared except for our own breaths.This moment felt like no other. It was surreal and beautiful. Every emotion we felt being shared with one another through our movements. Wide smiles plastered on both of our faces. The faint sounds from the vinyl playing 'Flightless Bird' in the background played throughout the night. The tragedy of it all being that it was all pure hope and imagination. I felt their presence fade away as I opened up my eyes. The warmth and beauty of the night slipping away as fast as it came. A sad smile appeared on my face.

I love twilight ! I'm an Italian girl and I go crazy for the whole saga , so I thank you and I am happy that you have this passion ... not EVER lose it (I hope I have written quite well, because I don't speak English very well...)
Ma sei pazza
Cool. Italian. I'm Irish.
+monia servino I know exactly what you mean girl... I am so in love with Edward
the emotion behind the music is so inviting for a person to fall deeply in love . so beautiful .

I love that this is the first song they dance to and the first song on the night of their wedding 😍😭 the feels 😭
I think the song is about a young teen boy who finds love, but is stupid and doesn't realize so he walks away (A quick wet boy)
Then he is a young adult and realizes what happened so he goes to find her
(Cops closing the fair/Cutting baby hair/Getting a map)
Next he is a married adult and still regrets passed decisions
(Fat house cat- stays at home
Poison rats pissing on magazines
The rats are the regret he feels that have turned bitter and the magazine pics are memories.
The rest of the song kind of re explains that.
Idk
this dong is bueatyful so don't try it.
beautiful "dong" indeed haha 😁

My mom bought me the twilight movies for my 29th birthday. Brings me back to being 17 watching them for the first time in almost 12 years
The song is about regret... He has found his true loved yet he let's it go, tries to find it, but can't see it anymore... Very sad song...
this will always be one of the best songs from twilight
I do love this song too thinking of bella and Edward
Jophen Cheng same
Thanks for uploading. Awesome song.
why can't they make a twilight movie about Jacob and reneseme (sorry if I spelled that wrong)
Dagny Rut I wrote one on WattPad if u wanna check it out. It's called Twilight (Fresh Waters)
Stephanie Meyers started writing a book called midnight sun but someone out it on the internet soooo😟😤😬
@@beccax1980 no it isn't; midnight sun is twilight through edward's pov
Kirsty i wanna check it out😍 sorry for 2 years later hahah😂
You actually spelt it correctly it hard spell her name
This song is a masterpiece ❤✨🪄 feels so magical
I just listened to this song after 11 years. It's still beautiful, but the lyrics made me chuckle.
I like it when John cena is being Edward Cullen and Dolly Parton is being Bella Cullen are dancing at hot topic marvel studios live on stage!
Thank you twilight saga. I love all the music from the twilight saga and this is my favorite.
Finally! I can use this song for my gls when they go to prom when they get there
I love this song I can't stop hearing it!
LOVE THIS SOO MUCH!!! I LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
Since it's one day before Valentin's day I'll tell you the story about how I fell in love without noticing.

Twilight vibes bro ! 🥰
this song changed my life
This song is pure art the contrast of the lyrics blissfully put together I love it.. A modern Shakespeare❤
The music from these movies reminded this old chick what love felt like. I miss it, but it was great watching it happen on the screen.
ชอบเพลงนี้มากจ้า หนังก้สนุก ใครว่าภาคจบไม่สนุก ถึงจะแค่คิด แต่ก้เห็นฉากต่อสู้แล้วก้ถือว่าสู้กันแล้ว สนุกมากเลยค่ะ ชอบๆ
i cry when i listen to this song.
i don't get the lyrics tho...
love this song ;)
Is it weird that i think Ed Sheeran should cover this?!
Yes he should
Yayy someone agrees!!
Of course his voice would sound perfect 😍
True...*-* lol
Kat Gomez
Can I cover it? haha without any experience ? :D
Thank you so much for explaining these lyrics it's been annoying me for so long you can't imagine XD
Who's watching this in 2017

i searched for this song again because i miss twilight 😭
Annabeth Isabela Castaneda i am watching Twilight right now ㅋㅋㅋ
Alyssa Lopez same here love twilight why did it have to end? 😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢
2018*
Isabela Castaneda Me in 2018
Dragon, I agree with your interpretation completely! No one could have said it better! Thank you!!
My take on "Flightless Bird" lyrics*
I was an innocent child who believed I had all the answers.
I was superficial, searching for all the wrong things that I thought would bring happiness.
Everybody wanted a piece of what I believed was really me.
All they really wanted was to benefit from the person
I blindly thought myself to be.
When I realized my own delusion of myself,and who I am,
I began to change into the person I truly am,The person I want to be,the person I've always been,but couldn't see through the eyes of my own unawareness.
Confused,I sought a way to make sense of my confusion,my pain.
Desperately,I clung to anything to help confirm who I am.
I wanted all this pain to be just in my mind,not real.
Am I the me I think I am?
I don't have the internal strength I need.I'm jealous of blissful ignorance.It is better to not have to deal with my demons.And this is so hard to come to terms with-who I thought who I was vs who I really am.
Did I lose myself?
I can lose myself so easily.
All it takes is a crutch to ease the pain.
This pain is endless,my safety exists only when I'm alone in my safe place.
I enable my self-pity.
But I can't ignore it forever.I know I can't forever hide,but the temptation is so inviting to forget the pain away.
The pain always creeps back in.
It ruins everything I know isn't,but want to believe is true.
I try to forget,so many ways,any way to make me believe.
I'm masking my hurt away,using a pleasant veil so maybe they believe.Then maybe I can too.
Am I the me I think I am?
I don't have the strength to fight it anymore.I'm aware,but the awareness is so painful.
But maybe I can just lose myself,one more temporarily gratifying time.
All it takes is a crutch to ease this pain.
Beautifully written :)
eto pala un haha thanks for uploading.
i typed, "i love you twilight ost" haha to know now that it is "Have i found you instead of I love you" hahaha. the sound just popped in my head with blurry lyrics but then i still found it. :)
I love Twilight so so so much
The best song about penguins ever written.
Why am I crying because twilight has controlled my life over the years still??
In the eye and ear of this beholder the song is profoundly beautiful and soaring. The lyrics seemed odd at first but soon became deeply suggestive and pulled me like a tide into the many layered brilliance of the whole of the song. There is a longing for love of one's self and love of another and the dream of flying once and again with wings or not.
"Have I found you..............................................................?"
This song is my life. Today I am feeling I lost everything but I know I will stand up and will follow my mother's dream Miss you mumy
I want this to be my wedding song😍😢
This song has many interpretations due to the seemingly nonsensical lyrics and the fact that Samuel Beam hasn’t addressed the inspiration or the meaning of the lyrics.
One interpretation of this song would be a story of a man in a race against time to save his love from suicide due to his affair.
Or…
It could be about a boy’s race against time to find his lost loved one who happened to be a troubled, broken girl he thought he could save from her self destructive path but the task ended up being to big.
Or…
It could literally be about fat cats and rats. This song could be about anything.

+Romz Taleon its nice to know im not the only one who thinks like you do....i feel slightly less alone
Romeo Taleon that's the beauty of this song.What do you think?
Ahahahahahahahhaaa I like you
Very well thought out interpretations! I myself lean towards the second one as I am in love with a " flightless bird" who is constantly working on self destruct while I'm constantly trying to save her from herself.
This is the most soothing song ever. It helps me relax
If I get married, this is going to be the song ❤️
Twilight yesssss, this is love song, i like this song.
Omg, this makes me cry i remember when Twilight were my favourite movie I just miss Twilight so much 😒😿😿😿😿
I would have never understood the lyrics if it wasn't for your explanation! Thank you!
Well I think this song is one of the most beautiful songs it has much meaning if you just listen it's all about ther whole llife the lyrics are brilliant well done Just beautiful
I agree :)
I’ts absolutely amazing how people could have differents interpretation of one song!❤️
It's about drug addiction. Also, this song existed way before Twilight, so yeah.
Drug addiction? Maybe but there's more to it, I believe it goes far more deeper than that haha. It's subjective so you can make it to whatever you want. Good song though. :)
Alex Acosta That's true. Art is incredibly subjective. I'm glad we can all agree that it's a good song though. :)
Love is a persons own drug ... Sometimes even causing them a lot of pain ... Sometimes swearing the person will never have it again .... But love is not our choice . Drug can sometimes even kill which is the job that the love is most successful at. And you say ;;; just feel the harmony and deep love and passion which is the main power on humans , letting them do stupid things for stupid people. Heart can find pace in heaven .and even in hell when it is near its favorite addiction .
Metin Bardavid nice!
such a beautiful song!! not just because of twilight. but even twilight haters gotta admit they always have killer soundtracks!
All of their songs are incredibly metaphorical. You have to listen to it like one of those poems you had to decipher in highschool English. There's alot of metaphors to growing up and learning that a steady strong love is better than the fun immature caos of temptation. The cat being leured by poisoned rats. The boy cutting his immature long hair when he realizes the fun is over and trying to find a love he lost. It's a very powerful song if you dig deeper than surface level. The words sound funny until you realize what they mean
Love this song.the melody.everything
When I first heard this on twilight, which is the prom and the wedding scene, I thought he was singing "When I found you, I am desperate .. " XD o_o then when I came here, I realized it was "Have I found you, flightless bird .." Haha!
This made me stunn. I'm totally love with it ❤
I ♥ twilight
