Seagull (Live in London)

I'm tired of this place I need to get away It's time for me to go now I can't stay No no no no I'm like a bird I need to spread my wings Fly over the ocean See what the new day brings Cause I'm a seagull Yeah What the singer's trying to say here Is that he's stifled in some ways Feeling hindered or Imprisoned by his current situation And he uses the metaphor of being a seagull Of wanting to be free I wanna fly Fly into the sky and Catch a summer breeze Soar above the clouds And let my soul be free Yeah, cause I'm a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm seagull In the second verse he mentions a summer breeze And I believe this is a construct Allowing him to be free of his problems Sees himself being untethered from He'd rather avoid responsibility Or let something else take control Of his destiny And he sees that as similar to being a seagull I can't stay here, I can't stay here On this cold little rock It's for me to go Yeah, my mind's made up It's the mind of a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a seagull, I got the mind of a seagull In this verse he mentions a rock I believe the rock represents you The person in the relationship with the singer And by saying you're like a rock He means that you're hard, cold and emotionally impenetrable Unlike him, the freewheeling seagull The tide is rising up The tide is rising, it's my time to go And glide across the sky See the world below Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm still a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm, I'll always be a seagull The image of the tide rolling in or rising up Of course, represents the feeling of doom A feeling of being drowned And that's what he thinks being in the relationship With you is like I need to leave this rock behind There's something more I seek I wanna feel the warmth of the morning sun Across my beak, yeah I'm a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah I've got a beak because I'm a seagull In the last two verses we've established that you are the rock The beak mentioned in this verse is clearly a phallic metaphor It's obviously his cock And he wishes to travel to more sexually abundant locations I'm a seagull A seagull I will always be Dive into the ocean Dip my beak into the sea Here we go now La la la La la la la la La la la la la... La la la I'm a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah I've gotta lift this keyboard I've gotta lift it with my hopeless wings Damn this feathered things, oh Oh, they're the curse The curse of being a seagull Yeah, yeah, yeah Not quite sure what he means here One day I've found this old piano Found it on this cold little rock Since that day I've been playing non-stop, yeah 'Cause I'm a piano Piano-playing seagull Yeah, yeah Who sometimes shits on people Oh, we'll have to re-evaluate I think what he's actually trying to say is Those aren't metaphors, he is actually a seagull Sorry, it's not about a guy who wants to be like a seagull It's an actual seagull I'm literally a keyboard-play-ing seabird Who also sings A keyboard-play-in' seabird Playin' this piano with my wings Oh, here we go now La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la... I'm a seagull he's literally a seagull La la la la la Aghk, aghk La la la la la Aghk, aghk he's actually a piano-playing seagull Piano solo Oh, I wish I had some fingers Ah, damn this feathered things Damn Aghk Aghk Fuck Oh, now La la la la la La la la la la I'm a seagull La la la la la La la la la la I'm a seagull actually a seagull
