A Caution To The Birds deals with the fragility of human life and how, in order to live in a sane way, we put the thoughts of our own mortality (the truth) completely out of our minds. Or we drown them out with other thoughts (there’s order in the sound – sound being other thoughts of course).
It’s...
The body's not secure
The truth will not absorb
And this crumbling apart
Is no good for you at all..
Sound, there's order in the sound
The sound that you don't know..
And with eyes that never look
Past the time under foot
And this reading in the cards
Is a caution to the birds..
Sound, there's order in the sound
The sound that you don't know..
