(speculation) this song is about the choice to have a career in your passion, but not being allowed to do so since people around you keep saying you won’t succeed in it.
One, two, three, four
My voice, taken
My choice, not mine in the first place
My fears, unseen
My troubles, faking
But my days are full of material
But I can't write anything
I forgot how to sing
Just a bird with plucked wings
You know
I don't wanna be here
I know
That you don't either
But we don't have a choice
Or kind of on paper
But my days are full of other people
And it's becoming way too much
I forgot how to sing
Just a bird with plucked wings
Take a bird out of the sky
And you wonder why
Take a bird out of the sky
And when she wants to fly
You wonder why
You wonder why
You wonder why
She wants to fly
But my days are full of material
But I can't write anything
I forgot how to sing
Just a bird with plucked wings
Plucked was written by Alexia Roditis & Carlos de la Garza & Narsai Malik & Violet Mayubga.
Plucked was produced by Carlos de la Garza.
Destroy-boys released Plucked on Wed Mar 13 2024.
‘Plucked’ is an entry to a new era. It’s focused on freedom of expression & learning how to embrace your quirks. It’s ultimately just a little pop-rock banger. It’s super fun to play – we’re excited to play it live in future shows!
