Beautiful song. I've lost both my parents and son in the last four years. I can relate to this song. I listen to it every night before I go to bed.makes me cry and gives me chills.
I just read that this was actually about an Indian ringneck parakeet she once had as a pet, and had to give up because of constant touring and being away from home. She said it was an emotional song to record because that bird meant a lot to her. :3 I used to think it was about a mother saying goodbye to her son who was leaving home (the nest/flying the coop). Whatever it means to you, it's such a beautiful song... always gets a lump in my throat.
(Verse) I be flying home To you , your eyes They will clip your hands In cages , cages (Chorus) And I miss you more I know you're flying to me And I'm inside these walls anymore And if ever see More than I seen you before And I keep it clean Cleaner than me Clean, clean (Verse) The flick in my soul Sing it louder my love Heard you in so strong In love In love (Chorus) And I miss you more I know you're flying to me And I'm inside these walls anymore And if ever see More than I seen you before And I keep it clean Cleaner than me Clean, clean (Verse) Now I move past you growing Glam party with those feathers And make you all That you grow (Chorus) And I miss you more I know you're flying to me And I'm inside these walls anymore And if ever see More than I seen you before And I keep it clean Cleaner than me (Verse) And erased you will My further sun And set you free Freer than me And remember me Only when you sleep I'll be back to you In cages
I'll be flying home To you blue eyes And they won't clip your wings In cages, cage And I miss you more When I know you can fly to me Not inside these walls anymore And your feathers smooth More than I've seen before And they can keep you clean Cleaner than me, clean Don't forget my song Sing it louder, my love Heard you land so strong In arms In arms And I miss you more When I know you can fly to me Not inside these walls anymore And your feathers smooth More than I've seen before And they can keep you clean Cleaner than me, clean And I watched you grow Collected your first feathers And I made you a home And I let you go And I miss you more When I know you can fly to me Not inside these walls anymore And your feathers smooth More than I've seen before And they can keep you clean Cleaner than me, clean And I raised you well My first son And then set you free Freer than here And remember me Only when you sleep I'll be back for you In cages

The two meanings can be in a certain way. :)
Kurt Cobain also had a knack for making songs about a very specific situation sound universal.
I really really love this song!!! This exact one has pulled me out of places I can’t even explain. Thank you 🫶🏼
Just beautiful really grounds me when I bit carried away...love her...
its hard to listen to this song..
(Verse)
I be flying home
To you , your eyes
They will clip your hands
In cages , cages
(Chorus)
And I miss you more
I know you're flying to me
And I'm inside these walls anymore
And if ever see
More than I seen you before
And I keep it clean
Cleaner than me
Clean, clean
(Verse)
The flick in my soul
Sing it louder my love
Heard you in so strong
In love
In love
(Chorus)
And I miss you more
I know you're flying to me
And I'm inside these walls anymore
And if ever see
More than I seen you before
And I keep it clean
Cleaner than me
Clean, clean
(Verse)
Now I move past you growing
Glam party with those feathers
And make you all
That you grow
(Chorus)
And I miss you more
I know you're flying to me
And I'm inside these walls anymore
And if ever see
More than I seen you before
And I keep it clean
Cleaner than me
(Verse)
And erased you will
My further sun
And set you free
Freer than me
And remember me
Only when you sleep
I'll be back to you
In cages
I'll be flying home
To you blue eyes
And they won't clip your wings
In cages, cage
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
Don't forget my song
Sing it louder, my love
Heard you land so strong
In arms
In arms
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
And I watched you grow
Collected your first feathers
And I made you a home
And I let you go
And I miss you more
When I know you can fly to me
Not inside these walls anymore
And your feathers smooth
More than I've seen before
And they can keep you clean
Cleaner than me, clean
And I raised you well
My first son
And then set you free
Freer than here
And remember me
Only when you sleep
I'll be back for you
In cages
This is just insanely written music and lyrics. It doesn't get any better,, , unless she does another album
