Find below the translation I made for this song: ***************************************************************** Why do I live, why do I die Why do I laugh, why do I cry This is an S.O.S Of an earth citizen in trouble I’ve never had my feet planted on the ground I’d rather be a bird I don’t feel good about myself I’d like to see the world upside down If only it’s more beautiful Better seen from above From above I’ve always mixed-up life With comic books I have a sort of craving for transformation I feel something That is attracting me That is attracting me That is attracting me to above To the big lottery of the universe I didn’t get the right number I don’t feel good about myself I don’t want to be a robot Subway-work-sleep (the daily grind) Why do I live, why do I die Why do I scream, why do I cry I think I’m receiving waves Coming from another world I’ve never had my feet planted on the ground I’d rather be a bird I don’t feel good about myself I’d like to see the world upside down I’d rather be a bird Sleep baby sleep ****************************************************************** I think the singer is describing his awkwardness and unhappy situation about always being bound to everyday's habits of normal life. Having to spend a boring life while he is a dreamer who wants more freedom and fantasy. He "doesn't feel good about himeself" and wants a life more like in a comic book. He prefers to be a bird and see everything from above. I hope it helped you to understand. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss more about it. Sidou
