[Verse]
DI'm tired of this place I need to get awEmay AIt's time for me to go now DI can't stay DNo no no no
I'm like a bird
I need to spreadEm my wings AFly over the ocean See what the newD7 day brings
Cause I'm a seagull
Yeah D [Verse Analysis] D(What the singer's trying to say here Em7Is that he's stifled in Emsome ways Feeling Ahindered or
Imprisoned by his current situation
And he uses the Dmetaphor of being a seagull Of wanting to be free)
[Verse]
DI wanna fly Fly into the sky and EmCatch a summer breeze
Soar above the clouds
And let my soul Abe free Yeah, cause I'm Da seagull DYeah, yeah, yeah DI'm seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(In the second verse he mentions a summer breezeEm And I believe this is a Aconstruct
Allowing him to be free of his problems
Sees himself being untetDhered from HDe'd rather avoid responsibility DOr let something else take control DOf his destiny
And he sees that as similar to being a seagull) [Verse]
DI can't stay here, I can't stay here On this Emcold little rock
It's for me to go
Yeah, my mind's A7made up It's the mind of a seaguDll DYeah, yeah, yeah DI'm a seagull, I got the mind of a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
D(In this verse he mentions a rock I believe the roEmck represents you The persAon in the relationship with the singer DAnd by saying you're like a rock DHe means that you're hard, cold and emotionally impenetrable DUnlike him, the freewheeling seagull)
[Verse]
DThe tide is rising up The tide is rising, it'sEm my time to go
And glide across the sky
See the world beAlow Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm still a seagull D DYeah, yeah, yeah DI'm, I'll always be a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(The image of the tide rolling in or risEming up Of course, represents the feeling of doom AA feeling of being drowned And that's what he thinks being in the relationsDhip DWith you is like)
[Verse] I need to leave this rock behind
There's something more IEm7 seek Em I wanna feel the warmth Aof the morning sun A7
Across my beak, yeah
I'm a seagull D DYeah, yeah, yeah DI've got a beak because I'm a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(In the last two verses we've esEmtablished that you are the rock The beak mentioned in this verse is cleaArly a phallic metaphor It's obviously his cock D
And he wishes to travel to more sexually abundant locations) [Bridge]
EmI'm a seagull A seagulEm7l I will always be Em D EmDive into the ocean Dip my beak into the seaD HDere we go now DLa la la la
La la la la la la la

Yeah, yeah, yeah
DI've gotta lift this keyboard I've gotta lift it with my hopelEmess wings
Damn this feathered things, oh
A7Oh, they're the curse The curse of being a seaDgull DYeah, yeah, yeah D(Not quite sure what he means here)
One day I've found this old piano
Found it on this cold little rocEmk Since that day I've been playing non-stoAp, yeah
'Cause I'm a piano
Piano-playing seagull D DYeah, yeah DWho sometimes shits on people
D [Verse Analysis] (Oh, we'll have to re-evaluate
I think what he's actually trying to sayEm is Those aren't metaphors, Ahe is actually a seagull Sorry, it's not about a guy who Dwants to be like a seagull
It's an actual seagull) [Verse]
I'm liteDrally a keyboard-plaEmy-in' sea’bird But who Dalso sings A keyboaEmrd-play-in' seagEmull But play this piano with my wingDs DOh, here we go now
