Lyric discussion by FiddlerJones 

When I first heard this song, I was in shock. I felt like the bird that wouldn't let go of the wire. Me and my brother are very close, and he is graduating next year and wants to go out and do something big. He wants to join the coast guard or the army and fly away from our little wire. I want him to live his life and dreams but I don't know what will happen after he flies away.

i think this is the best idea here. it's a perfect metaphor. it's all the birds who remain wired (hmm could also mean 'get off the damned internets and go see the effin world!) that this song will shock this way. everyone could probably make it apply to them in SOME way.

I was of the mind that it was about friends as well. Because growing up the wire seems safe and you don't mind being on it as long as you have a friend, but when it comes time to fly some folks cling instead of letting go.

Cody- Or it could mean all the agoraphobics stay on their wire because they're too afraid to go see the effin world, unlike the fearless relatives who want to save the world. Sometimes I'm on the damned internets because it's the closest I can get to people without having a panic attack. Such as nao.
