They said, "To kill a mockingbird is not difficult."
And they never deem themsleves as "criminal"
I don't know whether people will kill me first
I'm just a mockingbird
Wanting to build a nest
Oh is that weird?
Picking up some grass and trying not to disturb what humans do
One day I go to puddle
Seeking for some water to quench my thirst
Land of the bottom
There's a shotgun that shoots my heart
All my weapons're breaking down my feathers are falling apart
What did I do What did I do
They said, "To kill a mockingbird is not difficult."
And they never deem themsleves as "criminal"
I suffer from claustrophobia on my road to heaven
Cause they've captured my soul
When someone have seen me falling from the sky
I won't cry I won't die
I just live another life
Please bury me underground
And they never ever found
My body of heart
One day I announce the dawn
Hoping sun will bring the lucky to the humanity
There's a shotgun that shoots my heart
All my weapons're breaking down my feathers are falling apart
What did I do What did I do
They said, "To kill a mockingbird is not difficult."
And they never deem themsleves as "criminal"
I suffer from claustrophobia on my road to heaven
Cause they've captured my soul

💬 歌曲解讀
《殺死一隻知更鳥》這首歌,8Bite用知更鳥的角度,唱出社會弱勢者的無奈。歌詞裡講到殺死知更鳥不難,那些人還不覺得自己是罪犯,就像社會上有些弱勢者,莫名其妙就受到迫害。知更鳥只想找水喝、築個巢,卻被獵槍攻擊,就像弱勢者面對強權的無力。歌中唱到在通往天堂的路上有幽閉恐懼症,是因為靈魂被囚禁,表達出一種被壓迫到窒息的感覺。但知更鳥就算墜落也不哭不懼,選擇換一種方式活下去,很有力量。總之,這首歌透過音樂,讓大家看到弱勢者的處境,很值得細細體會。
