	I can definatly see why this could be written in relation to his mother. However, when I first heard the song, I thought it was E's way of saying that he's tired of the modern development of mankind. "I don't care for walkin' down town Crazy auto car gonna mow me down" "I can't stand in line at the store The mean little people are such a bore" So instead he prefers to dismiss modern society and relax in the peaceful comfort of nature. However, the relation to his mother theory seems better; afterall many of the Eels songs are about his deceased loved ones.

	I don't buy the mother bit, I don't see anything related and it's easy to just say his mother had books about birds, plausible, but sounds really silly when you think about it. I'll go with the freedom aspect of birds, they can just fly above all the shit that goes on below without care minding their own business. I like the chorus, I don't think there's too much to draw there other than he's talking about birds again... of course writing a song about birds is a pretty silly...but it's a fun song all the same. 1

	His mother owned these books on birds and so he sung a song about birds in relation to his mother. A lot of songs in this album are for/about his mother.

	Cool, I didn't know that. I always interpreted it as a metaphor for dreams: the small ones being just as noble as the big ones. Blasting into space is certainly flying high, but it's a product of and thereby a contribution to the mechanized rat race game you have to play if you want to win big. The little victories, however (that only involve being yourself), are more important.
