"Birds of Prey", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Christina Aguilera, mengeksplorasi tema ilusi dan perspektif subjektif. Lagu ini dimulai dengan gambaran seseorang yang tersesat dalam dunia fantasi, di mana kenyataan berbeda dari apa yang terlihat. Melalui permainan kata-kata yang memikat dan metafora yang kuat, "Birds of Prey" mengungkap bahaya hanya melihat apa yang diinginkan dan bagaimana hal itu dapat membutakan seseorang dari kebenaran. Lagu ini mengkritisi kecenderungan masyarakat untuk mengabaikan perspektif yang berbeda, lebih memilih untuk tetap berada di zona nyaman mereka sendiri.
Birds of Prey Lyrics
Christina Aguilera
Suddenly lost inside a fantasy
Everything not quite what it seems to be
Slipping and falling through the looking glass
Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the masks
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey (prey, prey, prey)
When you're out with the birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
Taking the blue pill only made you cry
And all that the red pill did was make you forget why
There is no right, there's no wrong
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want
There is no right, there's no wrong
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
Everything not quite what it seems to be
Slipping and falling through the looking glass
Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the masks
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey (prey, prey, prey)
When you're out with the birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
Taking the blue pill only made you cry
And all that the red pill did was make you forget why
There is no right, there's no wrong
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed
The birds of prey
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want
There is no right, there's no wrong
You only see what you want
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
When you're out with the birds of prey
