I think it's about having sex with someone you don't want to have it with...but still I'm not sure. It may also just be about the crow...
Lyrics
The Crow
[v1]
Outside the window there’s a crow a tree
it could also be a raven, I’m not sure about that
I’m just trying to escape the feeling you create inside me
I watch the crow and the crow watches us
[chorus}
black bird, sad looking thing
did they clip your wings
or why don’t you fly?
black bird, sad looking thing
if the clipped your wings
why don’t you cry?
[v2]
I wonder what it would feel like to sit outside in the snow
I wonder if the crow is tired and I wonder if it’s cold
I wonder what it would look like to see myself in that window
maybe the crow feels a strange as I do
[chorus]
black bird, sad looking thing
did they clip your wings
or why don’t you fly?
black bird, sad looking thing
if the clipped your wings
why don’t you cry?
[solo1]
[v3]
I hate the way you move and I hate the way you breathe
spontaneously combusted by the flame of your lust
I fear the glowing sword you sheathe inside me
my fear mixes with anger and my anger with disgust
[bridge]
there’s a crow inside my stomach
all it wants is out
there’s a crow inside my head
all it wants is out
and there’s a crow under my skin
all I want is out
[solo2]
[finish]
