- Cataracts Lyrics / with translationsWhen our mouths are filled with univited tongues of others
And thew strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats
And they shall enter from the back
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks
Scribs and tangles between their ears
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears
Through the coppice and the chaparral
The thickets thick with mold
The bracken and the brier
Catchweed into the fold
When our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sour is promptly spat
The light will fill our eyes like cats
Cataracts
And thew strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats
And they shall enter from the back
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks
Scribs and tangles between their ears
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears
The thickets thick with mold
The bracken and the brier
Catchweed into the fold
When our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sour is promptly spat
The light will fill our eyes like cats

✔️
When we look deeper into its meaning, Andrew Bird's 'Cataracts' penetrates the themes of intrusion and, at the same time, loss, through the use of powerfully descriptive languages like that of unwelcome tongues and soured milk which give a feeling of disruption and the need for an expulsion to be done. The metaphors of the song like the light filling the eyes of cats signal the presence of hope or clarity in the midst of chaos. The lyrics of Cataracts mainly express the feelings of anxiety, meditation, hopelessness, loneliness, and nature. In contrast, the song highlights alienation and intrusion, decay and corruption, invasion and conflict, confusion and chaos, and natural resistance as its main points. The song lyrics depict an intricate and abstract imagery that could be hard to understand for the younger audience. The themes and language, albeit not very overtly, are adult and could be disturbing for kids below the age of 13. The constant reference to 'uninvited tongues' and 'unrequited mothers' points to the fact that there is a high level of emotional and psychological complexity which is more appropriate for the grown-up listeners.
