De betekenis van dit lied wordt door Raine Maida zelf verklaard:
"I was in Kansas city a while back and there was this man on the street. I was in my hotel room and I couldn't sleep ‘cause this guy was just yelling through a megaphone and he was yelling about a bunch of propaganda and stuff but the next day when I went down from the hotel and he was outside still. I had a chance to pass by, read his booklet and stuff and I heard him talking to some other people and the song encompasses the thing where it's kinda like a serial killer where on the surface he's just a ruthless, kinda no conscience, no remorse killer but underneath the serial killer there's obviously a really intelligent, very calculating kind of person and that's is what I wanted to get in the lyrics of the song. There's so many different ways and so many different perspectives to look at somebody.This thing, the birdman is just that in itself, that there's always something deeper when you look into it."

Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away?
He seemed harmless enough
So you let him in and now you'll pay

I can't see him but he's stalking in my thoughts

How does it feel when you can't concentrate, I just stare
And all of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on
And how does it feel when he calls your name
You plug your ears but it's not the same
How do you know when he pulls you back?
Oh, he pulls you back, back, back

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
Birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
But I just can't trust him tonight

How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days?
We arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear, right? Wrong!
How does it feel when he comes to pass?
There's something there but it's not quite right
How does it know, does it make you mad?
Oh, it makes you mad, mad, mad, mad

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
The birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
It's all on the other side

I feel him, I feel him close
And I feel him, I feel him

But how do we find?

Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
The birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
But I just can't trust him tonight

Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
The birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right
And people and all you people

Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on, get it on and on and on
Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on, get it on

I feel him, I feel him close
I feel him, I feel him close
I feel him, I feel him close

I feel
