[Verse]
DI'm tired of this place
I need to get awEmay
AIt's time for me to go now
DI can't stay
DNo no no no
I'm like a bird
I need to spread Emmy wings
AFly over the ocean
See what the new D7day brings
Cause I'm a seagull
YeahD  
[Verse Analysis]
D(What the singer's trying to say here
Em7Is that he's stifled in Emsome ways
Feeling Ahindered or
Imprisoned by his current situation
And he uses the Dmetaphor of being a seagull
Of wanting to be free)
[Verse]
DI wanna fly
Fly into the sky and
EmCatch a summer breeze
Soar above the clouds
And let my soul Abe free
Yeah, cause I'm Da seagull
DYeah, yeah, yeah
DI'm seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(In the second verse he mentions a summer breezeEm  
And I believe this is a Aconstruct
Allowing him to be free of his problems
Sees himself being untetDhered from
HDe'd rather avoid responsibility
DOr let something else take control
DOf his destiny
And he sees that as similar to being a seagull)
[Verse]
DI can't stay here, I can't stay here
On this Emcold little rock
It's for me to go
Yeah, my mind's A7made up
It's the mind of a seaguDll
DYeah, yeah, yeah
DI'm a seagull, I got the mind of a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
D(In this verse he mentions a rock
I believe the roEmck represents you
The persAon in the relationship with the singer
DAnd by saying you're like a rock
DHe means that you're hard, cold and emotionally impenetrable
DUnlike him, the freewheeling seagull)
[Verse]
DThe tide is rising up
The tide is rising, it's Emmy time to go
And glide across the sky
See the world beAlow
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I'm still a seagullD  
DYeah, yeah, yeah
DI'm, I'll always be a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(The image of the tide rolling in or risEming up
Of course, represents the feeling of doom
AA feeling of being drowned
And that's what he thinks being in the relationsDhip
DWith you is like)
[Verse]
I need to leave this rock behind
There's something more I Em7seekEm  
I wanna feel the warmth Aof the morning sunA7  
Across my beak, yeah
I'm a seagullD  
DYeah, yeah, yeah
DI've got a beak because I'm a seagull
[Verse Analysis]
(In the last two verses we've esEmtablished that you are the rock
The beak mentioned in this verse is cleaArly a phallic metaphor
It's obviously his cockD  
And he wishes to travel to more sexually abundant locations)
[Bridge]
EmI'm a seagull
A seagulEm7l I will always beEm  D  
EmDive into the ocean
Dip my beak into the seaD  
HDere we go now
DLa la la la
La la la la la la la
EmLa la la la la...A  
ALa la la
I'm a seD7agull
Yeah, yeah, yeah
DI've gotta lift this keyboard
I've gotta lift it with my hopelEmess wings
Damn this feathered things, oh
A7Oh, they're the curse
The curse of being a seaDgull
DYeah, yeah, yeah
D(Not quite sure what he means here)
One day I've found this old piano
Found it on this cold little rocEmk
Since that day I've been playing non-stoAp, yeah
'Cause I'm a piano
Piano-playing seagullD  
DYeah, yeah
DWho sometimes shits on people
D
[Verse Analysis]
(Oh, we'll have to re-evaluate
I think what he's actually trying to say Emis
Those aren't metaphors, Ahe is actually a seagull
Sorry, it's not about a guy who Dwants to be like a seagull
It's an actual seagull)
[Verse]
I'm liteDrally a keyboard-plaEmy-in' sea’bird
But who Dalso sings
A keyboaEmrd-play-in' seagEmull
But play this piano with my wingDs
