It took me a couple minutes before I thought to ask why it was a bird doing the talking...

This has gone totally over my head I have no idea why it's a bird

Lyrics courtesy of this site

Gonna pack up all my care and woe,

Here I go swingin' low,

Bye bye blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me,

Sugar's sweet, so is she,

Bye bye blackbird.

No one here can love or understand me,

Oh what hard luck stories, they all hand me.

make my bed and light the light,

I’ll be home late tonight,

Blackbird, bye bye.

I’m gonna pack up all my cares and woe,

Here I go singin' low,

Bye bye blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me,

Sugar is sweet, so is he,

Bye bye blackbird.

No one here can love or understand me,

Oh what hard luck stories, they all hand me.

Make my bed and light the light,

I’ll be home late tonight

Blackbird, bye bye.

To be fair, the singer never talks about taking their "care and woe" with them.

WHAAA--

Thanks, though I think I liked it better when I thought it was just surreal.

It's the very first line you shared.

It is a joke on the lyrics of a Dean Martin Song: Bye Bye Blackbird.

Even though I know

I suppose I'll throw

All my cares and woes

OUT THE DOOOOOOOR!

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE I AM STILL JUST A RAT IN A CAGE

There are few things more satisfying than seeing something on the internet that I'm too young to understand.

Would have never known it had anything to do with a song, I just thought it was a mockingbird
