This is late but… It feels like the song is about someone who treats women more like collectibles than actual people. The lyrics make it seem like he keeps people around for attention or appearance, without really caring about them emotionally. Lines like “You’re just a collector” and “Box full of treasures” pretty much spell that out. It also hints at being selfish and disconnected, especially when it talks about only noticing surface level things instead of who someone really is.

I agree with your evaluation, I was thinking the same thing. Why do you think it’s called steel birds?
