Christina Aguilera - Birds Of Prey Meaning

Birds Of Prey Lyrics
Everything not quite what it seems to be
Slipping and falling through the looking glass
Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the masks
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want

I think it's about people who are manipulative and deceitful. You "only see what you want" when you are with these types of people, and do not see what "lies behind the mask" they are wearing.

‘Birds of Prey’ means to seize or take by force. Such as a hawk, you can see your prey at all time and catch it when the time is right. This song could be suggesting that Christina has the power to indulge in such activity such as a “maneater.” It could be an empowering song about women getting what they want when they want it. But the lyrics supply endless meanings as it is such a broad description.
