Country singer, songwriter and musician Tyler Childers’ song Feathered Indians is undoubtedly his best-known work.

Childers’ album Purgatory featured the song upon its initial release in 2017, but some fans are still curious about the song’s origins and meaning.

Now that the song has gained popularity on Twitter, let’s take a closer look at the lyrics.

The Meaning of “Feathered Indians” by Tyler Childers

The Feathered Indians represent Tyler and a lover who the musician previously knew had a passionate love affair.

According to Sharpens, the song’s title refers to the marks left by Tyler’s belt buckle on his lover’s thighs after a passionate embrace. The artist has previously sold belt buckles depicting feathered Indians as part of his professional attire and is known for wearing a red man’s belt chewing tobacco.

The lyrics of the song read;

Well, my curl makes an impression
Inside her thigh
There are little feathered Indians
Where we fought all night

In one of the songs, the guitarist sang: “If I knew she was religious, I wouldn’t have gotten high.” » Too shitty to go home, I went to such an angel.

Tyler continues, “She asked if no one told you these things were bad for you,” while he and his spiritual partner “looked out at West Virginia and smoked booze on the roof.”

What does the chorus mean?

The chorus of the song continues:

Hold me tight, my love

Sing your whispered song

Soft to my ear

And I will sing with you

Darling, tell me how your love comes true

And how I can always count on you

Be there when the bullets fly

I would run across the river just to hold you tonight

Here, the singer begs his lover to take him in his arms and sing a tender melody softly into his ear. He promises to sing with her and keep her company. This shows Tyler’s willingness to do anything to earn her love and trust forever.

The lover is then questioned by the singer about the depth of her love for him. He wants her to promise him that she will always be by his side no matter what. He is curious to know if she will protect him from bullets – a metaphor for difficult times – and if she will always love him. He then admits that he would sprint across water if he had to hold her hand tonight.
