Lyrics

I'm a bird in a cage

I feel confined and restricted like a bird in a cage.

Been stuck here for days

Experiencing this sense of confinement for an extended period.

I wanna fly

Expressing a desire for freedom and the ability to soar.

Right outside the window

The desire to break free is just outside, visible through the window.

I'm a bird in a cage

Repetition of the feelings of being trapped and the longing for freedom.

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I wanna tell ya what I know

Expressing a wish to share personal insights or emotions.

I wanna send it to the clouds

Desire to communicate these thoughts metaphorically to a broader audience.

But as the weather come and go

Struggling to make sense of emotions amid changing circumstances.

I can't ever sort it out

Challenges in understanding and organizing one's thoughts.

And no one else may ever see

A sense of isolation in personal experiences and feelings.

What I got creeping up my sleeve

Suggesting hidden or undisclosed emotions or aspects.

So for now I'm in between

Feeling caught between conflicting emotions, restrained yet free.

Chained up and free

Metaphorically chained but still possessing a degree of freedom.

I'm a bird in a cage

Reiteration of the desire for freedom and the conflict between restraint and liberation.

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm a bird in a cage

-

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

Ooh another monster in my head

Introducing the metaphor of inner struggles and fears.

Another stranger in the house

-

Every skin I got to shed

-

Now, I'm afraid of losing count

-

And no one else may ever know

Emphasizing the loneliness of personal experiences and the overwhelming nature of thoughts.

What I see out the window

-

There is above, there is below

-

I overflow

-

I'm a bird in a cage

Repetition of the desire for freedom and the struggle against confinement.

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm a bird in a cage

-

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm right outside the window, darling

Expressing a breakthrough or finding a way to overcome barriers.

I found a way through the walls again

-

I'm right outside the window, darling

-

And we could go, we could go on

-

I'm right outside the window, darling

-

I found a way through the walls again

-

I'm right outside the window, darling

-

And we could go, we could go on

-

I'm a bird in a cage

Reiteration of the desire for freedom and breaking free from confinement.

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm a bird in a cage

-

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm a bird in a cage

Final repetition emphasizing the longing to fly outside the window and break free.

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window

-

I'm a bird in a cage

-

Been stuck here for days

-

I wanna fly

-

Right outside the window
