Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Rat in a Cage: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
The world is depicted as a draining force, possibly causing harm.
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
There are hidden forces that aim to harm and expose you to difficulties.
And what do I get, for my pain?
Questioning the reward for enduring pain and suffering.
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Feeling deceived and only receiving a small part of life's experiences.
Even though I know--I suppose I'll show
Despite awareness, the speaker intends to display composure and indifference.
All my cool and cold-like old job
Comparing oneself to a past job, emphasizing detachment and coldness.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Expressing frustration and a sense of powerlessness, feeling like a trapped creature.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped despite inner turmoil.
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Suggesting that some losses are irreversible and cannot be reclaimed.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the theme of feeling trapped despite inner turmoil.
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, reduced to a primal state.
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
Questioning the authenticity of one's actions for public display.
And what do you want? I want to change
Expressing a desire for personal transformation.
And what have you got?
Posing a question about possessions or accomplishments.
When you feel the same
When experiencing similar emotions, possessions, or situations.
Even though I know--I suppose I'll show
Despite awareness, the speaker intends to display composure and indifference.
All my cool and cold-like old job
Comparing oneself to a past job, emphasizing detachment and coldness.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped despite inner turmoil.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the theme of feeling trapped despite inner turmoil.
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Suggesting that some losses are irreversible and cannot be reclaimed.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped despite inner turmoil.
Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other one
Seeking reassurance and validation as the only significant person.
Jesus was an only son
Referencing religious figures to emphasize uniqueness.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Desiring confirmation of being the chosen one.
Jesus was an only son for you
Connecting personal significance to the sacrifice of a religious figure.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped despite inner turmoil.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the theme of feeling trapped despite inner turmoil.
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Suggesting that some losses are irreversible and cannot be reclaimed.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped despite inner turmoil.
Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other one
Seeking reassurance and validation as the only significant person.
Jesus was an only son
Referencing religious figures to emphasize uniqueness.
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
Expressing a persistent belief in personal damnation.
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
Reiteration of the belief in personal damnation.
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
-And I still believe that I cannot be saved
