JOHNNY CASH

- Rusty Cage Lyrics

You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs

I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a Phillips head Into my brain
It's gonna be too dark
To sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains,
I'm gonna break my Rusty cage and run

When the forest burns
Along the road Like God's eyes In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And it's raining icepicks
On your steel shore

I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

What is the meaning behind Rusty Cage lyrics?


When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, a rusty cage in 'Rusty Cage' symbolizes the hardships of life and the human feeling of being constrained and imprisoned, which is the very reason why breaking free is depicted as a powerful need for liberation and resuming one's rights even with great challenges ad uncertainties to face. Cash's 'Rusty Cage' mainly talks about liberation, self-assertion, rage, restlessness, and, though finally, despair and waiting for better times. The lyrics, however, do so with an invitation to struggle for liberation, showing the virtues of being strong and even desperate.
