you cage, you cage
you can sleep me down
once called from above, I sport your love
I spurn your hotel
I wear your hotel
so you own ugly hats, you wear them well
I wish the mood wouldn't hang so low
hang over home, hang so
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, the metaphor of being caged is applied in the song of Throwing Muses 'You Cage' to the feelings of entrapment and confinement in either relationship or situation. Longing for freedom and a wish to be liberated from those restrictions, that are personified by the recurrent cages and the want for the moon not to hang so low, are indicated in the lyrics. The song 'You Cage' mainly deals with love, angst, heartbreak, despair, and reflection. Simultaneously, it highlights the paradox of love, entrapment, and longing. Offensive language, mature themes, and violence, nudity, or drug use are not present in the lyrics. All are welcome to listen to them as they are suitable for everyone.
