Cage the Elephant – Back Against The Wall Lyrics 15 years ago
i think the song about the industry exploiting his talent or underground non commercial artist
because in the music video gnomes are guards for mine or under ground treasurers and in the video he trys to burn the gnomes destroy them but they end up destroying them

now look at it as the gnomes the industry and he the underground artist (under ground treasure)
he thinks he rocking out about how he like wont conform or what not to the industry but it turns around and bites him in the ass and makes a record label millions ..... maybe thats why he says my tounge now has become a platform for your lies

thake my take on this songs meaning
