For years I've seen you fighting
aginst your heart
living like your dying
so far from the sun
wating for a guardian angel
to lead you through the dangers
that lie ahead on your way
twards tomorrows of
tears that turn from sweet to sour
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage
we all have our fears
but yours are the scariest of them all
lift your head and let us taste
the horror you adore
it all starts to make sense
all the blood wisely shed
just wait until the truth comes
knocking on your door
tears that turn from sweet to sour
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage your locked in
tears that turn from sweet to sour
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage youve locked yourself in
aginst your heart
living like your dying
so far from the sun
to lead you through the dangers
that lie ahead on your way
twards tomorrows of
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage
but yours are the scariest of them all
lift your head and let us taste
the horror you adore
it all starts to make sense
all the blood wisely shed
just wait until the truth comes
knocking on your door
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage your locked in
and hours to days
your hiding yourself away
from our cruel worlds in embrace
and as your days turn to weeks
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage
you will cry yourself to sleep
in the cage youve locked yourself in

wow. this song is awesome. period.
true.. this song is beautiful.
Love this song. beautiful lyrics.
I think that this song is about someone who is afraid of the world, afraid to get out of "the cage" because mabe this person was hurt in the past. this "cage" consists of this persons fears, insecureties, tears and all this other type of negativity and depression. blah blah blah...
"tears that turn from sweet to sour and hours to days your hiding yourself away from our cruel worlds in embrace and as your days turn to weeks you will cry yourself to sleep in the cage and as your days turn to weeks you will cry yourself to sleep in the cage youve locked yourself in"
This person is trapped within their own mind, their own body and their own heart. Trapped within themselves, unable to break free because they locked themselves in.
Thats exactly what I took it to mean. The cage is a personal sanctuary, somewhere this person has locked themselves to keep them protected from the harsh reality of the world. Someone who is too scared to face the world and open up. This song means so much to me, for years i was locked in my own little cage, and in a way i still am, but since listening to HIM i've started to open up a little more.
last 2 albums r awful i hate HIM since 'wings of a butterfly'
This is probably the best song on their horrible new album. Anyone else think their new album is really emo?
