We Are Grey Matter Lyrics
Call response (x3)
My mind's gone blank
I love this cage so I'm not gonna rattle
And I've spent my life with these four walls
The walls are heaven-sent
The nickel and mortar and the cracks in them
Have long since been removed
And through the foggy mist I'm sure I can
I can but recollect
I paid for each brick here
Let me make this fucking clear
I've got a limit attached to my leg
With all the time inside my head
The failure of the superego
Let me make things comfortable
But if you look inside my eyes
You'll see the swirling mist is blind
Another scrum with dimwits at the helm
And I still recall
With your help
A time when
We looked around
And we were not the only ones
To be excited
To be violent
To be free
Well let me make this loud now
I won't accept a pitied child
So quick to listen
With a metal pulse and phoney charming smile
And the critics at the sail
Would be an insult to what we have tried to create
We are the membranes and the foetal canals
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry
We are the membranes and the foetal canals
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry
And I've spent my life with these four walls
The walls are heaven-sent
The nickel and mortar and the cracks in them
Have long since been removed
And through the foggy mist I'm sure I can
I can but recollect
I paid for each brick here
And I've spent my life
With sound advice
In solitude
In black and white
We are the membranes and the foetal canals
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry
My mind's gone blank
I love this cage so I'm not gonna rattle
The walls are heaven-sent
The nickel and mortar and the cracks in them
Have long since been removed
And through the foggy mist I'm sure I can
I can but recollect
I paid for each brick here
I've got a limit attached to my leg
With all the time inside my head
The failure of the superego
But if you look inside my eyes
You'll see the swirling mist is blind
Another scrum with dimwits at the helm
With your help
A time when
We looked around
And we were not the only ones
To be excited
To be violent
To be free
I won't accept a pitied child
So quick to listen
With a metal pulse and phoney charming smile
And the critics at the sail
Would be an insult to what we have tried to create
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry
The walls are heaven-sent
The nickel and mortar and the cracks in them
Have long since been removed
And through the foggy mist I'm sure I can
I can but recollect
I paid for each brick here
With sound advice
In solitude
In black and white
You'll bleed for the surprise
We'll trap your worlds in a coffin of spite
We'll bleed your worlds dry

it's about thinking too much and the effects that can have on you. it's told from the person's perspective and also from his brain's perspective
I disagree actually. I personally see it as someone who's trapped inside their own mind. They refuse to leave their cage because they feel safe in their little world. They've admitted to causing this to themselves and yet they feel as if they made the right choice.
"Failure of the superego" Sigmund Freud's theory of the id, ego and super ego. Super ego is the moral part of the the human psyche
