Ribcage Lyrics
Nothing left, now I'm feeling numb
And just like you, I couldn't love someone
There is no one, I can belong to
Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
On the path never leading home
Cut it out from my flesh and bone
And I feel like, I can't see anything
Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
Used to be, I had light
I had fire in my chest
Oh, but now I'm all out
And I've got nothing left
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
And just like you, I couldn't love someone
There is no one, I can belong to
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
Cut it out from my flesh and bone
And I feel like, I can't see anything
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
I had fire in my chest
Oh, but now I'm all out
And I've got nothing left
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

Andy explained this song in an interview as being about feeling jaded.
To me, at first glance the lyrics are about feeling heartbroken and or unloved.
"Nothing left, now I'm feeling numb And just like you, I couldn't love someone There is no one, I can belong to"
Then there's the chorus which is about trying to keep yourself safe by considering yourself closed off or to have no heart.
"Nothing in the cage of my ribcage Got no heart to break, like it that way"
I'm sure there are other people that can relate to this song in different circumstances too.
