It’s always the same
I’m the only one who’s always left to blame
Take what you can take
Hurt is your only idea of a game
To break away
I don’t have that within me
And I’m not your prey
So I bite the hand that feeds me
When all you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
chorus:
When I look in the mirror
All that I see
A zoo animal that wants to be free
Just get away, get away from me
‘Cause I’ll never be who you want me to be
It’s always the same
It’s not easy to keep myself contained
Sit back and relax
How can I when I’m going down in flames?
‘Cause all you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
Get away, get away, get away, get away
All you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
When I look in the mirror
I just want to be free
I want to be free
I just want to be free
I’m the only one who’s always left to blame
Take what you can take
Hurt is your only idea of a game
To break away
I don’t have that within me
And I’m not your prey
So I bite the hand that feeds me
And put me
You put me in a cage
When I look in the mirror
All that I see
A zoo animal that wants to be free
Just get away, get away from me
‘Cause I’ll never be who you want me to be
It’s not easy to keep myself contained
Sit back and relax
How can I when I’m going down in flames?
And put me
You put me in a cage
And put me
You put me in a cage
I just want to be free
I want to be free
I just want to be free

To me, this is about an intellect's reaction to being ruled and constrained by the animal that embodies it, and whose urges and instincts it must follow.
