Lyric discussion by Medibot 

Cover art for This Is Yesterday lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

This song makes me feel caged, like I want to burst out of my life.

It reminds me of a caged tiger.

I think it's about nihilism , about giving up and abdicating respnsilbilty to someone else. The lyric is at odds with the the almost joyful melody. Amazing song.
