i know exactly what he is talking about. i've always looked at any religion as a cage. because once you climb into it and believe, you are no longer free to be open to everything. you've chosen a belief and thats where you'll stay. this is a beautiful song but he is really admitting that he is not free, ignorant, and locked in a cage-and that he doesn't care and will do anything to stay there. me personally... i might clean my cage, and the cages of others, but i carry the key to go in and come out. there is no higher value to me in life than freedom... god is not what we think. god doesn't point in one direction, but in all directions because god is the source of everything, it is a oneness. and it is known through love-the highest truth in this universe. remember... love is a oneness. how can you truly love someone when you are locked in a cage and they are locked in theirs? you cannot even touch each other. their will only be intellectual listening and intellectual listening is a kind of deafness. i may speak to you and you will mentally process my words, but because you are locked in a cage, and your walls are up, i have been left behind. you will only intellectually hear my words, then you will be stuck to your own opinion, your own opinion, your own cage. opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and everyone has a cage with walls all around. its up to us to make a door to freedom and go through it. but even with those walls up, i can still see a soul for who he is. its beautiful.
