Ribcage Lyrics

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.
