lyrics
for there's no cage big enough to control
or accomodate the human soul
in all it's crashes, all it's flights
in all it's dephts and all it's heights.
but then why do i let these bars lock me out from my insides
and my instinctive points of view?
i thought i defeated conditioning,
but it won by knockout in round two.
for there's no cage small enough to break
what's barely keeping you awake,
what slows the beating in your chest
and prepares you for eternal rest.
so why do you let these walls lock you in from the outside
and it's complicated life?
while simplicity and comfort
will never encourage you to strive...
...for something more fulfilling,
for something less mundaine,
for reasons that get you moving
towards exits, out of breath
redefining sane and insane.
because the values we hold on to
and defend
will not become our issues
until we try to make them end
and all this blindly trusting habits
without questioning ourselves
resembles mindless cut and paste
and lets potential go to waste.
or accomodate the human soul
in all it's crashes, all it's flights
in all it's dephts and all it's heights.
but then why do i let these bars lock me out from my insides
and my instinctive points of view?
i thought i defeated conditioning,
but it won by knockout in round two.
for there's no cage small enough to break
what's barely keeping you awake,
what slows the beating in your chest
and prepares you for eternal rest.
so why do you let these walls lock you in from the outside
and it's complicated life?
while simplicity and comfort
will never encourage you to strive...
...for something more fulfilling,
for something less mundaine,
for reasons that get you moving
towards exits, out of breath
redefining sane and insane.
because the values we hold on to
and defend
will not become our issues
until we try to make them end
and all this blindly trusting habits
without questioning ourselves
resembles mindless cut and paste
and lets potential go to waste.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸
