Plumb's 'Cage' is a raw, honest confession of failure and a plea for acceptance. The singer admits to making mistakes and feeling broken, yet resists being defined by them. She describes herself as a 'wild thing' that cannot be tamed or confined, needing love rather than judgment. The song captures the tension between vulnerability and the desire for freedom, acknowledging personal issues while asserting that these flaws are part of what makes her lovable. It's a heartfelt expression of the human struggle for grace and understanding, resonating with themes of redemption and unconditional love.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I did a really stupid thing
I really messed up big time
Please forgive me
I crash and burn and bleed
And now I am dead
Okay, not really
I know you wanna drag me
To the ground
And tell me how I messed up
And to sit down
And that's not me
But it's just my fault
Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage
I am fearless when I see you
I am crazy happy lucky
If you're close by
A basketful of sunshine
'Til I'm uninspired
And then I die
Oh why you wanna pretend
That I'm fine
That everything's okay
One day I'll get it right
Well that's not me
And that's all your fault
Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage
Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Let me out, let me out
Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage
