Ribcage Lyrics

Nothing left, now I'm feeling numb
And just like you, I couldn't love someone
There is no one, I can belong to

Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

On the path of never leading home
Cut it out from my flesh and bone
And I feel like, I can't see anything

Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence, (innocence)

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Used to be, I had light
I had fire in my chest
Oh, but now I'm all out
And I've got nothing left

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Got no heart to break, like it that way
Nothing in the cage of my ribcage
Emptiness is safe, keep it that way

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

What is the Meaning of Ribcage?

This emotionally charged track delves into the idea of emotional numbness and isolation. The artist uses the metaphor of an empty ribcage to symbolize a heart that's been so broken it no longer exists, thus he feels safe in his emptiness as there's no heart left to break 💔. The repeated refrain "Nothing in the cage of my ribcage" emphasizes this state of emotional desolation. The lyrics also touch on loss of innocence and a longing for a past self "Used to be, I had light". It's a poignant exploration of how pain and heartbreak can lead one to shut down emotionally to protect themselves from further harm 🛡️. #EmotionalNumbness #Heartbreak #LossOfInnocence #SelfProtection
