Don’t Look Back
Born Cages Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'




Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Come gather 'round people
Come together people, listen closely


Wherever you roam
It doesn't matter where you come from


And admit that the waters
Realize that the situation around you


Around you have grown
Has become larger and more complicated


And accept it that soon
Acknowledge that soon


You'll be drenched to the bone
You will experience consequences beyond your control


If your time to you
If you feel your life is important


Is worth savin'
Is worth protecting


Then you better start swimmin'
You should start moving and taking action


Or you'll sink like a stone
Otherwise, you will fail to adapt and struggle


For the times they are a-changin'
The situation is constantly changing and evolving
