Locked In a Cage
Brick Mortar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaves turn blue and the sky green
A little drop of dreams can go so far
I know you've got the anger of a burning sun
Say hold up just a minute, don't burn me down
If you burn me down you'll never find your way
If you burn me down, it's true, a little drop of dreams

Locked in a cage, for a really long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a really long time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time

Locked in a cage
Locked in a cage

All this time I've been lied to
You're always in between, I go too far
You know I got the anger of a burning sun
Say hold up just a minute, don't burn me now
If you burn me down you'll never find your way
If you burn me down, it's true, a little drop of dreams

Locked in a cage, for a really long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a really long time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time

Locked in a cage
Locked in a cage

Show us all what we have earned
We'll keep your words and show the world
A drop of dreams is all it takes
A drop of dreams to show, to show the world, to show the world
A drop of dreams to show the world
So show us all what we have earned
We'll keep your words to show

Locked in a cage, for a really long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time
Locked in a cage, for a really long time
Locked in a cage, for a long time, time, time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brick Mortar's song Locked In a Cage refer to the feeling of being trapped, both physically and mentally. The first verse talks about how reality seems distorted (leaves turn blue, sky is green) and how holding onto even a small bit of hope (a little drop of dreams) can make all the difference. The second verse speaks to the idea of being lied to and feeling like you've gone too far, while still acknowledging the anger that burns inside (anger of a burning sun). The chorus repeats the idea of being locked in a cage for a really long time, emphasizing the feeling of isolation and desperation that comes with being trapped.


The bridge, however, shifts the focus to hope and the possibility of breaking free. By showing what has been earned and keeping the words of the dreamer, a drop of dreams can be shown to the world. This implies that even small acts of hope and determination can make a big impact, even if the immediate future still looks bleak. The repetition of the phrase "locked in a cage" throughout the song drives home the sense of entrapment, while the bridge offers a way out.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to action to break free from oppressive institutions and ideologies, encouraging listeners to hold onto even a small amount of hope in order to eventually find their way out.
