Dead
Cage and Tame One Lyrics

The lyrics of Cage and Tame One's song "Dead in 2-3" are full of vivid images and metaphors that connect with the theme of destruction and its effect on human behaviour. The song starts with the line "Vois ta vie cômme un gimmick," which means "See your life as a gimmick." This image suggests that life is just a game, a show that we put on for others to watch. The line "Le genre de gimmick élastique qui une fois dans le cycle l'excite" translates to "The type of elastic gimmick that, once in the cycle, excites." Here the lyrics compare life to an elastic gimmick, meaning that we are repeatedly stretched and pulled by life, and each time we feel more alive and stimulated.

The cycle mentioned in the lyrics refers to our never-ending pursuit of pleasure and how it can often lead to destruction. The line "Afin d'avoir sa part du carnage" translates to "In order to have our share of the carnage." This reveals that the ultimate goal of this cycle is to experience mayhem, which leads to an adrenaline rush. The lyrics then shift focus to how we should approach life, suggesting that we should try to remain calm and composed like a phoenix, which can soar high above the chaos.

The last part of the song talks about a "high-tech fury" that is unleashed when the beast is let out of its cage. This image suggests that technology can be a tool for destruction if not handled properly. The lyrics "Lacère les pages afin d'avoir sa part du carnage" are repeated four times in a row, with the translation being "Tear the pages to have your share of the carnage." This line can be interpreted in a few ways, including how it relates to the destructive power of technology and how people can become more aggressive and violent when exposed to its influence.
