Caves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blood was my own pumping from my infant heart
I weighed myself and found myself wanting, wanting everything
Wanting everything is the thing that eventually tears you apart
Spend my days pushing Elvis' belly up Sirius' steep hills
Wanting everything is the everything that eventually kills
In the morning I attach my king sized shadow to my heels
Without my shadow I don't know just how the other half feels
And I say, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, yeah this time
I say hello, hello, hello, I say hello, hello, yeah this time
To stand in the dressing room with a mushroom cloud for a head
My king sized cock sticks out like I saw from a man along from a hotel bed
I wonder who I have to blow around here to get ahead
Wanting everything is the everything that eventually kills you dead
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know yeah, this time
I say hello, hello, hello, I say hello, hello, yeah this time
These king sized tears do not come free but beyond me
Drowning my eyes with floods of unexpected memories
Of a time of wanting, wanting it all, wanting everything
Yeah, stop now please you are not, well don't you see
And I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I say goodbye, goodbye yeah, this time
I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I say goodbye, goodbye yeah, this time
The lyrics of Caves’ song ‘Caves’ explore themes of ambition, desire, and self-destruction. The opening lines, “Born in a puddle of virgin's blood / Wanting everything,” suggest a character who is consumed by their own aspirations and the need to achieve. The line “Wanting everything is the thing that eventually tears you apart" further emphasizes that the desire to have it all can ultimately lead to one’s downfall.
The second verse paints a vivid picture of a character who is struggling with their own success. The image of standing in a dressing room with a “mushroom cloud for a head” suggests that the character’s ambition has overtaken them, causing mental and emotional turmoil. The line “wanting everything is the everything that eventually kills you dead” repeats the idea that the pursuit of success can have dire consequences.
The third verse introduces a sense of regret and longing. The line “These king sized tears do not come free but beyond me / Drowning my eyes with floods of unexpected memories” suggests that the character has achieved their goals but at a cost. They are haunted by memories of the past and the realization that their success has not brought them true happiness. The final lines of the song, “And I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,” suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance that they have reached their limit and must let go of their all-consuming ambition.
Overall, ‘Caves’ is a poignant reflection on the dangers of unchecked ambition and the toll it can take on one’s mental and emotional well-being.

I truly cannot overstate my appreciation of this channel.
Your voice, your visual style, and your writing are all phenomenal and simultaneously bring both peace and a quiet longing for more (both more out of life, and more of your work).
As a dissatisfied instrument of the system this video so sharply criticizes (I'm an investment banker), I increasingly find myself drawn to someplace quiet. I'm lonely but feel, maybe counterintuitively, that being alone would be an important first step to solving that problem.
As far as reconciling your criticisms with your position on the Internet, I think it's quite easy to do. Art for art's sake can and should exist in the system you've imagined. Much like the tree is more than green leaves and brown bark, the essence of the canvas where your art lives is more than the wires and signals that bring it to our eyes and ears.
Thank you for another powerful work of art.
