Mind Cage
Coptic Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To release the empty freedom
Golden numbers fill the boredom
A huddle place sucked all out.
With no strength against the wave
Water gashes pitch black sign
On this sickly bit of deserted land
Once so full, needs a helping hand.
Stole my life
Emptiness increasing
In this cage of mind
Life stream bewails far reaching silver screen
On fire with the passionate embraces
The pantheon of stars and muses now collapses down…
Attention to the aura of mystery
Where sadness found a place to be
This legend near by guilt is hidden down
Like treasured fear
The lyrics of Coptic Rain's song "Mind Cage" evoke a sense of loneliness and desperation, with the singer feeling trapped within their own mind. The opening verse speaks of being "alone and just a scream away" from releasing their inner turmoil and achieving a sense of freedom. The mention of "golden numbers" filling the boredom suggests a longing for something more meaningful and fulfilling, but the singer's surroundings (perhaps a "huddle place sucked all out") seem to drain them of energy and hope. The imagery of being unable to resist a powerful wave and the water leaving behind a "pitch black sign" only adds to the sense of despair.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a more poetic and abstract tone. The line "life stream bewails far reaching silver screen" seems to reference the fleeting nature of life and the constant barrage of images and emotions that bombard us. The mention of a "pantheon of stars and muses" hints at a fascination with celebrities and artists, but this too is revealed to be a passing fancy as the "legend near by guilt is hidden down". In the end, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the sadness that permeates the singer's existence.
