Sorry
Cox and the Riot Lyrics

The lyrics of Cox and the Riot's song "Sorry" reveal feelings of regret and fear over not fully realizing the possibilities of freedom and being caught up in a dysfunctional system. The first verse expresses a sense of remorse and a desire to rectify the situation: "I'm sorry, I didn't know what could be done / I'm sorry now, we'll turn the flow of freedom on." The second verse delves deeper into the fear of being trapped and how it affects the individual: "I'm so afraid I'll never see the light of day / I'm so afraid, the fractured flow will freeze our ways / I'm so caught up in this life." The chorus repeats the sentiment of apologies and a hope for change.

Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics explore the consequences of being caught up in the lies and illusions of the larger system. The singer is so confused by the actions of those in power and feels disconnected from the larger picture: "I'm so confused, the doers can't use what they've done / I'm so caught up in this lie." The final verses introduce a sense of detachment and a desire to break free from the barriers: "I'm so amused, their objects just can't hide the truth / I'm so outside of this lie / I'm so restored, frozen fingers such a bore / I'm so outside of their lives."

The lyrics of "Sorry" express a yearning for change within the self and larger systems. It highlights the importance of recognizing the lies and illusions that hold us back from true freedom and pushing for positive transformation.
