Flowers & Cages
Josh Todd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The battle has just begun
Art of war!
Open up your dreams and find a way
Awake the morning screaming in your face
Feel the poison sweeping through your veins
I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down
Flowers and Cages avail yourself
Seven sins found and no you re not the first
Six feet down Flowers and Cages
Safe in my cocoon beneath the waves
A colorful description of your fate
I smell the flowers sometimes in the air
I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down
Flowers and Cages heaven and earth freedom
Flowers and Cages avail yourself
Seven sins found and no you re not the first
Six feet down Flowers and Cages
The battle has just begun
The battle has just begun
The battle has just begun
The battle has just begun
Come on
The battle has just begun
Art of war
Seize the moment standing in the way
The picture doesn t quite fit in the frame
Out of turn you talk without a sound
I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down
Flowers and Cages heaven and earth freedom
Flowers and Cages avail yourself
Seven sins found and no you re not the first
Six feet down Flowers and Cages
Flowers and Cages avail yourself
Awake the morning screaming in your face
Flowers and Cages
Seize the moment standing in the way
Flowers and Cages
I smell the flowers sometimes in the air
Flowers and Cages
Art of War!
The song "Flowers & Cages" by Josh Todd is an intense depiction of the struggle of life and freedom. The repeated line, "The battle has just begun" sets the tone for the song, indicating that the struggle is ongoing and just beginning. The metaphor of "Flowers & Cages" symbolizes the duality of life, where there is beauty and imprisonment at the same time. The opening lines suggest that to win the battle, one needs to have the "Art of War" which implies being strategic and resourceful.
The verses depict the physical and mental struggle of the battle, as the singer feels the poison spreading in their veins and being buried six feet under. They find solace in their own cocoon beneath the waves, which could be interpreted as finding a safe space within oneself. The repeated line, "I'll lay you down" could be perceived as the singer surrendering to the struggle, or it could be interpreted as a threat to their oppressors.
