The Cave
Mumford & Sons Lyrics

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

'Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

‘Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's land

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

‘Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

This song makes me cry

To me this song means a lot, I am a survivor, a survivor of anxiety, depression..

And cancer.
I hide all my feelings and I need to come out of MY cave. When I was little I told my dad I took a depression test and had 98% (Severe Depression) and because I hid my feelings for a while actually, he said “No, your to happy” I ran to my room and started crying and saying to myself “This is what you get for not telling him sooner, you deserve this” I ran away from home and ran into the woods, I found someone doing suicide and they tied themselves on a rope, and died, it had been the worst day of my life, I ran back home and my dad found me running in, of corse he got mad and started yelling, he didn’t listen to what I said, he just yelled. At the time I had no friends but the next day at school, there was someone new in the class, we got to know each other and up to this day, we are still best friends, and we sing this song to each other when we’re feeling down ever since we were little, it sounds childish to others but when you do something for a while, you stick to it. We actually live together in an apartment and I’m at my first year in collage, I’m stressed about it, but it’s working out, and she has a part time job at McDonald’s.

I hope whoever is reading this has a great day!

When this song was on the radio I was living alone with my alcoholic mother. When we finally got evicted she lied to me and told me we had to move in with her boyfriend (who I barely knew) because she had a stalker, and that we'd have to empty my bank account to do it. I was working for barely more than minimum wage at the time. I knew she was lying because that's just what she did. I packed my stuff into my car, ignored her screaming the whole time, and drove off and that was the last time I saw her for 2 years. This song came on just as I was getting on the highway.

Today I'm doing very well: I have a good job and a nice apartment and I'm learning how to cultivate healthy relationships. And to this day I still can't hear this song without breaking down in tears: for me it commemorates the single biggest turning point in my life.

I was with a very abusive man during Covid 2019- 2021. I was so stuck and this song was the only thing that made me feel free and understood. I'm just reuniting with it now and I am full of tears, strength and love. I hope artists like this know the power they have to help those who feel so alone during hard times. 💓

@HypersPeak I noticed the parallels when he was speaking about the sirens calls.. but I think it was being used as a metaphor here for drug addiction whether that be for one of the members or someone one of the members was taking care of.

I joined the Mumford and Sons fan group way to late. I only discovered them about 6 months ago. They deserved so much more fame then they got. They put so much passion into their music. They don’t sing terrible lyrics like the current pop singers do. They made deep lyrics like Simon and Garfunkel used to. Their current music just isn’t the same. There are some good ones like forever, but it is missing the vibe these old songs have. I don’t know if there are many people like me, just wishing they could have been around to hear them play their old songs like where are you now or there will be time. I doubt there will ever be a band quite like them again.

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
'Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

back in 2014 asked a friend of mine to recommend some bangers and he recommended this song it was a very emotional when I heard it for the first time as I was working illegally to help my family plus danger of getting deported from Saudi Arabia " born there" at any time. today I'm safe and sound in London living my life as I always dreamed of not thinking of how much of a Shithole Saudi Arabia was.

@Joshua David You’re right of course, though I disagree with you though about the user’s comment intent. He said ‘shithole’ and took the thing off track IMO. Due to my social niche, I’ve heard that guy’s story many times from many people and always with offensive overtones. I have never been there and don’t even know if it’s nice, I only know that many people wish to live there but legally can’t, and so ultimately resort to name calling and superficial criticisms. I seem to have developed an irk about it, while to others it seems very trivial. I am sure you have those too. Thank you for the reminder to rise above knee jerk emotional reactions on Internet forums cuz you’re right.

@Mr Susan Saudi is actually very tolerant of western religious doctrines. Even welcoming. When I was a child in Najmah Camp in Saudi, at Christmas, some of the Muslim men would dress as Santa and his helpers, fill a huge bag with toys, and go door to door bringing presents to the kids. As a white, blonde haired, green eyed, patriotic American living in a multi-cultural environment, I can tell you that I have many wonderful memories from my time there. I promise you that the reality is very different than the television would lead you to believe.

Joshua David

14w↑1

@Ibrahim Khatib Hmmm...Saudi is a beautiful country, though I feel like you're making something of the users comment that it isn't. I think he's just providing a marker in his timeline for his experience with the song. Didn't you come here to listen to the song? So, why become so irritated by another user's comment and give a response that has nothing to do with the song? Smh.

One of the great things about these guys is that they have a sound that has remained very similar throughout. The singer is not your typical popstar ( but certainly more so than ed Sheeran) but he steps up to the plate nevertheless and the end result is always pretty highly emotional and always lots of banjo, good stuff!!!

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
'Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

I know I’m way too late for this but I needed to say something, with is my favourite song, as it was my sister‘s, she isn’t here anymore so whenever I hear this song it brings her back for a little while and I feel like she’s singing it with me, and I cannot thank you guys enough for making such a song, thank you for bringing my best friend back to life, even if only for a few minutes, I would never be able to repay you for this debt.

@Chris D Thank you, your words mean everything

I'm sorry about your sister Kota. But I'm sure she's happy that you found a way to constantly remember her, even in the afterlife.

What stood out to me about this song when I first heard it was the lines: "So tie me to a post and block my ears, I can see the widows and orphans through my tears, I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears...So make your siren's call, and sing all you want, I will not hear what you have to say." I always thought it drew inspiration from Greek myth, specifically in Homer's Odyssey when Odysseus, on his long journey home to his wife and son in Ithaca, lashed himself to the mast of his boat as his men (with wax stuffed in their ears to deafen them) sailed past the Isle of the man-eating Sirens.

Going on instant repeat. How can I have only listened to this for the first time today (I am 61). Just brilliant. I am fighting cancer but am dancing around the apt and am going to get my guitar out (MISS my banjo-just wanna stomp!)
