Fortress
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He needs to hide, to keep independency.
The race is on, it can't be won.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
for what you're here.
The pain inside, disappoinments everyday.
To keep his pride he can't find a better way (than)
to lock his mind, though he'll lose life.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress in you head, oh.
A fortress caging in,
unreal behind your grin.
Security is lie,
a fortress caging in until you die.
The lyrics to Rage's song "Fortress" talks about the walls that we build within ourselves as a defense mechanism. The singer in the song has built a wall inside himself to defend and hide, which ultimately leads to his loneliness and disconnectedness. He believes that he needs to keep himself hidden to maintain his independence, but this only causes him pain and disappointment in everyday life. Despite this, he continues to lock his mind because he fears losing his pride, thus leading to him living and eventually dying in his self-imprisonment.
The lyrics carry a deep message about self-preservation that is relatable to many people. Most of us have built walls around ourselves at some point in our lives to protect us emotionally, which ultimately leads to our isolation. By building such walls, we cage ourselves in unreal security, which stops us from experiencing the world around us fully.
