Dead
The Leak Bros. (Cage & Tame One) Lyrics

The lyrics of The Leak Bros. (Cage & Tame One)'s song "Dead in 2-3" seem to be about a cycle of violence and the desire to be a participant in it. The opening line "See your life as a gimmick" suggests that the singer sees their life as a kind of performance that they are participating in. The metaphor of an elastic gimmick that excites them once they're in the cycle suggests that the violence they're engaging in is addictive and has a powerful hold on them. The repetition of "The cycle excites them" reinforces this idea, as does the line "In order to have their share of the carnage."

However, there is a sense that the singer is somewhat aware of the destructive nature of their actions. The line "But listen well, fly like the phoenix in its holy cycle" suggests that there is a way to rise above the violence and destruction they are participating in. The phrase "high tech fury" suggests that the cycle of violence is being fueled by modern technology and advanced weaponry.

The closing lines, "The beast comes out of its cage, tears the pages to get its share of the carnage," further emphasize the idea that the singer sees themselves as an integral part of the cycle of violence. The reference to tearing pages could suggest a desire to destroy records or evidence of their actions, or it could be a metaphor for destroying anything that stands in their way.
