CAGE

I wrote this song today as part of a FAWM challenge. I really like how it turned out and wanted to share it with all my fellow BIAB users here. The challenge was to use the chords of your song to spell out the title or theme of your song. Being that there are only 8 chord letters (and maybe a few others if you get creative with your chords) it really is quite an interesting and challenging concept. I decided to use CAGE as my inspiration. Not 4 chords that you hear used all together very often but it actually came out very nice I think.

I decide that the chord structure for this tune called for more of a rock feel. So I found a kind of indie rock style that worked and ran with it. Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:
I feel like I’m stuck in a cage.
I feel like I can’t get away.
I need to get out of here.
I need to stop living in fear.

I wanna jump the sun and ride the moon.
I wanna go too far and get there to soon.
I wanna ride a rocket ship into outer space
So don’t treat me like a rat and lock me away.

I feel like I’m stuck in a cage.
I feel like I can’t get away.
I need to get out of here.
I need to stop living in fear.

I wanna go around the world in 80 days.
I wanna be a criminal and save the day.
So don’t put me on a shelf and throw away the key
Just open up the door and set me free.

(Solo)

I feel like I’m stuck in a cage.
I feel like I can’t get away.
I feel like I’m stuck in a cage.
I feel like I can’t get away.
