[Intro] [Atmospheric synth pads building up] [Subtle electronic heartbeat] [Verse 1] The walls are shining, the light is warm We’re cradled in a silent storm A screen is flickering, the world seems far We’re following a hollow star Convenience is the heavy vine That tangles round a soul’s design They feed us sweetness, thick and deep And while we eat, we fall asleep [Chorus] Welcome to the golden cage of glass Where we forget what came to pass The chains are soft, you feel no weight A manufactured dream-like state Wake up, the gold is just a lie A painted cage against the sky [Verse 2] The news is flowing, a gentle stream Each word is tailored to the scheme We nod along to every beat And never question the deceit They offer safety for our soul In exchange for total control In a system built to use our breath While polishing the face of death [Chorus] Welcome to the golden cage of glass Where we forget what came to pass The chains are soft, you feel no weight A manufactured dream-like state Wake up, the gold is just a lie A painted cage against the sky [Instrumental Break] [Distorted synth solo, driving percussion, building tension] [Verse 3] Look behind the velvet screen See the world that stays unseen It’s not their power that holds us down It’s our silence in this town Tear the fabric, break the line Step away from their design The first step is to see the door You don’t have to stay here anymore [Bridge] [Slow down, stripped back instrumentation] See the bars? (The bars) Feel the weight? (The weight) Just one thought... To change your fate. [Instrumental Solo] [Powerful synth and guitar layer] [Outro] [Fading echoes] The cage is open. If you want it. Wake up. [End]
