TRY TO CAGE ME

A defiant anthem about breaking free — heavy, cinematic, and built for anyone who refuses to be held down.

LINER NOTES

This was the first song where Chain Strikers stopped asking permission. We wrote it in a rehearsal room with the amps too loud and the windows shaking, chasing the exact moment a quiet kid decides he is done being told to sit down.

The artwork came before the final mix — a winged figure tearing chains apart — and it ended up shaping how we played it: bigger, meaner, more cinematic. It is a song about pressure, and about what happens when you stop letting it win.

You can chain the body. You can't cage the noise.

LYRICS

Original lyrics — same in every language.

No matter what I say You'd better stay away Nothing to reclaim (Have you?) Have you ever played this game? I've had enough of your lies No more live on this disguise Try to cage me Try to cage me Try to cage me Try to cage me If you can! Turn it off, nothing left Now it's the time That I will become the king before I die Feed me with your fantasies Do what you do best I'll never get down on my knees You know, I've got no regrets! Try to cage me Try to cage me Try to cage me Try to cage me If you can! If you can!
