Cage - Depart From Me album cover

Cage – Depart From Me... Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

You left me so poor I couldn't pay to play
I filled my head with what I could to make it go away
Tears eventually cake up, inevitable break up
Laying in bed for days and then you wake up

I feel the strain, am I sane or am I just not gonna heal?
I just sit sick in the rain, a foundation trying to rebuild
Wanted demented bliss, created something amiss
I know I stormed in then bombed out but I'm not running from this

You started shrinking when my head fell apart
You slipped away, next time you see me you'll know how small you are
And now it's over, over, over, going over your head
It's really over, over, over, never hold you again

You don't think that I get it, I was the one who let it
Fall apart into pieces, you cut your foot when you jetted
Just swimming around in my head, not slowing down you said
All you need to say you can share it with the dude in your bed

You did your client career and then you started climbing
I thought it could be forever, not on my record you're dying
I got a lot rest at last, just let the world go past
Just let it go empty, I guess we just ran out of gas

You started shrinking when my head fell apart
You slipped away, next time you see me you'll know how small you are
And now it's over, over, over, going over your head
It's really over, over, over, never hold you again

And I guess I get sold out of what I had, this really wasn't your bag
Some lunatic that reminds you of your dad
I get you were slipping from my grasp, I just didn't get out fast
You were jumping to the future from my past

Flash, you were the one who erased it
I hope my replacement gives me time back I wasted
You knew it was so hard to see my brother dying so pardon me
You just apart from me, you ruined art for me

You started shrinking when my head fell apart
You slipped away, next time you see me you'll know how small you are
And now it's over, over, over, going over your head
It's really over, over, over, never hold you again

It's really over, over, over, going over your head
It's really over, over, over, never hold you again

    Just look at the artwork in the booklet for the cd you can tell that its coming from a very dark perspective. Perhaps different people from different perspectives.

    I think The songs about him getting over a girl which took a while and once he did... Well he became new and confident hence the name depart from me... Not sure if his brother died thoe.I listen to cage, alot of his songs are dark/subtly and meaningful but don't over think this one lol.

    the "brother" who died was Camu Tao. R.I.P. This is a great album and showed a completely new direction with not only his writing but in terms of beats and everything. I'll always love MFTB, but Depart From Me is a masterpiece.
