Cage - Depart From Me album cover

Cage – I Never Knew You Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

You're always dying inside
That much closer to home
A crowded street corner
Surrounded by people, all alone
Pain in the heart
Rain in the dark
The womb is glum and bitter
She walks around the corner
It's like she brought the sun with her

Then everything just brightened up
I couldn't make this up
My fingers in my eyes as she walked by
Like I was waking up
In so many words
I couldn't string a sentence together to bother her
I instantly forgot all my plans and started to follow her

It's like the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy, but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me

Your legs are long and toned
You must be walking home
I love the way your lips move
When you're talking on your phone
Intoxicating, yet truly undue impurities
Plague every thought of you
While I'm trailing you like your security

Lost, we couldn't know our paths would cross
But time knew it
Feet sticking out the window of opportunity
Climbing through it
Pain for sale
Looking to find a new taker
Chance to speak blown
When you looked at me
I looked in the newspaper

Because the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy, but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me

I'm miles out of my way
Creepy, I want more
I was gonna turn back
But you stuck your key in your front door
I'm standing across the street
The stars that aligned us to meet
Standing outside with your trash
Feeling incomplete
My finger aching for your doorbell
Like a random blog
Instead I lurk outside in the cold
Like an abandoned dog
Perish the thought
You should cherish the words that I got in my mouth
The only words that can truly explain how I got in your house

Because the sky opened and God handed you directly to me
I know it sounds crazy, but so is life, I'm sinking
And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me
Unlikely, impossible, I couldn't dream to think it
There's something happening between us, you can't deceive
I'm so in over my head I've learned to breathe in it
Your eyes are screaming and they're saying "Oh, baby" to me
If there was a way out I think you would've taken it
My hands and arms are the only way that you can leave
Face to face for the first time you feel what I'm feeling
Selfishly no longer breathing
Because
Of me

    Definately my favourite song. I guess I wouldn't put it past him but I don't think this song is about a serial killer/rapist. "And so many words I couldn't string a sentence together to bother her. I instantly forgot all my plans and started to follow her" That sounds more like a infatuation issue then his want to kill her. "There's something happening between us you can't deceive" he sounds more lovestruck, maybe heartbroken. "Face to face for the first time you feel what I'm feeling" She breaks his heart, he confronts her, his psychopathy takes over and he kills her, perhaps. "Selfishly no longer breathing because of me." That line could lean towards suicide too. There are to many ways this song could go. It totally makes sense though, the whole killer scenario.

    I wanna be that girl for him. xoxo, Syd-DeliciousWhoah- what is this seventy-five character requirement? Kinda wack cuz I said what I had to say. Hmmm. I do believe his love/lust was so strong that he had to break in and just take her finally. I like the broken door at edge of camera view.
