about

A Faraday Cage protects the things inside the cage, usually electronics. For me, and this song, it's a metaphor for the protection everybody needs from the assaults of daily life. We're gonna be ok.

lyrics

Lately, I’m feeling bulletproof
While seven kinds of hell rain on my roof
The color of wavelengths that I can’t see
And they’re bouncing off the walls inside of me

Now, I got a fever I can’t feel
I can’t even tell what’s wrong or what is real
Been living a dream that’s running dry
Am I giving up on me or just the fight?

I tried hiding underground
But the dust and bones could only bring me down

But that’s all over now, I’ve had all I can allow
I’ve been looking at the world in a new way
That’s all over now, I’ve taken all I can allow
Nothing left to prove here anyway
All over now, all over now

I know I’ve been bleeding, but it’s alright
All good cuts will heal in all good time
And where it’s been leading, I’ll never see
But it’s bouncing all around inside of me

I tried hiding under ground
But the dust and bones could only bring me down

That’s all over now, I’ve taken all I can allow
Nothing left to prove here any way
All over now, all over now

And my hands are resonating, electricity and blood
And my heart is emanating every easy kind of love
I hear the breathing of a man who’s twice my age
Safe within the walls of my Faraday Cage
