Empty Cages

Dan Fogelberg

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Waiting in the wings your courage sings before you falter It’s just another way to say what’s there but never shows It’s just another day to lay your sins before the altar And where it’s going to end this time around nobody knows [Verse 2] Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales Waking from a dream you see it’s all been done without you And every vain attempt to make it stay is destined to fail [Chorus] Fu-ry ra-ges through your restless days Shades of time that’s gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays ’Til the door swings closed behind for evermore Evermore Evermore [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden And see just as we learn to turn around the garden is gone [Chorus] Fu-ry ra-ges through your restless days Shades of time that’s gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays ’Til the door swings closed behind for evermore Evermore Evermore [Outro] [Fade]

Cette chanson évoque les luttes internes de l'âme humaine face aux défis de la vie. Elle parle de la recherche de courage et de compréhension tout en confrontant les échecs et les désillusions. Alors que l'on aspire à la liberté, on se rend compte que les cages vides symbolisent une lutte incessante, où chaque effort pour échapper aux entraves semble voué à l'échec. Le contexte de cette œuvre peut évoquer des réflexions sur le passage à l'âge adulte et la perte des illusions de jeunesse. On ressent une nostalgie pour un temps révolu, symbolisé par le jardin, qui représente innocence et simplicité, tandis que la réalité de la vie adulte apporte des conflits et des désillusions.
