Open Cage

It's easy to self-sabotage by staying locked inside a shell for fear of rejection or failure. It's particularly sad to want connection but push it away for fear of reexperiencing past trauma. This song channels that feeling and situation.
Has two choruses, a verse, and a long piano solo at the end. I liked the sloppy guitar interlude after the chorus. Feel like it succinctly channeled how I was feeling. One electric with an octaver subtly layered with two takes on the acoustic.
Spent a lot of time ideating on this one, so it doesn't have some usual polish like various sidechaining. I am very new to writing lyrics and have found it hard to quickly and authentically channel emotions into conscious lyrics without the vibe getting too cheesy or "maudlin." But, I like the overall idea. If I end up making a WeeklyBeats album this one will be revisited.
Feel free to roast.
