Ribcage Lyrics

Nothing left, now I'm feeling numb
And just like you, I couldn't love someone
There is no one, I can belong to

Take you out, never bring you back again, back again, back again
Can't recall how we lost our innocence, innocence,...

    The song Ribcage is about someone that has been hurt so much that they disconnect there emotions from life because they don't want to get hurt again. Some of the lyrics are "nothing left now I'm feeling numb and just like you I couldn't love someone"

    A battle between Andy's logical mind and his emotions. The song shows the logical side trying to cut off the emotions, and it's keeping him from loving - or hurting. He won't love someone again, but his logic is telling him that no, it's not a bad thing, it just means there's "no heart to break". His logic tries to convince him that emotion is unnecessary, "Emptiness is safe, keep it that way."

    I think that this song is aobout being heartbroken...I feel it in so many ways, so many words can describe this state. Play and listen again, then sat down and think about words like: "there is no one i can belong to"and "And just like you, I couldn't love someone" and at least "got no heart to break, like it that way,Nothing in the cage of my ribcage,Emptiness is safe, keep it that way". Now you see? Interesting

    He wrote the song ribcage after he jumped/fell of the stage during a live show and broke a few ribs. Though he did continue with the show
