Wasteland

Wasteland (feat. David Benites)

Killer in Neverland

Cross out

インフェルノ

“Caged Life” is an alt-rock anthem about feeling trapped in your own routines, your own head, and the walls you built to survive.
Peeling paint. Heavy silence. A world spinning while you stand still.
This track lives in that tension — the place where frustration turns into fire.

Driven by raw vocals and gritty melodies, “Caged Life” captures the moment you finally crack open the door and choose the unknown over the familiar cage.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, held back, or ready to break out, this song will hit home.

[Verse 1]
Woke up to paint that’s peeling thin,
Walls breathe heavy but don’t let me in.
Windows stare like they’re keeping score,
I pace the same cracked floor.

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands know the shape of these chains,
Comfort starts to look the same.

[Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve learned the sound,
Of standing still while the world spins around.
Caged life — can’t fake the peace,
Freedom whispers but it never speaks.

[Verse 2]
Footsteps fade down the hallway dust,
Words we said turned into rust.
I wear a grin like a disguise,
Just to keep the quiet alive.

[Pre-Chorus]
My breath fights the walls I built,
I move but I don’t feel guilt.

[Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve learned the sound,
Of standing still while the world spins around.
Caged life — can’t fake the peace,
Freedom whispers but it never speaks.

[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll burn what held me still,
Trade my cage for an open hill.
No plan, no path, just open air,
If I fall — at least I dared.

[Final Chorus]
Caged life — I’ve worn it thin,
Breaking out where I begin.
Caged life — I’ve made my peace,
Freedom’s rough, but it’s mine to keep.

[Outro]
Yeah…
Caged life — not me.

Caged life

[Verse]
I still drive by the places we both used to know,
Chasing your shadow along roads where the streetlights glow.
I bury the longing where no one can see,
Stoic on the surface, but the ache lives in me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Each memory a lesson inked deep under my skin,
Now I'm careful with the fragments of hope I let in.

[Chorus]
Perhaps whatever Could-be might-be
probably possibly
Maybe 
Perhaps whatever Could-be might-be
probably possibly
Maybe

[Verse]
Sunrise finds me with a quiet, determined gaze.
Beneath the hurt, I've grown wiser in so many ways.
I won't forget the fires that tried to burn me to the ground;
Every scar is a story of how I'm still around.

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm moving forward slowly, but I finally feel free,
No longer afraid of whatever tomorrow might be.

[Chorus]
Perhaps whatever Could-be might-be
probably possibly
Maybe 
Perhaps whatever Could-be might-be
probably possibly
Maybe

[Outro]
I'm learning to find peace with the unknown road ahead.
Instead of running from "maybe," I'll take it step by step instead.
If I pass by those old places, I know your shadow might appear,
But it doesn't haunt me now, it fades along with my fear.
