Caged Bird
"'Caged Bird' is my attempt at putting into words the inner voice that has freed me from 25 years of heroin addiction and over 30 prison sentences in that time. I went through that revolving door of addiction, prison, addiction, prison so many times I probably broke records.
There was finally a 'waking up' in prison about 6 years ago and I've been free ever since. So when I found the Unbound community at Vox Liminis about 7 months ago people suggested I try and write a song, this song came to me pretty quickly.
It's basically about realizing we're conditioned by our environment, culture, society...all that stuff, and finding a depth within, beyond all the conditioned 'person' stuff. The 'cage' is an illusion...'cage' being the fake mind-made self.
It's just simple writing, that's all I've got really but the beauty of freedom I hope is held within it."- William
