Cave Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In parting ways
And parting hearts
A dress of leaves blows to the winds
Take these sacrificial remnants, untended
Bashed to dust
And trust distressed
Red cheeks, caved in

[Chorus]
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause all we know, is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
Don't grieve anymore
'Cause all I hold, is all I own

[Verse 2]
Is this a desperate wish for dying?
Or a wish that dying cease?
The fear that keeps me going and going and going
Is the same fear that brings me to my knees

[Chorus]
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause what was gold, is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
'Cause all we are, is bled and gone

[Verse 3]
I am the air, the after
Always in the clouds
Searching for some answer
Parted now, I am the shore, repeated
Becoming air
I'm finally free

[Chorus]
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
What I can't see, can't hold to me
I don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
'Cause what was gold, is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause what was gold, is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
Won't grieve anymore
For you

What inspired the use of interpreter Jonathan Lamberton in the “Caves” clip?

We proposed the idea to our management and they were like, “That’s a really cool idea, here’s someone that we have in mind…”, so that’s how Jonathan came into it. They sent us the videos of him, which had gone viral and his emotive expression was just exactly what we were looking for. And it worked...

What did Future Islands say about "Cave"?

Samuel T. Herring via The Times

Cave is a goodbye to someone I’ve held on to for a long time, someone who has appeared in a lot of our songs over the years. I was trying to shed that feeling. I don’t think I have let go, actually.
