The title is a reference to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” found in his The Rebuplic. In the allegory men are bound in a cave so that all they ever see is shadows from objects passing in front of a fire behind them. They believe the whole of reality is these shadows.

[Pre-Hook]
Fortified with minerals, I stand pinnacle
Pure like SmartWater, an online hero
Fly like outer space, calories are zero
Sugar-free warrior, an everyday miracle
Ionize, I arrive
Tears of a god resides in closed eyes
Run with a gun, the day has come nigh
Staying in the caves, the wolves are out hiding
[Verse 1]
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
No one to tell, no one to blame
High off stripes, trying to score some fame
Hustle in the bubble, warp ten engage(?)
I amaze, like mother nature in rage
Working like a slave for a little bit of praise
Real life never like MTV made
No-rule race gon' fuck me for days
I I I fuck you too
Freed all the animals caged up in the zoo
Standing in line to watch paint too
Just makes me happy that I'm not you
I falter, I monster, I banter, I harbor
Dragged out the cave and I wander
Into the brink and sink with no author(?)
[Hook]
Stay in the caves, the wolves are out hiding
Shield your face, the sun is outside
Shapes on the wall is all I know why?
Maybe the truth, but most likely lies
(x2)
[Verse 2]
Force-fed digital inputs and data
Show me the truth, incite, do me a favor
Let me be the one pointing the laser
Is it God? or another Darth Vader?
I raise and rattle my saber
Can't hold me down, my sound wakes the neighbors
Hi hater, what's the new danger?
Sentence me to death, like I'm the stranger
Alpha-Omega or Alpha-Zeta
My alma mater is Nike Air Raider
Dumb bastard dies, Akira
My constellation is Lyra
Just gave a tongue kiss to Hera
And then I ran the mascara
[Hook]
Stay in the caves, the wolves are out hiding
Shield your face, the sun is outside
Shapes on the wall is all I know why?
Maybe the truth, but most likely lies
