I feel like this isn't a song about depression. It's a song about a man realizing the causes of his depression and upon coming to this realization he conquers it and passes on his story to others so they can live their lives and "don't waste it" like he had for so long. So cheer up peoples
At 34 I didn't I think I could discover a new band that would become my new favorite. My previous favorite was the Rolling Stones, but man, Cage the Elephant just pulls my heart strings. This song, Rubber Ball, and so many others. Simply GENIUS. Unpeeled is my favorite album of theirs, it's simply incredible from start to end. I saw them live for the first time in December, it was insane, I've seen a ton of shows, but this was one of the top ones for me. Long live these bastards!
Two years ago I decided to tattoo part of this song, during what it's been now a 4 year battle against depression. “Time is like a leaf in the wind”, so I could remember to live in the present, to enjoy simple things and that time passes so fast. I'm doing better now, but today is a particular bad day and I remembered of this song. It makes me feel sad but mostly hopeful, 'cause when I listen it I know I'm not the only person who feels this way and that I'm not alone. So grateful for what Cage songs represented to me through the years ❤️
Well they can't all just be screaming their lungs out, because these recordings are going to be on their live "Unpeeled" album. If this was just a regular concert I'm sure it would be much more upbeat and noisy.
Crank that Nipple Clamp. Also, some of the vocals seem to be from a recording. So even if they were screaming, you probably wouldn't hear it in most of the song.
Crank that Nipple Clamp. That's what I would think except that on some of the songs i think it looks like he's kind of yelling and the audio is quiet. I'm not really sure if they only took audio from the live or if they recorded it though
They were probably told beforehand that they were recording. I've been to a cage the elephant show and they go into the crowd and hype everybody the fuck out. Best performance I've seen
"Telescope" In a far and distant galaxy Inside my telescope I see A pair of eyes peer back at me He walks and talks and looks like me He sits around inside his house From room to room, he moves about Fills his life with pointless things And wonders how it is all about Do-do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do-do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand Nowhere left to turn The walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted Don't waste it Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing He battens all the hatches down And wonders why he hears no sounds Frantically searching his dreams He wonders what it's all about Do-do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do-do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand Nowhere left to turn The walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted Here in my mind, losing my friends Fall on my face, do it again You say, "How do you do?" Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you? To be free, to be sold To be killed, to be safe In my head, I'm alone I'm OK, I'm ashamed Just like you, I've been trying to escape In my bones, I feel cold I give thanks to the Lord Industry, in the street Let me go, let me be I don't need to be here I'm alone, can't you see? Can't you see? I don't think you understand Nowhere left to turn These walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted Don't waste it
This brings me to senior year of highschool, few months before the pandemic. I miss those days and I am really sour that I didn't get to experience senior year to its fullest because of the lockdown and everything.
this describes perfectly how depression feels like(at least for me cause it’s subjective) especially the bridge “here in my mind losing my friends” “you say how do you do? Man how about you?to be free to be sold to be killed to be saved” “ In my head I’m alone” “I’m not dead I’m ashamed” “I’ve been trying to scape in my bones, I feel cold” “industry, industry” “let me go let me be” “Im alone can’t you see”
I'm 3 years late to this but, this song is so beautiful, the lyrics have so much meaning and such power to them, and the music is just wonderful. And the whole Unpeeled thing makes it even better. My favourite part is "Clearing my mind, losing my friends, following my fears, do it again. You say how do you do, man how 'bout you? man how 'bout you". Cage The Elephant are the best band out there and might just be the only good one too.
This song has been huge to me it’s so meaningful it tells such a vivid detailed story of boredom addiction wrong decisions and wasted time/ time well spent it makes you think about life and all the crazy turns and ups and downs/possibilities your life could go depending on how you live but then again it makes you feel like does anything really matter
It's rare to find a band that captures you with their sound and lyrical style as soon as you start listening, but I have another favourite band. I enjoyed all the styles covered on different albums, unusual for a band to make such contrasting albums, bands usually stick with their recognisable sounds once they get a big fan base but these fellas are pixies/placebo punk then trip rock on another, but as soon as I heard this track I found the music outstanding, then as I listened to the lyrics they began to upset me feeling like it was written about my life at the moment sounds dramatic I know but i've been at low point for a while the last few weeks. These lyrics seem to be about somebody hiding away from everything and not living.which is currently my life at this point. and when somebody says the words that explain it you feel like somebody knows the lows and you don't feel quite as isolated because you realise you're not the only person who goes through shit like this. Emotional blog over!
I was listening to music on my headphones when I passed out and had a dream w a real sad/happy part where all my old friends were there and we were all singing a song and crying, remembering old times. When I woke up, this song was playing. We were all singing this
currently so obsessed with this song. i want to say that i felt like i ghostwrote it only im not that good with words but wow. knowing that so many people feel the same way as ive been feeling for so many years is oddly comforting. hope things get better soon for the lot of us. we may feel lonely but im sure we are never alone
Almost moves me to tears every time because when i found cage i was messed up badly but this song ill always be forever greatfull it probly saved my life or helped at least. 🙏❤
In a far and distant galaxy Inside my telescope I see A pair of eyes peer back at me He walks and talks and looks like me Sits around inside his house From room to room he moves about Fills his life with pointless things And wonders how it all turns out Do do do do do Do do do do do Safe to say that I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent Or time I've wasted Don't waste it Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing He battens all the hatches down And wonders why he hears no sound Frantically searching his dreams He wonders what it's all about Do do do do do Do do do do do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand!

One of my favorite songs. So special to me. When i listen this song it makes me feel like i’m flying in my living room. And quotes are so meaningful. This song reminds me of someone:’)
I used to love listening to this song when depression had really began to sink its teeth in. That was a year ago. Im even worse now. I feel so much nostalgia listening to this

Can't you see? é muito real! Vc tem todas essas dúvidas, vergonhas, sentimentos e questionamentos que vc não compreende e não consegue sair dessa imensidão. Parabéns, traduziram plenamente uma doença desgastante! Só é possível compreender em sua totalidade se vc passar. É algo muito conflitante que mexe muito com todos seus sentidos e atitude.
One of my favorite songs, great live recording. The fact that this only has 335k views says a lot about what music people listen too. I've seen a lot of live shows, very few have blown my socks off like Cage the Elephant.
Me trae muchos recuerdos esta canción, la conozco gracias a una persona que quise mucho, ahora la escucho y me pone muy triste, solo espero que el sea felíz.
La canción me encanta, pero ahora ya mas madura, me doy cuenta que a la persona que me recordaba era un perfecto idiota, la verdad si espero que sea feliz, porque a mi me hizo muy infeliz y no esta chido sentirse así

Perfect.
So its not about depression but its about the causes of his depression, which is still about depression, nice dude
Dan Knapp existentialism perhaps
Don't waste it
Forever one of my favorite songs...
I agree, but i think previous version was better
The bridge of this song give me unbelievable chills and make me cry. If I was there I would lose my freaking mind
Me too, when i listening to this song i want to cry... But love it ❤

Ditto, and I'm 40
Diego Garcia The "unpeeled" album are just the same songs from other albums but they just have the crowd screaming and cheering.
I am 59 next week!!!
Hey, I am 44 and these guys pull my strings
@@mittengirl642 im 40 too
One of my top 3 favorite cage the elephant songs. I clicked on this so fast.
Same its my favorite
@@aqua47flawless43 This song is definitely their most underrated
I really love how so many old people are enjoying this song in the front row. It's amazing how every age group connects.
Yes!!!
I noticed that too. It really is.
3:16 even the drummer was like damn this mans goin hard af rn xD
everyone in the building probably had the same reaction

a fucking materpiece
Alice Poe Agreed 🙂
the only way to put it
I relate to "telescope" because it reminds me of myself going thru deep depression. The orchestra is impeccable & violins go straight thru my heart.
Me too. Stay safe, brother. X
how is that crowd so calm?? like I would be losing my freaking mind if I were there
Well they can't all just be screaming their lungs out, because these recordings are going to be on their live "Unpeeled" album. If this was just a regular concert I'm sure it would be much more upbeat and noisy.
Crank that Nipple Clamp. Also, some of the vocals seem to be from a recording. So even if they were screaming, you probably wouldn't hear it in most of the song.
Radio Station I don't think that's how it works since it's a live album?
Crank that Nipple Clamp. That's what I would think except that on some of the songs i think it looks like he's kind of yelling and the audio is quiet. I'm not really sure if they only took audio from the live or if they recorded it though

"Telescope"
In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes peer back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
He sits around inside his house
From room to room, he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it is all about
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand
Nowhere left to turn
The walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sounds
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand
Nowhere left to turn
The walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Fall on my face, do it again
You say, "How do you do?"
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
To be free, to be sold
To be killed, to be safe
In my head, I'm alone
I'm OK, I'm ashamed
Just like you, I've been trying to escape
In my bones, I feel cold
I give thanks to the Lord
Industry, in the street
Let me go, let me be
I don't need to be here
I'm alone, can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't think you understand
Nowhere left to turn
These walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
There has to be a limit to your perfection, Matt.
How is this not the most popular song in the music industry? There are not enough words to express how awesome you guys are.
Industry, let me go, let me be...
@@antoinegilliet797in the street
A mis 54 años de vida y siendo rockero toda mi vida es lo mejor que escuchado
Il mio cuore che si distrugge suona così
This song is genuine heartfelt poetry. Just amazing of how most of us feel in the real world
In... 30+ gigs, these boys are easily the best thing I've ever experienced live.
That bridge really hits me hard. Makes me cry everytime
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it🍊🍃⏳🔭
Florisol Torres
No.
it's "well" (i know a lot of people think it's worth tho) :-)
Florisol Torres No.
Those are my favorite lyrics from the song
You don’t know how much I love this song.
Still to this day my favorite song, I’ve cried all three times I saw this performed live..
This brings me to senior year of highschool, few months before the pandemic. I miss those days and I am really sour that I didn't get to experience senior year to its fullest because of the lockdown and everything.
The chorus and bridge make me cry for some reason and I can’t control it like it literally just happens
i pray to be able to go to their concert and sing this song at the top of my lungs
This band tells my life...
Saw these guys last Tuesday...what a great live band. Best show I've seen in years
Saw them a few weeks ago in CT. Best show I've seen in years also! Absolutely amazing live! Brilliant band!
this describes perfectly how depression feels like(at least for me cause it’s subjective) especially the bridge
“here in my mind losing my friends”
“you say how do you do? Man how about you?to be free to be sold to be killed to be saved”
“ In my head I’m alone”
“I’m not dead I’m ashamed”
“I’ve been trying to scape in my bones, I feel cold”
“industry, industry”
“let me go let me be”
“Im alone can’t you see”
fabiana g it actually is what would happen if Matt never formed cage the elephant during the beginning he suffered a drug addiction
fabiana g love that part
I'm 3 years late to this but, this song is so beautiful, the lyrics have so much meaning and such power to them, and the music is just wonderful. And the whole Unpeeled thing makes it even better. My favourite part is "Clearing my mind, losing my friends, following my fears, do it again. You say how do you do, man how 'bout you? man how 'bout you".

Extraordinary. The passion and sincerity,
This song has been huge to me it’s so meaningful it tells such a vivid detailed story of boredom addiction wrong decisions and wasted time/ time well spent it makes you think about life and all the crazy turns and ups and downs/possibilities your life could go depending on how you live but then again it makes you feel like does anything really matter
Unpeeled just might be the best live album in the history of Rock and Roll. Up there with Frampton Comes Alive, and Allman Brothers at Fillmore East.
Referenced this song as my Senior Quote years back, SUCH an important song.
My personal favorite CTE tune.
Jimmy Bonilla good choice
Jimmy Bonilla what was the line you used ?
I'm a senior person who LOVES Cage. Matt is just a beautiful person.
"Esskkettit"

hope you're doing well now
feeling the same. hope ur doing well now
Me too. Stay safe, David. ❤
hey, I'm 70. Can't stop listening to "unpeeled"
i love this song
I was listening to music on my headphones when I passed out and had a dream w a real sad/happy part where all my old friends were there and we were all singing a song and crying, remembering old times. When I woke up, this song was playing. We were all singing this
After hundreds of times this song especially in this version makes me cry every time…what a powerful and amazing song, I just love it.
This song touched me greatly I cried the first time I heard this song
That last “don’t waste it” gave me chills
I can listen to this album 24x7x52x100000 and never get bored
This song is so perfect
MDS COMO EU AMO ESSA MUSICAAAA COMO EU AMO ESSA BANDA ❤
Their best song BY. FARRR.
Right in the chest. My soul feels this song so hard.
currently so obsessed with this song. i want to say that i felt like i ghostwrote it only im not that good with words but wow. knowing that so many people feel the same way as ive been feeling for so many years is oddly comforting. hope things get better soon for the lot of us. we may feel lonely but im sure we are never alone
Ok.....this one gave me a little shiver......so good.
What a fantastic band. I have discovered a breath on fresh air, in a crazy time. OMG they are amazing.
This is my favorite Cage the Elephant song. Soo beautiful
this sing is so powerful, it'll always have the power to glue me back together and keep going
It's never a waste of time to listen cage the elephant's beautiful songs
Almost moves me to tears every time because when i found cage i was messed up badly but this song ill always be forever greatfull it probly saved my life or helped at least. 🙏❤
This song makes me feel emotions i’ve never felt before
This is amazing. To goosebumps and tears
In a far and distant galaxy
Inside my telescope I see
A pair of eyes peer back at me
He walks and talks and looks like me
Sits around inside his house
From room to room he moves about
Fills his life with pointless things
And wonders how it all turns out
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
Afraid of what the truth might bring
He locks his doors and never leaves
Desperately searching for signs
Too terrified to find a thing
He battens all the hatches down
And wonders why he hears no sound
Frantically searching his dreams
He wonders what it's all about
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
It's safe to say that
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
The walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Here in my mind, losing my friends
Fall on my face, do it again
You say how, do, you do?
Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you?
To be free, to be sold
To be killed, to be saved
In my head, I'm alone
I'm not dead, I'm ashamed
Just like you, I've been trying to escape
In my bones, I feel cold
I give thanks to the Lord
Industry
In this streets
Let me go, let me be
I don't need to be here
I don't know
Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't think you understand!
There's nowhere left to turn
Walls keep breaking
Time is like a leaf in the wind
Either it's time well spent
Or time I've wasted
Don't waste it
Pearl Jangjiravat u do know wut lyric videos are right ?
Boom Doom the hell is wrong with you mate? he's just doing a favorable thing and what you said is just stupid
I think before the "Can't you see? " lines he says I'm alone

So much raw emotion, I’m speechless
My favorite song so far 💘
best live concert performance ever

Yes
one of my favorite songs, i can relate to it so bad.
and this performance is just breathtaking.
I used to love listening to this song when depression had really began to sink its teeth in. That was a year ago. Im even worse now. I feel so much nostalgia listening to this
Unapologetic Apathy let me know if i somehow can help
Arda Cüce i appreciate your concern but im ok thanks though
are you fine now? have you gotten better?
juliana t Some days it gets really bad other days its pretty neutral. Im still trying to find my own perspective
Unapologetic Apathy sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better!
The story and lyrics in this song are simply genius
This is the only song i like of theirs... and i'm in absolute love
Damn, this album is a treasure!!!!
Hi from Indonesian, my favorits songs..
What a beautiful performance. Really shot well too.
Favorite song of all time right here.
essa musica reflete e diz tudo que um depressivo sente quando entende a depressão que esta inserido. As dores e os problemas que o levaram a doença são claros, mas é muito difícil você~e conseguir sair. A parte em que ele diz:
Here in my mind
Losing my friends
Fall on my face
Do it again
You say how, do, you do
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
To be free
To be sold
To be killed
To be safe
In my head, I'm alone
I’m un-dead, I'm ashamed
Just like you, I've been trying
To be scared
In my bones, I feel cold
I give thanks
To the lord
Industry
In the streets
Let me go
Let me be, I don't need
To be here, I'm alone
Can't you see? Can't you see?
é muito real! Vc tem todas essas dúvidas, vergonhas, sentimentos e questionamentos que vc não compreende e não consegue sair dessa imensidão. Parabéns, traduziram plenamente uma doença desgastante! Só é possível compreender em sua totalidade se vc passar. É algo muito conflitante que mexe muito com todos seus sentidos e atitude.
This and Cigarette Daydream are my top songs. This is too beautiful and relatable 😔
OH I LOVE CAGE THE ELEPHANT SO MUCH
i love all of their songs but this one is definitely my favorite!!!
One of my favourites song!!!
One of my favorite songs, great live recording. The fact that this only has 335k views says a lot about what music people listen too. I've seen a lot of live shows, very few have blown my socks off like Cage the Elephant.
Me trae muchos recuerdos esta canción, la conozco gracias a una persona que quise mucho, ahora la escucho y me pone muy triste, solo espero que el sea felíz.
yo espero que tú estés feliz 💙
La canción me encanta, pero ahora ya mas madura, me doy cuenta que a la persona que me recordaba era un perfecto idiota, la verdad si espero que sea feliz, porque a mi me hizo muy infeliz y no esta chido sentirse así
Viciada em ouvir Cage The Elephant ❤😍
j'étais venu voir les stones à Paris et j'ai découvert ce groupe en première partie et depuis, je ne m'en lasse plus de l'écouter
I truly love this song
If Cage The Elephant stays a functional band through the next 20 years at least, I'll be able to survive this century of madness and misinformation.
So proud when social cues won best rock album. Cage the elephant is the only band that brings me happiness and joy in this shitty generation
beautiful
this is so powerful live
YAS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALL WEEK THANK GOD IT'S HERE THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD 😭💘
Beautiful performance with the addition of the orchestra and lighting. You guys are amazing! 🥰

mattymattmo I don’t know but 8 months ago people from Brazil kept begging them to come to Brazil to play a show

one of my favourite CTE songs, been waiting for this and I am not disappointed!
Best band of 2010 years.
