Owl City - Cave In Lyrics
Please take a long hard look
Through your text book 'cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
'Cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range
'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turn pike
Always takes its toll on me
I've had just about enough
Of quote "diamonds in the rough"
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(I'll cave in, I'll cave in...)
If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining
Because I've heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
(Though I'm always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like Wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound
Try to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
(Awake, awake, awake, awake...)
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(Cave in, cave in, cave in, cave in...)
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on
Just in case my head caves in
(In case my head caves in)
'Cause if my thoughts collapse
Or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handle bars to the stars
So I stay on track (so I stay on track)
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back
I won't even look back
(Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da daaa...)

Owl City Cave In Comments
I HAVE THE CD!!! I GOT IT THREE DAYS AGO!!!

It sounds like hope :)
Cave in
God Bless😇
I need new music of Owl City right now xd and who is watching in 2019 before 2020?
When this video has more views than the original uploader lol
Anyone else used to listen to this late-night and imagining scenarios in your head before sleeping?
It's been a decade today since I bought this album. How the time flies... still to this day have never owned a better album and this song is my favourite... with Hot Air Balloon and the Saltwater Room close behind....

You are not histoy. You are legend!
Look hard through your textbook(your brain, with strategies to stay sane) trying to ride a rough trail(fear and mental dysfunctioning) helmet=information that should protect you. If bombs go off(panic) then the sun still shines(hope becsuse) ive heard it said(told myself)every mushrom cloud has a silver lining(narrow escape) but i undermine too deep to know(think too hard to know). Trying not to get drowsy with cold integrity(integrity to control thoughts) and if my thoughts collapse or framework snaps(lose control) itll make a huge mess like you wouldn't believe(if my thoughts go out of control ill be in a complicated mess). Ok the other metaphors are way too hard to explain. All owlcitys songs hsve beautiful metaphors
2019!!! still kicking :D
omg nostalgia
Replayed the intro like 12 times before actually listening

very damn relatable. I love the intro and the ending. If you replay those parts when it ends and then Rewind to the beginning it’s just perfect.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BERNIE SANDERS ALIGNS WITH CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE
Who is still watching in 2019
💓💓💓💓
I’ve heard this song several times, & I just now realized why he says he’ll hide all the loose change in his bedroom. It’s because it’ll otherwise fly out of his pockets when riding a dirt bike.
i improv my english here goooooooood thanks owl city
I wanna see owl city live so bad!!
0:58 did Adam reference Aladdin?! I'm disappointed that no one caught that reference.
true radical christianity is only love and lots of forgiveness ~ ~
3:05 - 3:33 greatest part of the song
I used to always get Adam Young confused with Adam West. I guess that's why he goes by Owl City, just for me. <3
Call me crazy but sometimes when I hear certain Owl City songs, I get incredibly sad
His song are all so beautiful...me too has serious nostalgic connection with his music... everytime i mis summer or summer time is approaching i usually listen ..played his songs and albums for month.
is that a minecraft reference?
July 2019, 1am, still madly in love with them.
is this someone trying to stay positive during a nuclear winter? just listen to the lyrics.
lmao yeah. im starting to see a really fucked up side to owl city.
A couple nights ago....I was dreaming that I was running through a beautiful scenery with shimmering snowfall and ample sunlight singing this song, out loud.........while running from the police.
I heard this on live stage.. this song it was so amazing
Is he talking about dying and going to heaven?
hes talking about dying in a nuclear holocaust
This is why I don't listen to owl city because it always hook me up
3분5초부터 ㄹㅇ 레전드
2019 yet so beautiful ...
Add a public comment...
Thanks helmet head. I so appreciate that. 😡
The fact that this has over 2 million views, but Cave in on Owl City's channel has 4,000 pisses me off
@Emma agreed but hey here we are listening to this uploaded version. Happens a lot
Still listening ❤
the neatest autotune ever
This is a really dark song, but super upbeat. Which is something I like about it. It sounds like someone living in a post apocalyptic world, and making the best out of bad situation. I'm not sure if i'm the only one who hears this though.
I guess Adam Could compose "Djenty" music lols kidding love this song btw😍😍😍
He is the deepest artist ive ever heard amazing and one of a kind
He is man. People don't give his music a chance they just know fireflies. His old music from ocean eyes and all things bright and beautiful are so deep, meaningful and unique with the nicest melodies I've ever heard or ever will hear. 10 years later he still is my favorite artist and Cave In still blows me away after listening to it for 10 years straight. It's not just a song it's 10 years worth of memories of good and bad all packed into one song. That's how powerful his old music is to me.
2019 ??? :D
Anyone....2019
I need to put this on my playlist for songs when I’m high wow
The memory. Morning cycling. To the greenest place I could ever find. The yellow petals falling from its tree..
Says "Owl City's new album" 10 YEARS AGO!!! However it's still better than all popular songs!
This is what is owl city known for
much better than 7 rings
I first listen to owl city when I was in elementary school maybe 3rd or 5th grade and in middle school I rediscovered him thru a song i heard on a day I was having a hard time his song shooting star came on and it changed my life completely I looked up the song and found fireflies the first song I heard from him when I was in elementary and it just rippled my body with nostalgia and after that I went thru all of middle school listening to owl city and dubstep (skrillex, doctor p, krewella etc...) when I hit Highschool I drifted from that deeply rooted faze and found rap and all that but nothing will ever take away the feeling owl city gives me and it just always brings me back to a time where things weren’t so hard. Every now and then I come back to it and just find peace in his music. I have a genuine love for owl city and having his music to listen to when I was having my hardest moments... if could only meet the guy who’s made just such a huge impact in my upbringing and was with me since childhood. I would give anything to just be back in 2009 listening to fireflies play over and over again
I miss the early 2000’s because this 😭😭😭 even in 2019 I still know all the words I love owl city
Sadly they don't make these types of songs anymore. ☹️
I’m crying right now :( The early 2000’s was the golden age of music. Seriously. Now all there is is a bunch of stuff about getting high and drunk and having sex love with someone else...
I know right? It's sad to hear that they make not good songs now. Were is the good owl City? Lol
Ten years, and i don't be bored to hear this song 😊😊
swaggytyyy
HOWDAREIDONTUNDERSTANDHOWCANANYONEDISLIKEOWLCITYADAMYOUNGISJUSTWAYTOODARNAWESOMEONLYLIKESNODISLIKESHOWDARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe it's almost been ten years since this came out. I still love this song and I love this album. Owl City is still one of my favorite bands.
brilliant, simply brilliant
Cool would be if he tries to expand his work to Brazil hehehe we are on hold!
The sad thing about living in Brazil is that it is very rare here to find anyone related to the band owl city, this really is very sad ... But all Brazilian fans, we have faith that someday we will have this privilege
Galaxies was the first song of my lifetime. I can sing the whole song. It reminds me of a Relationship and finding my one true love. Not yet though
Amazign
Commentors here are yeah we fell the same .. i love him owl city 😍😍😍

One of the songs that was on the music channel when my husbands son was born. He always listens to this song. He lives in the mountains under the stars - it’s all about perspective - white sands missile range

Hello I love this song <3
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Came here from Twitter, honestly this song has something special
I absolutely love 0:43 to 1:12
#Memory_bank highschool days 😍😚
I remember this song when my gf broke up with me 8 years ago and it was raining and as I went home walking in the wet lonely street the pain is really stabbing my heart. . until now this song really makes me sad every time I'm about to listen to it :(
anyone 2018 sept
This is good music.
"The wind smells like oil and octane mixed with stale gasoline." I hope y'all hear the message
2018 anyone?
It’s almost 2019 everyone
Now it's even closer
This is one of Adam's most underrated songs. It takes me back whenever I hear it, back to how much I listened to it when I was younger, all the Rhapsody favorites playlists I kept it in during my tweenage years. I remember how I always replayed that instrumental breakdown between 1:54-2:22 over and over because it was the coolest and most beautiful thing I'd ever heard at the time.
ocean eyes is so so great guys
These lyrics are kinda fuckin heavy for such a light song
Lots of his songs are like that if you really listen
I forgot how much I enjoyed his music. It's been so long, this really takes me back.
I'm just here thanking the stars they didn't ruin this song like what they did with fireflies. This will forever me an amazing song to me. No matter what.
