about

This song is about unrealistic expectations and how we put ourselves into 'cages' when we're really wild animals who want to be out.

lyrics

In a temple of fire
You sit and wait for the water to fall.
But it never does and you sit there like a stone.
And the world keeps spinning on while you’re alone.

In a memory forgotten
Sleep the dreams you thought you wanted.
But they're resting now behind the mists of time.
And they burden up the backgrounds of your mind.

SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE
FLOATING HIGH FEELING ALRIGHT - IT’S OK
FEELING ALIVE AND IT’S HOW I WANNA STAY
SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE

All the words we left unspoken
Folded fast and quickly broken.
But you didn’t seem to care or seem to mind
How it lingered in the air and down the line.

It all started with a moment.
Wantin', hopin' I could hold it.
But you’ve passed along so long along the way
And the world keeps spinning on and on each day

SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE
FLOATING HIGH FEELING ALRIGHT- IT’S OK
FEELING ALIVE AND IT’S HOW I WANNA STAY
SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE

Freedom on the breeze
It’s taking me
from this world
from this world
from this world
I can’t be tamed
locked and contained
I am not
an animal
an animal
an animal

SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE
FLOATING HIGH FEELING ALRIGHT - IT’S OK
FEELING ALIVE AND IT’S HOW I WANNA STAY
SO I’LL GO INTO THE WILD OUT OF THE CAGE

about

Colette Rivers Wellington, New Zealand

Colette Rivers is an American-born, New-Zealand raised, self-proclaimed 'Kiwi'.
This doesn’t sound like a debut album, as it is full of confidence and assuredness, as if the person at the heart of it all had been doing this for many years. 
We have folk and singer-songwriter styles being mashed together with indie and alternative rock by someone who knows exactly what she wants to achieve.
