Lyrics:
Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall

Why isn't this band more popular? Their music is amazing.
theyre pretty popular
I don't like it when a band goes mainstream because in a way they lose their true form and skills and turn to what the media looks as good.
abraham Lizaola are you sure about that? You cant generalize all bands, cage the elephant is one of the bands that doesnt give a fuck about the media and they do whatever feels right to them. Aint no rest for the wicked is their most popular song yet its a one of a kind song, each album is different and they will never go mainstream.
Gabriel Lutz Come a Little Closer and Ain't No Rest for the Wicked play on the radio all the time where I live.
abraham nailed it on the head. A lot of times bands lose their focus when they get a lot of attention and fame
The singer looks EXACTLY how I have always pictured him in my head
Right???
He used to look more grunge when I saw them at a festival before they got famous for ain’t no rest...and definitely was wasted but what a performance on a three stage festival, they drew a crowd and it was early in the day but not cause anyone knew them but by how much energy they put out and people from the other two stages made their way over. Tool was the headline so to be the second best to them never a bad thing out of a lot of bands
Scott Will Annsnmd

I Imagined him looking a little bit like Nickelback
That’s fuckin hilarious
"Guess I'm coward scared to face the man I am."
For some reason that Lyric is just so strong.
2024! Rock On🤘
This band has been on my daily rotation since the first time I heard them. I'm thankful for Cage The Elephant.
There is in fact hope for the future of rock.
well this was in the past soo.
I agree and probley the best thing said about cage the elephant
Think again, their new album isn't very Rock at all unfortunately...
csmall1221 yes but every good artist’s sound evolves. I think their new album is amazing!
@@vincentpizano9492 It's an okay album, I understand they have to keep with the times though. I dont think Social Cues is near as good as Melophobia or Tell Me I'm Pretty.
This song makes my brain feel good.
Ok
Bubbles k
mm K
well said mate
hope you're still vibing, feeling good
anyone here in 2019? whole ass decade later and everything they put out is still amazing
Still here chica
More relevant now than ever before. Their shit was ahead of its time as well as timeless.
I'm here still listening 😁 love this band!
@@lucyfritz1719 well you're awesome like proper grammar. 🤣🤣🤣
Almost 2020 and still here...about to go cry to Aberdeen brb
They sound so 90's it's great.
Hell yea
The video also has a serious 90s vibe to it as well.
It is a 90s band
Well 90s to early 2000s

The acoustic guitar throughout each verse might just be the chillest sound ever.
thats electric guitar bro
Nick E You know, I began to think that after I posted that comment and listened to the song again. Electric with no amplification.
The mix contains both. The acoustics are panned farther, but there's at least 4 guitars at any given moment in the song, not including the bass track.
That's my favorite part
My fav bit
I could listen to the intro on repeat forever
[Verse 1]
Tonight, I'll have a look and try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house, my spirit screams and dies again
Out back, a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
[Verse 2]
Blanket of silence makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains, took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
[Chorus]
Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
[Verse 3]
Deep in the jungle, camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully, I make my plea
The altar's calling, but my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
[Chorus]
Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
Now you know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah, you've got my back against the wall
people like you make me love comments!
thank you good sir. may thy day be blessed
Thank you!
I wish they were around in the 90s. They would have been so much bigger then
I agree, they deserve more recognition
Loved their original sound. Rocked the shit out of these guys back in 2010
Yes! When they kept it garage rock. I’ve grown to like their new stuff but it took years.!
hell yeah.
Me too, I heard this song on a UFC Road To The Octagon back in the day
so ur gay?
@@zrules60 What?
their debut was the best fucking thing ever.
This video reminds me so much of the video for Heart Shaped Box
dude,i said the same thing
Well they clearly draw influence from Nirvana...fun fact: Dave Grohl actually played drums with them for a bit because Jared's appendix burst
Same dude
I thought same
As a 40 year old man who grew up in the early 90s and saw and followed how all that great music blew up; I’ve being kinda disappointed with how little good music is out there. And this band really hits the nail in the head with lyrics , video , music and vibe.
It brought me memories as a teen when I discovered , letters to Cleo , veruca salt, Blind melon, Pearl Jam etc
I DIE FOR PEARL JAM
If you can't find good music, you aren't looking nearly hard enough
@@vena.lunaris2908 could be
man there is a LOT of good music out there
it just needs some air
A lot of musics to the day are just the same
I discovered this song when I was high as shit in the back of an uber cab and the driver was fucking blaring this song, I was losing my mind
Chester Cheeto When did you discovered Cheetos? and do you prefer crunchy or poofy?
well you see I was on a massive acid trip and I was feeling pretty kinky so I started to put crunchy Cheetos in my ass but then I wanted to take on a bigger challenge so I started using puffy but that wasn't enough either so then I started going spicy and that is my main shit now :)
Chester Cheeto thank you for those comments
Chester Cheeto that sounds amazing
@@Ch3sterCheeto1 WHAT
Why aren't bands like this dominating radio
People are like trained sheep.
I’ve heard a few songs of theirs on the radio. That was only on an “alternative” station and not a mainstream one, though. Oh well.
People still use the radio?
They are. “Skin and Bones” is number one on the rock alternative chart.
Because the majority of people now day's are fried chicken eater's and burrito eater's
this is probable the best cage the elephant song
lol probable?
My favorite...The lines about fabricated disbelief and tongue/platform for lies are killer. Matt Shultz is a brilliant lyricist.
Sup mad scientist
Nah cigarette daydreams
Cameron Line All a matter of subjective opinion...I love their work, period.
Can you guys see the complete artistic genius of Cage the Elephant? I mean fuck, their videos alone are works of art and they provide a kind of cloak for the lyrical brilliance, and their instrumental-ism is exceptional
Or they just know not to mess with the gnomes?
I dont like this comment
@@ipbk8471 why
First cage the elephant video that didn't make me cry, but showed me not to fuck with gnomes.
People say that in the 2000's decade music was only shit?? This song changes those wrong perspectives ;)!!
The majority of popular music for the past decade has been complete shit.
the fact that Justin Beiber has a career is proof.
Who says 2000s music sucks? Rock has never sucked
ApocalypticStorms what about nickleback?
Only Pop was carp the rest was doing ok not there best but ok.
tyler finch lmfao maate!
I can think of at least 3 Cage the Elephant music videos that involve setting things on fire.
I think it's bc they are mad on a level that frustrates them and that's how they display there rage... Kinda like the robot song on their first album
Does one of those include lighting a cigarette, by chance?
they want to be arsonists 😊😊
Moral of the story, don't fuck with gnomes.
Annebannan Yup.
+Annebannan You mam made my day.
+Annebannan this comment made my day xD
Does anyone now what happened to this band
+Garrett Larcom What do you mean?
Hey 17 old me. Still love this song in my 30s
Holy fuck, same
Same! This came out right after I graduated high school.
I absolutely love Matt's voice, he just gets so into the music and it's quite infectious. Cage the Elephant is pretty much the only band I really get into and sing like I mean it.
This song screams Dexter to me. Especially the line "Face the man I am".
"Pulled back the curtain, took a look into your eyes. My tongue has now become a platform for your lies."
Foals, Silversun Pickups, Bear Hands, and Cage the Elephant. Hartford Connecticut 2016. One of my favorite experiences, and shows of my life. Thank you. ❤️🤘🏼
Excellent to see Rock is alive and Well!!
Kind of, I think this is considered indie rock. But it's still great
+Paul Desmond more alternative
Cage The elephant is one of the best bands i've ever heard.
Just recently started listening to them again, and this is one of my favorites.
My husband died in 2008 and this is the song I played over and over again. It expressed the way I felt, like a open wound and also the anger of losing him. Thank you Cage The Elephant.
"Deep in the jungle camouflaged by all the fallen leaves, a hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea"
That lyric is pure genius. When one first listens to it, they might be fooled into thinking that it's the leaves themselves that are the source of camouflage for the "hand holding up the sky" when, in fact, it's the lack of leaves on the trees that allow the tree branches to resemble "hands" and therefore make the human hand being held up in the air less noticeable. This is hinted at by the fact that the leaves are already "fallen" and that they aren't "falling" presently.
I'm stuck here in between the shadow of my yesterday
I wanna get away, I need to get away!!!
I am a total metal head big time, but love Cage The Elephant 🤘
Mustard and hummus.
These guys really do kind of have a led zepplin vibe to them
One of my favorite bands
THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL RIGHT HERE.
Listening to this song in 2023 and its still in my top 5 most fave songs ever. So glad Borderlands showed me this band.
Smokin that Girl Scout cookie while listening to this song be dope af.
NECRO ERRUPTER that’s one of the best strains ngl
Cookies is the most over rated variety
Gorilla glue 🦍 🙌🙌🙌🙌 💨 🔥 🔥
@@kidkully Mac 1 homie!! 🔥
@@TOKDHERN never heard of that strain
Why are people in the comments acting like this wasn't a generations life, this song alone is running 10 million views, id say its fairly popular
You can't deny the lyrics here are top-notch and incredible.
@myles 9 really why?
Another song about my life..daily
Ah the worm hole
I’m stuck on one of those trips
@@smokeandmirrors482 well that'll just tear your head up being stuck like Chuck
Biggest banger for those of us who were born in the late 90’s, early 2000’s
so that's what its like to be on acid
I can't help but think they are The Animals of this generation.
Used to listen to this album on repeat riding around town with my friends when I was a teenager. Great times. Haven’t listened to them in a few years and hearing this now takes me right back to those days. Crazy brain. 😂
10 years later and your music is still amazing 🔥
This band remains the best thing to ever come from Kentucky.
best thing that doesnt come in a bottle
The first person to crowd surf to the top of red rocks and back, Matt's a legend.
Joy division.
this is real, real instruments real music real talent
Gnomeland Security.
They work like magic
Idiots play the single best comment and reply ever
Ian Goode top notch shit man. Genius
yesssss
That bluesy punk sound....soooo good. Oh and this music video totally has Heart Shaped Box Vibes. It's actually incredible that this is their first album. Imagine doing your first album and right away boom you get Back Against the Wall, Ain't No Rest for the Wicked...such a good start for a band. Like when you hear those songs originally, everyone knew these guys were gonna blow up & be an overnight success and that's exactly what happened.
❤❤❤
This song is so underrated and always has been. I love cage the elephant.
I picked up the electric guitar because of Cage. Thank you for the riffs Lincoln
I knew this girl my first year in highschool her name was joleyne but i called her joe, she was a senior and she gave me a list of song artists. This was one of them and ive never seen or talked to her since.
This looks like a 90's music video.
Ikr
Wow Samwise Gamgee is an awesome singer
Thank you
This made me lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man this just screams "2010" and I love it
The clip and the is a time travel to my chilood ,so thanks cage the elephants for this incradible thing
I was introduced to this band by a coworker of mine who turned into a friend. He took his own life just over two years ago now. This band will never go dull to me. He’s not the kind of guy who’d want people to be sad. I love my life vicariously through him daily he taught me a lot of what I know today
Rip James Have a cold one for me brother!!
Crunchy guitars, real drums, slick bassline, jesus that amazing buildup; catchy as fuck thank god for these guys man they truly are an inspiration musically.
FUCK DUDE IS THAT KEEMSTAR HOLY SHIT
OH FUCK RUN
thenthebassdrops HEY NOW YOURE A KEEMSTAR
LOL FUCK
I listen to this song when it first came out , amazing how it’s been 12 years later and it doesn’t get old
I agree, great music NEVER gets old!
It will always be amazing to me but I listen to what I like
I just learned the solo now I feel like a God
This band has always been my happy place. Such a mesmerizing group of people…
Legend. Here after 11 years
Joy division.
@@The.jorgewalleI’m here again man. Always and forever
He looks like evan peters / kurt cobian
Dude, I thought he looked like Evan Peters, too.
He could be his recarnation?
Evan peters needs to die to have a reancarnation. Which is what i assume you mean.
@@MuddyNavarro Reincarnation*
He looks like young Mark Hamill
I remember watching this on AMTV (When MTV aired music still at 6 am) when it first released and it was so inspirationally punk that I based my hairstyle off of the bassist's, whose hair was in front of his eyes. So I gelled my hair straight down to cover my eyes like his. Looking at the yearbook pictures I chuckle a little, but it was what I thought was cool. And it takes me back to this memory of having that hairstyle and my current events teacher actually making fun of me in front of the whole class, and he said "what are you gonna tell your kids when they look back on it?" And I said to him and the whole class "I did exactly what I wanted to do." Everyone in the class was speechless. He took that as "whoa this guy is untamed, we need to fix him" while I actually meant in terms of doing what I thought was cool. Not what other people's definition of cool is, but doing what you like and think is cool. Which is actually the formula of how to be cool lol. The staff eventually gave me an ultimatum of expulsion or a haircut, which was super petty, but on par for how these "adults" were acting.
Heard this for the first time in my first trip in London. Please this deserves more attention. Really.
Feel like I time warpped into the 90's
This song and video has a lot of deep meanings regardless of what the meaning was meant to be. Its all about perception. Two people can look at a work of art and interpret it different but they can both can be right. This song is incredible and its art so everybody will view the meaning different but its no right and wrong .
I was looking for this comment, good stuff
Reminds me of when I got saved. That's the meaning I get from it.
Well spoken @Dejean Barnett
Not every band wants to be mainstream famous. Some just wanna play their awesome music and live happy.
Pi apple
Mama is that you? 😱
I remember when they released this video. Good memories
reminds me very slightly of the heart shaped box video
One of the most amazing songs that I've ever heard -- and I'm 53.
Am I the only who thinks that Matt is really handsome??
"Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am." That hit me
really deep, if you just read the lyrics its about a drug addiction, which he was coming off of while writing this song, hits ya right in the feels
Oh man... I really love this video by Cage the Elephant. I have watched it so many times since it's release. They should be superstars. Very talented group.
But they are superstars 😉
Hi I recommend a song and video here on youtube called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
2022 and still one of the best bands ever.
Idk why but this video reminds me of nirvanas heart shaped box video.
***** how can you tell me what the video reminds me of? Lol
***** and yes gnomes are creepy.
i just found out about these guys and have been a huge nirvana fan back in the day and YES this totally reminds me of heart shaped box. the colors, the faded focus, the handmade sets etc very similar in style.
***** and this wasnt weird?
***** look at the gnomes! You said heart shaped box was weird but this is just as strange.
Back when Cage thr Elephant made pure music...oh how I miss these days 😔
Can’t get enough of this song - incredible dynamics and the guitar on the outro is money.
I remember when this album came out in 2009 I think, my friends and I would just play it on repeat over and over. Definitely the album of my childhood. Still love them.
Wow!!! 14 years? Insane! 2009 was ACTUALLY the LAST time Mudvayne put out a CD when Cage The Elephant put out this CD & song. Man, Time sure flies!!!
I always thought the lead singer was black. what a trip man
Almost 10 years ago, time flys..
All time favorite song favorite band it’s like he’s lived what I’ve going thru as we speak I’ve holding on by a thread for 3 years an this song just put me in the best mood I was very depressed I have been for longer than I wanna say but hey I’m gonna keep praying to god everyday GodBless my family and godbless my sister unborn it’s gonna be a smart child I hope the best for everyone even my enemies I hope that I’ll one day pull my self out of my anti social life lost all my friends to life they grew up I don’t and I’m trying my hardest to not commit suicide because I have to hold on for my momma an sister
I'm 59 and I believe that Cage are the best band,ever.awesome song
Reporting this for garden gnome abuse.
Every single song by Cage the Elephant is a banger
I really love how much this reminds me of the Heart Shaped Box music video
I think this is the song that's been stuck in my head for the past week lol took me forever to find it
Cage the Elephant are truly one of the best bands ever!!!
Video reminds me of heart shaped box
My dad showed me this song when I was 6. Still stuck in my head.
Thanks for the song Vinny!
Who the hell let keemstar breed?
For a sec I thought you were talking about the lead singer, but then I realized you were talking about the Gnomes, so my mind went from, "Aw, fuck you." to "MAH MAN!"
Cattywampus these guys are owsome
be easy, it's on need to know, u keep on...
2 years later and I'm still dying from this comment. I needed this in my life thank you
Fucking awesome comment me too
I haven't heard this song in a while. Man take me back to my youth
I love how 90's this band sounds!
Thank you Attack of the Show for showcasing this music video
