Lyrics:
i’m in the corner of ur cage
mascara runnin’ down my face
the door is open, but i’ll stay
u think u can keep me
and keep me afraid
ur twisting screws inside my head
i won’t just lie down and play dead
take a good look at my face
u think can keep me
scared to fall asleep at night
when ur by my side
i don’t know why
it doesn’t feel right
hide behind ur poker face
u do it everyday
i know ur lying
so i fake a smile
cuz in the end
i know u’ll get
everything u gave
i’m in the corner of ur cage
mascara runnin’ down my face
the door is open, but i’ll stay
u think u can keep me
and keep me afraid
ur twisting screws inside my head
i won’t just lie down and play dead
take a good look at my face
u think can keep me
but i’m not afraid
better hope and plead and pray
i keep ur secret safe
u better run
cuz i got the gun
i don’t need receipts to show
the things that we both know
cuz i got the scars
to prove who u are
cuz in the end
i know u’ll get
everything u gave
i’m in the corner of ur cage
mascara runnin down my face
the door is open, but i’ll stay
u think u can keep me
and keep me afraid
ur twisting screws inside my head
i won’t just lie down and play dead
take a good look at my face
u think can keep me
but i’m not afraid

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now" "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth
nessa is gonna go so far
She is
Not really
Who are you
@@user-dh2cd9hp2y leave then😭
She already has and it's only the beginning g
This EP is incredible - she’s telling such a personal STORY every song makes sense and shows so much growth 🥺🥺
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html
Its a toxic song
Best I have ever heard
@@MbitaChizi shes literally telling a story lol
She’s overrated and makes horrible music
She’s grown mentally, physically and emotionally. We are here for you Ness
Purr
she is so perfect..I'm proud of her
physically?
@@yeano372 they probably mean by her finding herself and style but idk though thats just my assumption
@@pureweakling1226 I thought they meant like height wise and I was like....
Queen never disappoints 🔥
@Lucetta Kroger ikr 😭
You didn’t even hear the song yet lmfaooo
True true😌
@@myafrorocks you don't even need to hear it first to say she doesn't disappoints she released a EP 😐💕
u everywhere
the lyrics of this song are very deep, I like it a lot, I can't stop listening to it
“I’m in the corner of your cage...the door is open..” that speaks VOLUMES
What exactly does it mean I couldn’t figure it out myself
I think the best way to describe this song is the anger of an abuse victim. Seeking revenge and being like “fuck you” “you did this” but feeling trapped and scared. The child-like scenery is probably to represent a traumatic childhood or her inner child. “I’m in the corner of your cage” “the door is open but I stay”, she could leave but she’s choosing not to because she’s afraid and doesn’t fully trust herself because she still loves the person deep down. In abusive relationships leaving is dangerous, there’s always a way out but it’s leaving that makes it hard. The fire is representing her anxiety and the difficulty and factors that come with escaping.
this album literally has zero skips. it’s gives so beautiful and sylvia plath dark psychopath mysterious gothic emo haunted russian vampire love story vibes.
oddly specific but very accurate
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html
Lol you got me with the Russian Vampire 😄 not bad ajaja
The production on this is insane. I’m obsessed with everything on this record
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html Enjoyy
Her EP is so deep and meaningful, but the story behind this song is sad, she was MENTALLY abused by josh, he let his friends talk crap about her, and his manager literally went out of his was too call her ugly, and so many names. Josh didn’t defend her at all, and she probably felt trapped being at the sway house, she probably felt like it wasn’t going to get better, she admitted she cried everyday there and I don’t agree with how her and jxdn handled things but he truly helped nessa come out of her big depressive episode and now she’s living lavish but still deals with mental health in a healthy way... she is definitely one STRONG HUMAN BEING. I love nessa as an artist/ human and I’m definitely grateful she survived her suicide attempts.
I absolutely love this comment so much! I came across Nessa’s song pain a year ago and to see how much she has grown and how strong she has had to be, just so happy to see her in a better place now
This is just stupid nessa fandom. Their is no evidence that she was “mentally abused”
@@jerrycarter3408 “nessa fandom”🤣🤣 lmaoo, It doesn’t take much to just pay attention to what got posted online by josh and her at the time, now just imagine what didn’t get posted and behind the scenes.
@@jerrycarter3408 Your grammar is awful and you can’t even spell, makes sense you can’t open your eyes and see what all josh has done.
You don't know what happened with josh
I’m sorry but compared to other internet stars who started music, she’s one of the best. Edit: thanks for all the likes! Also, no need for arguing in the comments you guys.

@@earfquake3989 Probably the last Time I click on a random link....Ngl this was kinda good
@@earfquake3989 Bro I thought this was a rick roll in the comments 💀 this sounds amazing
“I don’t need receipts to show the secrets we both know, cause I got the scars to prove who you are” THAT WAS POWERFUL. 🔥
Sounds like she got abused
@@naomiagbonze7949 wait u think so?Maybe she doesn't mean it that way
@@cookiesandmilk686 i think mentally
@@777.homaira same, abuse isn’t always physical it can be mental and she’s right josh plays the part of being innocent perfect but who knows what happened behind the scenes but this clearly proves it wasn’t as perfect as we all thought
@@alexc0403 Or it happened prior to her dating Josh
never disappoints me. the lyrics hit so hard. "dont need receipts to show" and " ive got the scars to prove who u r"
Definitely one of the best tiktokers who transfered to a music career. It’s not annoying to listen to and the lyrics have actual thought out into them. And that beat is very nice .
yess
haven’t related to anyone’s else’s songs as much as i relate to ness and her music. i love you janesa. you’re doing amazing
Yes !!💗🙄😩👏
I legit keep jammin to this song while my bf is the next room cuz it’s what I feel love her
She's so versatile w her voice..
Literally though

I can't describe what kind of comfort her songs are giving me
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html Enjoyy
Sounds like the anthem for women that have been in a Narcissistic abuse relationship!!! Beautiful songs sometimes have a lot of heart break behind them!!! ❤️
This is about her and josh relationship. She said then they were fighting “wait till my ep drops, and y’all find out the truth” so some were about jaden and how he made her so happy, and some where about josh.
Yup she finally told her side of the story just like everyone wanted her too
Which songs are about josh and which are about jaden
@@jaimienguyen6985 this one, I hope your miserable are abt josh and the ones abt Jaden are graves and I wanna die which sound dark but the song itself isn’t
@@jaimienguyen6985 another song is also about josh and in grave she mentions that her ex is just a frat
@@jaimienguyen6985 listen to the beginning of I wanna die
Every song is amazing. True artist. Can’t wait for a whole album and a tour!

I thought this was an album
@@kaitlynmarie2640 this is an ep. she said an album is coming tho
@@Sam-ij2nr whats an ep? Im sorry im dumb😭
just listened to hew new ep, it's as if she's read aloud her diary, it's a stream of consciousness rather than just a collection of rememberable songs
facts I actually agree with this so much - she’s telling such a personal STORY every song makes sense and shows so much growth 🥺🥺

YES i totally hear the halsey influence now u have pointed it out
I am the horseman from the bible.
what an EP. original, catchy melodies and memorable lyrics. This track is a great example.
Nessa , I am 33 married with a whole pre teen and your EP spoke to my heart it’s like you let us into your consciousness even though many Of us don’t deserve you girl you’re a rare gem and I’m glad you are finding your inner peace. 💓
From pain to this, OML NESSA! Your music is getting better and better
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html
@@mandoz353 I am sorry but it was my personal opinion. I felt the song “pain” was amazing, but I did feel there was a lack in better video. In a sense that there wasn’t much going on in the video. And for the addison or Dixie part, I never said or compared addison or Dixie, so don’t add me with the other people, and judge me by just a comment :)
@@GriffinZambia beautiful 🤗
she can't make one single bad song , the melodies always get stuck in my mind i get chills u never miss ilysm please keep doing music tf
FR man
fr bit pain was just uh
I’m simpin
@@saharkazemi4629 i think pain was kinda good ngl it was stuck inside my head for so long😭😭😣😣
I don’t think she talk about Josh in this, look at the room .. a kid’s room .. maybe it’s about her childhood.
maybe
Maybe she's talking about your dad
This sounds so dark and magical and scary and literally ~ flawless. I need an acoustic version like RIGHT NOW
I feel so identified with nessa's music, those moments where I put on my headphones and her lyrics make me come out of reality, I love her, thank you for making art
I am so proud that she can open up to us and talk about everything she has suffered and tell us a little more about herself, I can't wait Ness !!
I DONT care what anyone has to say her music is literally so good😭😭
Fr idec if y’all attack attack me for admitting it LMFAO IT RLLY IS GOOD
Nessa hasn't made a song that I haven't liked yet, she's incredible 💪🏾🖤
“I keep your secret safe, u better run, coz I got the gun” omg the lyrics are amazing 🤩
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html Enjoyy
i read this as she said it
all of nessa’s songs r incredible. her lyrics r just😍
Her voice and aesthetic is so cool🖤
She has a healthy relationship but creates a very deep meaningful song.. Wow a true artist..
her EP helped me get through the worst time of my life mentally. i genuinely feel like it saved me in some sort of way. i was going through the worst break up of my life and had gotten my first suspension from school right around the same time for something someone else did. i know that doesn’t sounds like a big deal but i need to apply to colleges so the suspension added more stress to my life i didnt need. i had developed an eating disorder around this time because i felt so sick i couldn’t eat which then lead to me being scared of food and i was weighing myself more then 10 times a day and only eating popcorn once a day. because i wasn’t eating i was 10 times more emotional so i began self harming again for the first time in years. when she announced she was releasing this masterpiece soon it gave me something to look forward and once it came out i could relate to every song and it genuinely helped me heal. she doesn’t understand how amazing she really is and how much she’s helping so many people get through some tough times. we love you ness and can’t wait to see what happens with your career in the future🖤🖤
This queen, this song, all the songs- *nessa you’ve done it again*
kzhead.info/sun/pcOcXbaCfqKDfp8/bejne.html
Her songs make me feel things which I didn't know they have existed before
Ok I’m in love with this song. Had to listen to it twice. I just know i’ll be listening to it all the time. And it really hits different when you have an ex who made you feel like this for an entire year... Another amazing masterpiece .
I'm so obsessed with her ep I have been waiting for a while for this and the wait wasn't in vain. Ever since pain I knew there was something different about this girl she is so talented I love her so much
I don't care about the drama,she's talented,i love her music!
