This song is about Tilikum and how humanity treats animals for their own profit.
lyrics
Tilikum - Krachwerke
On the side-lines watching you, adoring cheering what you do
Forced performance, a freak, a show, Captivating forced control
On the side-lines watching you, Frightened people caging you
Chorus
Cage the beast, the freak, the show
Voyeuristic, Selfish, Joke
Brutal pain, the loss, the gain
Fear the loss of self-control
On the side-lines watching you, graceful show in the blue
Forced performance, you're weak it shows, captivated, no one knows
On the side-lines watching you, your place is here, cry, don't go
Chorus
Cage the beast, the freak, the show
Voyeuristic, Selfish, Joke
Brutal pain, the loss, the gain
Fear the loss of self-control
On the side-lines watching you, you kill and cry, they still want you
Forced performance, greed is might, money made from Black and White
You'll live for years, your seed is gold, true story left untold
Chorus
Cage the beast, the freak, the show
Voyeuristic, Selfish, Joke
Brutal pain, the loss, the gain
Fear the loss of self-control
