The Story Behind This Song

You cannot box this. You cannot label this. You cannot shrink this to fit your comfort zone. I am uncontainable — and this song is the proof.

Lyrics

I am fire in a velvet cage
I am love that won’t behave
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

You mistook my stillness for surrender
Thought my silence meant I agreed
You closed the door and called it distance
Like love was something you could take from me

I am fire in a velvet cage
I am love that won’t behave
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

I’m the one you couldn’t shake, shake, shake
I’m the one you can’t shut up, up, up
You tried to leave me in the quiet
Now I’m the echo in your head
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

I held my breath, held my tongue till it bled
Rules I never chose ringing in my chest
But you don’t get to write me out
Just because you turned your head
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

My love is pure, my rage is clean
Both can live inside of me

I’m not threatening — I’m inevitable
Uncontainable
Unavoidable

I am fire in a velvet cage
I am love that won’t behave
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable

I learned how silence bends the truth
How absence shifts the blame
I didn’t change the story
I just stopped playing the role
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

Unmanipulated
Irrefutable
Still here
(beat breathes)
Unmanipulated
Irrefutable
I stopped disappearing

I will not be contained
Still breathing
I will not be muted
Still loud
I am fire in a velvet cage
I am love that won’t behave
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
I’m the one you couldn’t shake, shake, shake
I’m the one you can’t shut up, up, up
You tried to leave me in the quiet
Now I’m the echo in your head
Say my name, say what you will
I am here
I am uncontainable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Say it slow
Say it loud
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Uncontainable
Unavoidable
Irreplaceable
Un-con-tain-a-ble
Un-con-tain-a-ble

Still here
Unmuted
Unavoidable
Say it again — Uncontainable
(Un-con-tain-a-ble…)
