"In the Body Cage" is not just a song—it's an introspective journey into the psychological prison of human existence. Crafted entirely by Poria Maftoon, this single is a deep sonic exploration of isolation, existential burden, and the limitations of the physical form.
Released on January 10, 2021, In the Body Cage marked a pivotal moment for Endwayz—both in sound and in vision. It showcases a masterful fusion of aggressive metal instrumentation and haunting philosophical lyricism, capturing the essence of the human struggle between flesh and freedom.
The lyrics in In the Body Cage delve into existential philosophy, drawing influence from thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche. The song critiques the illusion of freedom while pointing to the constraints of corporeal existence. It asks: Are we ever truly free, or are we eternally trapped within the boundaries of flesh and mind?
Lines such as:
“Veins like wires, pumping fear—
This body’s cage is far too near”
...highlight the tension between the inner self and its physical vessel, painting a bleak yet thought-provoking picture of internal imprisonment.
If you're a fan of dark, thought-provoking metal that blends raw emotion, complex lyrics, and masterful production, In the Body Cage is a must-listen. The intense atmosphere, heavy riffs, and philosophical edge create a listening experience that lingers long after the final note fades.
This single stands as a defining release for Endwayz, representing the depth and uniqueness of their musical and conceptual identity.

Endwayz - In the Body Cage
Chains of flesh, I feel them tighten,
Walls of bone, the dark’s ignited.
Heartbeat pounding, a drum of rage,
Trapped inside this body cage.
Eyes can see but can’t break free,
Fingers claw, but I’m still weak.
A prison of blood, a mind enslaved,
Screaming out from a hollow grave.
In the body cage, I’m bound by fate,
Fighting shadows I can’t escape.
Soul’s on fire, but the bars remain,
A war within, driving me insane.
Flesh is fragile, a fragile lie,
Bound to break before I die.
Veins like rivers, carrying despair,
Shackled to a mask I wear.
No salvation, no release,
Every breath steals my peace.
The reaper waits, a key in hand,
Yet I resist; I’ll make my stand.
In the body cage, I’m bound by fate,
Fighting shadows I can’t escape.
Soul’s on fire, but the bars remain,
A war within, driving me insane.
Tear the skin, reveal the steel,
The soul inside can finally heal.
I won’t be bound by mortal chains,
I’ll rise above this flesh domain.
In the body cage, I’ve fought my fight,
Cracked the bars, reached the light.
The war is won, my soul released,
In the ashes now, I find my peace.
