Discover the story of the song > Telescope – Cage The Elephant

The song is about a man who feels lonely and trapped in his own life. He sees himself in another person through his telescope and wonders about the meaning of his own existence. He is afraid of facing the truth and spends his time doing pointless things. The chorus emphasizes the importance of not wasting time and making the most of it, as it can be time well spent or time wasted. The bridge talks about wanting to escape and be free from the constraints of society, but ultimately realizing that loneliness persists.
