"'Rib Cage' is about the feeling of homesickness finding itself in a person or partner rather than a physical house. When you find your person and love someone they often become your “home”. I moved so frequently as a kid, had divorced parents and never truly felt settled. I don’t have a family home to go to or reference in my memories so I’ve found the feeling of homesickness attaching itself to a person my whole life.
I recently have been dating around and finally have a partner now, and already I can sense myself starting to know them inside and out the way one would memorize every floorboard and paint chip in a family home. This song has helped me come to terms with the feeling of being uprooted and a nomad all my life and redirecting what to focus that feeling on. 'I’m searching through your ribcage like a closet | use your lungs as my pillow | I know you with my eyes closed | like something that I’d miss, you could be nostalgic' pins the feeling of experiencing someone becoming a home."
