Get up and free yourself from yourself.

Locked up inside you,
like the calm beneath castles,


is a cavern of treasures that
noone has been to.
Let's go digging.
Bring it out to take you back in.

Freeing yourself from yourself. I think of freeing the shadow which is locked up inside you from your conscious self which is not allowing this. The Shadow is being called a cavern of treasures. (Something you must work for in order to obtain.)

Also with the lyric: You won't do what you'd like to do.

You are stopping yourself from doing stuff that you really want to do. Again, makes me think of the shadow.
ah, okay.. thought you meant when he literally said "shadow."

yeah, 4 degrees is similar... though I think it's really his "divine" conscious (shadow) talking and pleading to him throughout the song.
