The Great Escape
Unraveling the Mystery: What Gave You the Right
Lyrics
What gave you the right
Questioning the legitimacy or authority of someone's actions
I wonder
Expressing curiosity or disbelief about the justification
What gave you the right
Continuation of questioning the right or authority
I wonder
Reiteration of wonderment about the legitimacy
What gave you the right
Continuing to question what justifies someone's actions
I wonder
Expressing ongoing curiosity about the right or authority
What gave you the right
Further inquiry into what gives someone the right
I wonder
Continued expression of wonder about the legitimacy
Your name is written in ink
Referring to a tangible representation of identity (name in ink)
Yet we are not to know
Questioning the secrecy or privacy surrounding the person
You've gotta run son
Advising someone to escape, even if it's a small distance
Boy even if it's just next door
Encouraging escape, possibly from a challenging situation
Oh you got your family name
Acknowledging the possession of a family name
You got your fathers stare
Noting the resemblance or sternness inherited from the father
But nobody knows your father
Highlighting the mystery or lack of knowledge about the father
Nobody out here cares
Emphasizing the lack of concern from the external world
I wonder
Repeating the wonderment about the right or authority
What gave you the right
Reiteration of the questioning of someone's actions
I wonder
Continued expression of curiosity or disbelief
What gave you the right
Further inquiry into what justifies someone's actions
Yes they tell us today
Referring to information shared about the person's escape
Of your great escape
Acknowledging awareness of the escape and its narration
I try to imagine the wounds
Attempting to understand the emotional or physical impact
I try to feel the weight
Reflecting on the burden or significance of the escape
No your folks they were not suited
Stating the unsuitability of the person's family
And your neighbors knew the same
Indicating community awareness of the family's situation
You're just some kid, gone, locked in a house
Describing the person as a trapped, unknown individual
Nobody knows your name
Emphasizing the anonymity and lack of recognition
And I wonder
Repeating the wonderment about the right or authority
What gave you the right
Continuation of questioning the legitimacy of actions
I wonder
Expressing ongoing curiosity or disbelief
What gave you the right
Further inquiry into what justifies someone's actions
And then I get start thinking
Transitioning to contemplation about the situation
If I wonder long enough
Expressing prolonged contemplation and thought
I realize all you needed
Realization that the person needed love as a solution
Was to downright just be loved
Highlighting the simplicity of the solution (just be loved)
And I wonder
Repeating the wonderment about the right or authority
What gave you the right
Continuation of questioning the legitimacy of actions
I wonder
Expressing ongoing curiosity or disbelief
What gave you the right
Further inquiry into what justifies someone's actions
I wonder
Reiteration of wonderment about the legitimacy
What gave you the right
Continued expression of wonder about the legitimacy
I wonder
Continuation of questioning the right or authority
What gave you the right
Final expression of wonder about the legitimacy
