Chains Around Heaven
Unlocking Love's Chains: Black 'N Blue's Poetic Struggle
Lyrics
You got your problems and I got my share
You have your own difficulties, and I have mine
Put 'em together, we're going nowhere
When combined, our problems prevent any progress or resolution
I'm going to pieces, can't even get close
I'm falling apart emotionally and can't even approach
You're lookin' through me just like I was a ghost
You're ignoring me as if I'm invisible
Now if you know what I mean
Expressing a notion, asking for understanding
Her heart doesn't open for anyone
Her affection or emotions are not accessible to anyone
If I could just find the key
If only I could find the solution
To unlock the chains that surround her love
To break the barriers inhibiting her love
And I said, "Chains
Highlighting the presence of constraints
Chains around heaven
Describing the restraining effect on heavenly or ideal situations
Lock you away
Imprisoning someone away from another
They keep me from you forever"
The restraints keep the singer separated from the beloved indefinitely
I'm just a loser, but never a fool
Self-identifying as someone who fails but isn't ignorant
And I'll never listen to your stupid rules
Refusing to conform to unreasonable regulations
I can't find the answers ah, to what we should do
Unable to figure out the solutions to their predicament
Your heart is in chains I don't have a clue
Your heart is confined, and I don't understand what to do
Now if you know what I mean
Reiterating a previous notion
Her heart doesn't open for anyone
Her emotions remain closed off to everyone
If I could just find the key
Hoping to find the resolution or remedy
To unlock the chains that surround her love
To release the barriers preventing her love
And I said, "Chains
Repeating the theme of constraints
Chains around heaven
Emphasizing the limitations placed on heavenly situations
Lock you away
Confining someone away from another indefinitely
They keep me from you forever"
Describing the persistent separation caused by the restraints
And I said, "Chains
Reiterating the concept of restrictions
Chains around heaven
Depicting the boundaries around ideal circumstances
Lock you away
Keeping someone secluded from another indefinitely
They keep me from you forever, forever"
Stressing the perpetual nature of the separation caused by limitations
Chains, chains around heaven
Continuing to describe the restraints
Lock you away
Keeping someone away from another for an indefinite period
They keep me from you forever
Illustrating the enduring separation due to constraints
And I said, "Chains
Repeating the theme of limitations
Chains around heaven
Depicting the restrictions around ideal situations
Lock you away
Imprisoning someone away from another indefinitely
They keep me from you forever, forever"
Describing the ongoing separation caused by constraints
