Unwind
Escape the Chains: Unwind with Character Witness
Lyrics
Pull you by the strings
Pulling someone with control or influence.
Oh you belong to me
Asserting ownership or control over the person.
Promises, with fingers crossed
Making promises insincerely or with intent to deceive.
It's easy to speak when you're not listening
Speaking without genuine interest in the other person.
Tell me, are you lost?
Questioning the person's sense of direction or purpose.
Your mind sinks as you're escaping
Experiencing a mental descent while escaping a situation.
High times during low tide
Good times during difficult moments.
I'm still drowning
Feeling overwhelmed despite positive experiences.
Step in to
Inviting someone to enter.
This dark lit room
Entering a dimly lit room with unknown implications.
We'll give you sugar
Offering comfort or pleasure.
We'll give you smoke
Providing distractions or escapes.
Finally, you'll be free
Anticipating freedom.
Slip away, slip away, slip away
Repeated urging to escape.
Slip away, Slip away
Further emphasis on the escape.
There it goes so warm and sweet
Describing a pleasurable sensation.
Now you can't feel your face or feet
Feeling numb or detached due to substances.
It's not a crime to cure that frown
Asserting the acceptability of finding joy in unconventional ways.
To dance around, to not come down
Encouraging carefree behavior and avoiding reality.
So it's high times for us low lives
Celebrating a carefree lifestyle despite challenges.
Feel the shiver down your spine
Experiencing a thrilling sensation.
But I'm still drowning
Despite thrills, still feeling overwhelmed.
Step in to
Inviting someone to enter again.
This dark lit room
Re-entering the mysterious room.
We'll give you sugar
Reiterating the offer of comfort or pleasure.
We'll give you smoke
Reiterating distractions or escapes.
Finally, you'll be free
Repeating the anticipation of freedom.
Slip away slip away slip away
Repeated urging to escape.
Pull you by the strings
Reiterating control over someone.
Because you belong to me
Reasserting ownership or control.
So just take your time and
Encouraging someone to take their time.
Unwind
Advising to relax or release tension.
Unwind
Repeating the advice to unwind.
Pull you by the strings
Reiterating control over someone.
Oh you belong to me
Reasserting ownership or control.
Step in to this dark lit room
Re-entering the mysterious room.
We'll give you sugar
Reiterating the offer of comfort or pleasure.
We'll give you smoke
Reiterating distractions or escapes.
Finally, you'll be free
Repeating the anticipation of freedom.
Slip away, slip away, slip away
Repeated urging to escape.
Pull you by your strings
Reiterating control over someone.
Because you belong to me
Reasserting ownership or control.
So just take your time and
Encouraging someone to take their time.
Unwind
Advising to relax or release tension.
Unwind
Repeating the advice to unwind.
Why?
Posing a rhetorical question about the motives behind the situation.
