Pretty Painted Prison
Breaking Free from Gilded Chains
Lyrics
The gold of the trophy
The achievement symbolized by a trophy made of gold.
Stays safe in the crystal case
The trophy is protected in a crystal case.
In the glass I catch my reflection
Observing one's own reflection in the glass.
A prisoner ready to escape
Feeling like a captive, eager for liberation.
I've been waitin' for
Expressing impatience or anticipation for something.
So long
Emphasizing a prolonged duration of waiting.
So long
Repetition emphasizing the extended period of waiting.
The ache that burns inside of me is wild like a fire
Describing an intense internal pain resembling a wild fire.
If you try to put it out it only gets higher
Suggesting efforts to quench the pain may exacerbate it.
Burning all I can see
The fire metaphorically consuming everything in sight.
The jungle in front of me
Referring to a challenging and tangled situation ahead.
Which hides the truth
A jungle as a metaphor for a complex situation hiding the truth.
I've been living in these woods for way too long
Having endured a prolonged period in challenging circumstances.
This fake facade I've been calling my home
Describing a false exterior that has been considered home.
It's time to burn it down
Expressing a decision to dismantle and eliminate the facade.
Let's burn it down
Encouraging the act of breaking down the deceptive facade.
I've been waitin' for
Reiterating the sense of prolonged anticipation.
So long
Repetition emphasizing an extended period of waiting.
So long
Continuation of the theme of prolonged waiting.
So long
Further emphasis on the extended duration of waiting.
So long
Continuation of the extended waiting theme.
So long
Reiterating the prolonged duration of waiting.
So long
Continuation of expressing an extended period of waiting.
