Locked Down
Fleeing Shadows: Crystal Skulls' Evocative Tale of Desperation
Lyrics
Where you running now
Questioning the destination of the person's escape.
Someplace you hope to be found
Seeking a place where they can be discovered or recognized.
Falling on your knees
Symbolic imagery of desperation, perhaps facing challenges.
Like a beggar
Comparing the person's state to that of a beggar, indicating vulnerability.
Nobody showed you how
Highlighting a lack of guidance or instruction in life.
To make your daddy proud
Suggesting a desire for approval from a parental figure.
The fever ran its course
Referring to a period of intense experience, possibly illness or emotional turmoil.
Feeling no remorse for your body
No regret for the consequences suffered by the body during the fever.
And if you see the morning
Possibly addressing a challenging situation continuing into the morning.
You're keeping out of the sun
Avoiding exposure to difficulties, staying in the shadows.
And now it's coming down
Suggesting a negative situation or circumstance descending upon the person.
You need another way out
Seeking an alternative escape route from the current predicament.
Can't beat those reasons for leaving
Acknowledging valid reasons for departing or leaving a situation.
Without the money
Stating a difficulty in leaving without financial resources.
Cross town when no one's looking
Suggesting a discreet departure when no one is paying attention.
You're getting ready to run
Preparation for imminent departure.
Those men know where you're going
Implies someone is aware of the person's destination.
They know you left with a gun
Indicating the person departed with a weapon.
And if you see the morning
Reiteration of avoiding exposure to difficulties in the morning.
You're keeping out of the sun
Reiteration of the awareness of the person's destination.
Those men know where you're going
Reiterating the knowledge of the person's destination, emphasizing departure with a gun.
They know you left with a gun
-So where you running now
Repetition of the initial question, emphasizing the urgency of escape.
Someplace you hope to be found
Reiteration of the desire to be found in a new place.
Falling on your knees
Recurrence of the symbolic image of falling on one's knees, suggesting continued struggle or submission.
Like a beggar
Reiteration of the comparison to a beggar, emphasizing a state of vulnerability.
