Woman in Chains
Unveiling the Chains of Love: Jamie Lancaster's Poignant Melody
Lyrics
You better love loving and you better behave
You should embrace love and exhibit proper behavior
You better love loving and you better behave
Reiteration of the importance of love and proper behavior
Woman in Chains
Reference to a woman experiencing constraint or oppression
Woman in Chains
Repetition of the theme of a woman in a state of constraint
Calls her man the Great White Hope
The woman refers to her partner as the "Great White Hope"
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Despite challenges, she claims to be fine and resilient
Woman in Chains
Reiteration of the woman's constrained state
Woman in Chains
Continued emphasis on the woman being in chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
Expresses the idea that waiting and lying down is a disadvantage for a poor man
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Feeling burdened and oppressed by the partner's intense gaze
It's a world gone crazy
Commentary on a world that seems chaotic
Keeps Woman in Chains
The chaotic world is depicted as keeping the woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
The woman trades her soul for survival
Sells the only thing she owns
She sells the only possession she has
Woman in Chains
Reiteration of the woman being in chains
Woman in Chains
Continued emphasis on the woman's constrained state
Men of Stone
Reference to men characterized as unyielding and unfeeling
Men of Stone
Repetition of the concept of men being like stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can't heal
Suggests deep emotional wounds that time cannot heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Feeling that someone is struggling to survive or breathe
Well you know what I mean
Reiteration that the world is chaotic and challenging
It's a world gone crazy
Chaos in the world is causing the woman to be in chains
Keeps Woman in Chains
Continued emphasis on the woman's constrained state
It's under my skin but out of my hands
Feeling affected by external factors but unable to control them
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand
Expressing a lack of understanding despite attempting to confront the situation
I will not accept the Greatness of Man
Rejecting the notion of the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Reiteration that the chaotic world keeps the woman in chains
Keeps Woman in Chains
Continued emphasis on the woman's constrained state
So Free Her
An appeal to liberate the woman from her constraints
So Free Her
Repetition of the plea to set the woman free
