Locked Doors: A Reflection on Freedom and Fear
Lyrics
How have I got here?
Questioning one's current situation or circumstances.
What have I done to deserve it?
Reflecting on actions and contemplating if they merit the current situation.
I just feel like everything we sewed
Expressing a sense of everything created (sewed) being at risk of falling apart.
Is about to split

I don't know what to do with it
Feeling uncertain about how to handle the situation.
I don't know what to say to you
Expressing a struggle to find the right words or actions.
Just don't hold me forever
Desiring not to be held back indefinitely.
And you'll be happy too

I don't know where I belong

Why do you lock the doors when all the windows open to me?
Pondering why barriers are created (doors locked) when there are open opportunities (windows).
Why do you close your eyes when everybody is looking at you?

Tell me what's going through your mind
Seeking insight into the thoughts of the other person.
Tell me what are you afraid of
Asking about fears or concerns that might be hindering openness.
I just want you to be free and live your life like anybody else without one of my kind

Why do you close your eyes when everybody is looking at you?
