Chained
Unveiling Emotional Turmoil: "Chained" by Manic Mice
Lyrics
She lies in silence
She remains quiet and still.
Drawing lines inside her mind
She mentally delineates divisions or boundaries.
The line between the sea and sky
Refers to the distinction between the ocean and the sky, possibly symbolizing vastness and separation.
The one between her heart and mine
Represents the emotional boundary between her and someone else.
She walks in secret
She moves around discreetly.
Pretending to see all around
Acting as if she comprehends everything around her.
The stones that roll behind her back
Refers to past mistakes or issues that have resurfaced.
The ones already fallen down
Refers to troubles or problems that have already occurred.
She fears the carousel of life
She is afraid of the unpredictable nature of life.
The traps awaiting in the night
Fear of potential difficulties lurking in the darkness.
The ones disguised to make her cry
Alludes to hidden or deceptive situations causing distress.
I deceived the desert sun
Implies a metaphorical transformation or change.
Turned into wind to shape the way
Metaphorically, steering the course of events or circumstances.
I flew so free the skies of hope
Expresses the pursuit of hope and freedom.
To get to you and find you chained
The attempt to reach someone, only to find them constrained or restricted.
I deceived the desert sun
Repetition of previous lines to emphasize the sentiment.
Turned into wind to shape the way
-I flew so free the skies of hope
-To get to you and find you chained
-She cries the past
She mourns over the bygone events or situations.
Making plans about what's gone
Reflecting on past occurrences and strategizing about them.
The plans the hours hid below
Alludes to opportunities that were previously overlooked or dismissed.
The chances she once let go
Regret over lost chances.
She builds her future
She constructs her forthcoming life.
Praying lonely by the window
Praying or hoping while feeling isolated.
She raised walls so damn high
Symbolizes emotional barriers she's built.
Oh, but I'm waiting in the dark
Waiting for someone in the darkness.
She wanders through the book of time
Exploring the passage of time and its lessons.
Betting her tears with ghosts
Possibly making futile bets or investments in past experiences.
Waiting for fate to take hold
Anticipating destiny or fate to intervene.
I deceived the desert sun
Reiteration of previous lines to emphasize commitment or struggle.
Turned into wind to shape the way
-I flew so free the skies of hope
-To get to you and find you chained
-I deceived the desert sun
-Turned into wind to shape the way
-I flew so free the skies of hope
-To get to you and find you chained
-I can see the sadness of your days
An understanding or recognition of her sorrowful moments.
Why can't you leave it all behind?
A question directed at her, urging her to move on from the past.
Got to pull the shades of doubt away
Encouragement to dispel uncertainties or insecurities.
Unveil your dance under the stars
Urging her to reveal her true self or talents.
I deceived the desert sun
Repeated lines emphasizing determination to overcome obstacles for the person she cares about.
Turned into wind to shape the way
-I flew so free the skies of hope
-To get to you and find you chained
-I deceived the desert sun
-Turned into wind to shape the way
-I flew so free the skies of hope
-To get to you and find you chained
