Captive
Breaking Chains: Embrace Freedom in Sarah Henri's 'Captive'
Lyrics
You say you wanna change
You express a desire for change.
But there's nothing you can do
You feel powerless or limited in your ability to bring about that change.
You say you wanna believe
You express a desire to believe in something.
But something stops you
There's an obstacle preventing you from fully embracing that belief.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm.
Uh uh uh
-'Cause there's a hole in the middle of your heart
There is an emotional void or emptiness in the center of your being.
And you wanna fill it
You want to fill the emotional void in your heart.
And there's a pain deep in your soul
There's a profound pain within your soul.
But you can't heal it
You struggle to find healing for this inner pain.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm.
Uh uh uh mh
-So turn your head, look around
Shift your focus, observe your surroundings.
There's so much you keep missing
You're missing out on a lot due to fixation on certain things.
'Cause you're hanging on the things that keep you
Your fixation is keeping you confined or restrained.
Captive uh uh uh uh
Repetition of the state of being captive.
Captive, oh uh uh uh
-And all those things that happened
Reference to past events that still affect you.
You can't forget
Those past events are difficult to forget.
And you can't go ahead
Difficulty in moving forward due to dwelling on the past.
'Cause you're always looking back
You are consistently looking back instead of forward.
So turn your head, look around
Repetition of the need to shift focus.
There's so much you keep missing
-'Cause you're hanging on the things that keep you
Repetition of being captive due to fixation.
Captive uh uh
-Captive, oh uh uh uh
Continuation of the theme of feeling captive.
You wanna start breathing
You express a desire to start breathing, a metaphor for truly living.
You wanna start living
You want to engage fully in life.
You wanna say something
You have something to say or express.
There's so much you wanna give and
You have a lot to offer and contribute.
You need to trust yourself
The importance of trusting oneself is emphasized.
So all the good things go their way yeah
Positive things will happen when you trust yourself.
So turn your head, look around
Repetition of the need to shift focus for a fuller life.
There's so much you keep missing
-'Cause you're hanging on the things that keep you
Reiteration of being captive due to fixation.
Captive
-But you wanna be free yeah
You desire freedom from the constraints holding you back.
You just you just wanna be free
A clear expression of the desire for freedom and happiness.
And happy yeah
The ultimate goal is to be free and happy.
