In The Castle
In The Castle: A Game of Love and Isolation
Lyrics
Staring straight ahead I keep moving
Continuing to move forward while focused.
When I hear them calling my name
Hearing calls or attention from others.
I strike them dead in all their disapproving
Defeating those who disapprove, dismissing their opinions.
They don’t know I’m playing a game
Others are unaware of the individual's true intentions or motives.
I wanna be inside
Expressing a desire to be physically present in a particular place or situation.
I wanna be inside with you
Specifically wanting to be inside with someone, seeking closeness or intimacy.
Another day I’m out there nervous and frenetic
Feeling anxious and frantic in daily situations.
Sick of taking all the abuse
Tired of enduring mistreatment or criticism.
Imagining them dying’s like an anesthetic
Imagining others' demise as a way to cope, but realizing it's ineffective.
But it isn’t any use
Understanding that the imagined scenario doesn't change the situation.
I wanna be inside
Reiterating the desire to be present in a particular place or situation.
I wanna be inside with you
Specifically desiring closeness or intimacy in that situation.
And you know I’m serious
Asserting the sincerity of emotions.
When there’s no one here with us
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the connection between "us."
It’s like paradise at last
Describing the situation as akin to paradise due to the intimacy and secrecy.
Secret words and sacred vows
Highlighting the importance of secret communication and promises.
So they can’t infect us now
Intending to protect themselves from external influences.
We’re never going out again
Deciding to avoid going out anymore.
Finally alone and finally united
Finally finding unity and being alone together.
Guarded by the amulets
Protected by charms or safeguards.
Locked away protected from the uninvited
Securing themselves from unwelcome intrusion.
We’ve eliminated every threat
Feeling confident in eliminating all potential threats.
I wanna be inside
Reiterating the desire for closeness or intimacy in a specific place or situation.
I wanna be inside with you
Desiring to be physically present inside that space with someone.
I wanna be inside of you
Expressing intimacy more explicitly.
We’re never going out again
Firmly deciding to avoid going out in the future.
