Hands Tied Eyes Closed
Breaking Inhibitions: Hands Tied, Eyes Closed
Lyrics
Hands tied, eyes closed.
Feeling restricted or limited, unable to act freely.
So many things I've had to say
There are many things the speaker wishes to express.
So many chances have escaped.
Missed opportunities or chances that have passed by.
Facing life with blinders on
Approaching life with a narrowed perspective or limited awareness.
A slave to my own inhibitions.
Feeling controlled by one's own fears and doubts.
And at times there's peace
Moments of tranquility or calmness.
Moments of release
Instances of relief from the overwhelming fear.
From the terror that petrifies life.
The fear that paralyzes and makes life difficult.
But it never lasts
Peace doesn't endure, overshadowed by difficulties.
The sky's are overcast.
A sense of gloom or darkness.
The bravado is washed away.
The courage or confidence fades away.
Hands tied, eyes closed.
Reiteration of feeling constrained and unable to act.
The things I've had to say
The speaker repeats the urge to express things.
Chances I've let escape
Regrets for missed opportunities.
Watch them slip away, watch them die out.
Watching opportunities slip away and fade.
Always there
Constant presence of fear.
Hidden fear
Fear hidden within oneself, causing doubt.
Of self doubt
Feeling trapped and unable to escape.
Can't break out.
Determination not to let fear control.
I won't let it win
Resolute to not allow fear to prevail.
I can't let it win.
Firm determination not to yield to fear.
I won't let it win
Reaffirming the resolve against fear's influence.
I can't let it win.
Strong determination not to succumb to fear.
Close my eyes and hope
Hoping for relief by avoiding the issue.
Hope it goes away
Wishing for fears to disappear.
Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
Desiring safety from fears, hoping for another day without them.
Close my eyes and hope
Repeating the hope for relief by ignoring the problem.
Hope it goes away
Wishing for fears to vanish.
Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
Hoping for safety from fears for yet another day.
