Lyrics
Restrictive father, worried mother, let me live
Expressing the desire for freedom from restrictive parents who are overly concerned.
Paranoid feelings, negative actions, let me live
Describing the impact of paranoid feelings and negative actions on the plea for freedom.
It's like all of my life, I've had these chains on me
Reflecting on a lifetime burdened by metaphorical chains, possibly symbolizing oppression.
It's like all of my life, I never will be set free
Expressing a pessimistic view that the speaker may never escape the metaphorical chains.
It's like all of my life, you've had a hold on me

It's like all of my life, I should be set free
Asserting the belief that the speaker should be liberated from the mentioned influence.
I'm not wearing orange, but I'm still in a cell
Metaphorically describing a sense of confinement or imprisonment without physical restraints.
I got no numbers on me, I'm captive in my well
Highlighting a feeling of being captive despite lacking visible identifiers, like numbers.
I don't got handcuffs on me, but I'm two hands down
Expressing a metaphorical state of helplessness, though not physically restrained.
I'm counting down the days, till I can get out of this jail
Counting down to a future moment when the speaker anticipates liberation or freedom.
Get out of this jail
Reiterating the desire to escape from the metaphorical jail.
Tyrannical ruler, no sense of humor, you broke my rights all the time
Describing an authoritative figure lacking humor and violating the speaker's rights.
A judge condemned me, and now I can't leave, I need some money for bail
Describing a legal judgment trapping the speaker, seeking financial means for release.
It's like all of my life, I've had these chains on me
Repeating the theme of enduring metaphorical chains throughout life.
It's like all of my life, I never will be set free

It's like all of my life, you've had a hold on me

I'm not wearing orange, but I'm still in a cell

I got no numbers on me, I'm captive in my well
Emphasizing a feeling of captivity without conventional identifiers like numbers.
I don't got handcuffs on me, but I'm two hands down
