Built a Prison
Breaking Chains: Unraveling the Prison of Self-Created Struggles
Lyrics
I'm in a prison I built it for you
I've created a metaphorical prison, possibly in a relationship, for your sake.
I'm in and out all the time
I am frequently entering and leaving this self-imposed prison.
I found a hole where does it go
Discovered a problem or uncertainty; unsure of its consequences.
Let's fill it up and call it a day
Suggesting fixing the issue and moving on from it.
You've been working too hard
Addressing the listener, asserting they've been working hard and deserve recognition.
You deserve a raise
Repetition emphasizing the listener's deserving of a reward or acknowledgment.
You've been working too hard
Continuation of highlighting the listener's hard work.
You deserve a raise
Reiteration of deserving a raise, emphasizing it again.
I poured the water down the drain
Symbolic act of discarding something (water) akin to the speaker's life slipping away.
Just like my life floating all away
Comparing life to water draining away, suggesting a loss of purpose.
I'll leave the cash and the riddles behind
Leaving behind material wealth (cash) and puzzles (riddles) for an uncertain journey.
And take the road for a Sunday drive
Opting for a spontaneous road trip on a Sunday.
Yeah it's been too long
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
Gotta take some time
Emphasizing the need to take a break and relax.
Yeah it's been too long
Repetition underscoring the extended duration that has passed.
Gotta take some time
Reiterating the importance of taking a break.
I found a flaw in the master plan
Finding a flaw or issue in a grand plan with no apparent benefit.
Nothing to gain nowhere to go
Emphasizing the lack of gain and directionless nature of the situation.
You'll seek redemption all across the land
Suggesting a quest for redemption across a vast area.
But you hold the power in the palm of your hand
Empowering the listener, implying they possess the solution or control.
Gotta find them all
A call to action, urging the listener to discover something significant.
Do you feel the same
Questioning if the listener shares similar feelings or experiences.
Gotta find them all
Repeating the call to action, asking about shared emotions or experiences.
Do you feel the same
Reiterating the question, seeking confirmation of shared feelings.
Where do the liars go
Pondering the destination or fate of those who deceive or lie.
Where do the liars go
Repeating the question about the whereabouts of liars.
Where do the liars go
Continuing to inquire about the destination of those who deceive.
Where do the liars go
Reiteration, still questioning where liars ultimately end up.
