Lyrics
What looked like freedom from far away
Initial perception of freedom, deceptive from a distance.
Was a self-indulged restraint as it nears his face
As proximity increases, it reveals a self-imposed limitation.
He arrived in a prison
Arrival in a metaphorical prison, symbolic of constraints.
A cell built around by the need to escape
A cell formed by the compelling desire to break free.
He's thrown off the vine
Thrown away from a supportive environment or source.
Bury him deep

Bury him alive

Separated from a supportive environment, accentuating isolation.
