Analysis of Let me out!



Am i in the right frame of mind
or is it just wrong place, wrong time
I see my blindness, feel my hands grabbing nothing but air
Its myself I scare, sometimes its like I just don't care
Cos I shut myself out, without a doubt I hear myself scream,
Let me out!

Let me out! Out of this cage I put myself in
Letting others tell my story cos writing makes my head spin
I wanna feel but as soon as I do, I jump out of my skin
Where do I fucking begin.
Haven't defined the difference between virtue and sin...

Let me out!! It kills me to see myself wait
Along with the ones I love, the ones I hate
Let creativity flow, my real inner state
Tired of surviving, and using my soul as bate
Watching while we all let our uniqueness deflate
Within, we stop before we begin...we await
Our fate...bullshit it is, society sedates
Chaos numbs my lips in this endless debate
Confused I destruct what I can also create

Let me out!!
I'm waiting a day that will never come
Like notes of a song which hasn't been sung
I will always dread the spoken and unsaid
Both lethal and in disguise, from both I have bled
Meaning of life, hanging by a single thread
Its our own power we neglect!!

Let me out!! Let me scream let me shout!
feel trapped and trampled on before I even leave my house
I know I'm a dragon but I feel like a mouse.
I'm squeaking but its not my voice its my doubt.

Wanna get out, but no ones letting me inside
I think they're the predators, but its from myself I hide
I feel weak, unable to speak, visions blurry, eyes open wide.
Awaiting a guide, to confide, help me decide. Access denied.

Let me out!! I'm letting myself out, not waiting any longer
Fuck it...my weaknesses will allow me to grow stronger!

GET THE F*CK OUT!!!
LET YOURSELF THE F*CK OUT!!!
