Locked Up Songtext
von Circa '94

Bugs crawl from open spaces in the floor
The silence echoes so loud down the corridors
I′ve been so lonely for the longest time, I'm locked up
The dust dances in reflections in the light
Peered through the keyhole but nobody′s on the other side
Locked up in here and I don't know my crime, I'm locked up

I′m locked up

I′m locked up in my head
"You can't be sad," they said
"With worse things happening in this world, you′ve got nothing to be sad about"
I'm locked up and I wanna be free
It feels like I′m a wolf in the wool of a sheep
How I can I let go when I can't get out?

Counting the days until the end of my sentence
Boxed up and hid all my sadness as my penance
Hid in a place not even I could find, I′m locked up

I'm locked up


I'm locked up in my head
"You can′t be sad," they said
"With worse things happening in this world, you′ve got nothing to be sad about"
I'm locked up and I wanna be free
I′m set out like a jigsaw but I'm missing a piece
How can I rebuild when I′m not complete?

It's been years and I haven′t found myself
I guess that's just the way that I got my hand dealt
Still feel the same as I've always felt, I′m locked up
I wanna be free of the burden and the anguish
I′m howling words - no one speaks my language
Nothing left to say, my words decay

I'm locked up in my head
"You can′t be sad," they said
"With worse things happening in this world, you've got nothing to be sad about"
I′m locked up and I wanna be free
It's in the way that I move, in the way that I breathe
No matter what I do to shake it off, it lives, it breathes inside of me
I′m locked up in my head
I want my time in this cell to end
Tried making my escape but I don't have faith I'll ever truly be free of this place
I′m locked up and I wanna be free
I′m singing all these words to you and they all sound out of key
Could I ever truly say what I mean?
I'm locked up


I′m locked up
