| Creed – My Own Prison Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A court is in session, a verdict is in No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin Here he is just telling us that this song is about his sin, not to be confused with an actual court appeal The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel Silence now the sound My breath the only motion around Demons cluttering around My face showing no emotion Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return Here there is no penance My skin begins to burn My Own Prison is captured here, his emotional state for the sin he has commited. He feels trapped, isolated, damned, guilt is eating him alive. (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) We're held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one He's trying to think positive here, but hides his true feelings he has inside from people he knows that would love to see him in a negative state. The captive out from the sun part.....He's saying that we do bad things in life, and some just don't. I hear a thunder in the distance See a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given On that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness Only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden And grant me life eternally Here he is telling us that he found his religion again and it's the answer for him Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time He did something here that he really regretted doing, and then after he feels that he is not going to dwell on his mistakes and move on with his life. I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison He is looking for direction here, and turns to his religious beliefs |
