These Walls Lyrics
Something missing
Left behind
Search in circles
Everytime I try
I've been here before, yeah
I've seen you before
I can't escape walking down these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead, better move along
Like clockwork
I commit the crime
I pretend to be
Everything they like
I've been here before, yeah
I've seen you before
I can't escape walking down these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead, better move along
And I trade everything for this
And I trade everything for this
Why do I read the writing on the wall?
Why do I read the writing on the wall?
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent to much time
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent to much time
Something missing
Left behind
Search in circles
Everytime I try
I've been here before, yeah
I've seen you before
I can't escape walking down these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead, better move along
And I trade everything for this
And I trade everything for this
Why do I read the writing on the wall?
Why do I read the writing on the wall?
Why do I read the writing on the wall?
Why do I read the writing on the wall?

Hard to find a place where there are no walls

This song is about someone who is missing out on something because of their own fears and insecurity. But they know they cant escape from wanting it or seeing it/thinking of it all the time. Yet they make the same mistakes "like clockwork" just to protect their reputation or pride. They've had this problem before but they still feel stuck and cant find a solution...but at the end he says "i wont loose my place in line i've been here too long and i've spent too much time" and at the end of the song you have faith that hes going to pull through this is my top 2 fav trapt song on the whole cd
@southernrocklove I agree with you on this. That's how I felt hearing this song.

The song is about doing everythign you want to do but you can't or won't do because of your fears. Its about stepping out of your comfort zone.
this is da best song
I agree. I think this song has the most creative lyrics.
"Hard to find a place where there are no walls And no lines begging me to cross "
"Why do I read the writing on the wall " LOVE it!
this song is so awesome I mean seriously these guys are just inspiratio =) really flippin brilliant !
this song is extra extra good. i can relate, its like someone who acts a certain way to be accepted but realizes its not who they really are. at the same time they know they cant change b/c so much time has been invested and they have gone so far with the lie-it would be like giving up social status to walk away. in the end they just want to be free of all the pressure
i love this song...but i hav to put a few corrections: I can't escape winding down these halls Had to find a place where there are no walls
i LOVE it....its soo good
The real corrections that sweetness was attempting to make: "I can't escape walking DOWN these halls Hard to find a place where there are no walls."
Possibly Trapt's best song (as of right now anyway). One question: Why is the song called "These Walls"? Why isn't it called "These Halls"? There is a reference to "these walls" in "Made of Glass"
If you listen closely to the song it really is "Winding down these halls" So sweatness was right

I totally agree with southernrocklive. I think the song is about all those things that you want to do, but can't for some reason or another.
