Alcatraz Metaphors Lyrics
While we used long fingernails to carve epitaphs into the floor, you were scratching freedom from concrete. Living in a world of gamblers and murder victims, I walk these corridors knowing of the net beneath. Your defiance has become legend within these walls, and we sit in our cells and hope you live enough life for the rest of us who did not make it out.

Liberation from entrapment.
I think your wrong, i believe this songs lyrics to be as clear as day, its a song about prison, and knowing the proper difference between similies and mataphors. Sully graduated college when he was nine so he doesnt need a grammar lesson, this song wouldnt even qualify to be played at Sully's high schools battle of the bands. YOUVE BEEN SMACKED!!!!!
It`s a tribute to the movie 'escape from Alcatraz' with Clint Eastwood.
