Over The Wall

A prisoner escapes from prison. If this is referring to any particular prison, it's probably Alcatraz, because that's the one they show in the music video.

Actually, I really think that this song is about the great wall of Berlin. The damn commies put people in jail if they disagreed with their facist rule. The wall of Berlin was 11 ft. tall, and it was rounded at the top so that if someone tried climbing it, they couldn't grab ahold of anything. Over the wall however were watch towers with armed guards, and sand pits. The sand pits were used to track someones foot prints if they did manage to climb the wall. I think this is what the song was about.

Sorry, but Communism and Facism are polar opposites....

i hate those damb fascist terrorist islamist eye raky yellow north korean red commie milltants. is what i would say if i were an ignoramus brainwashed by the oliarchic governments that 'rule' this earth.

i'm not sayin that communism is the way but commie bashing sure as hell is not, and i don't think this site is a place for the voice of ignorance. If you confuse black and white or blue and red you probably shouldn't tell us about how bad one is or how you love the other.

the same is true aabout religion polotics and evrything else. start to think before you start to talk

furthermore theres no lyrical evidence that suggests acetias view is the case. i may as well say its about the wall around my garden

I'm pretty convinced that this song is pretty much a "Carpe Diem" vibe.. Chucky's (or whomever the lyricist is) has got a fire under his ass after being beat down or missing out on life.. and wants to grab life by the balls and live a life of little or no compromise... and no one can stop him from reaching his goals. If its not about that, it would be a huge irony because its the perfect analogy. "Restart my life or self desctruction."

At first sight, it sound like a prisioner triyng to escape, but there are some phrases that sound much more like escaping from a social order or something like that.

Because it says "I've been a prisioner trapped in by fear", not by a jail or something. And it also says "Torture and hell in this town". I think is about the berlin wall but not in an explicit matter, but escaping from comunism or capitalism.

I think you guys are all wrong. This song is not about a real wall or prison, but a metaphorical one. The narrator has trapped himself in a prison of his own creation. "I've been a prisoner trapped in by fear." The narrator fears his only way out is to restart his life elsewhere or else destroy himself "Restart my life or self destruction to climb this wall." The narrator eventually breaks free of his mental prison, but it takes a lot of his energy and he almost looses it, "My sanity is all but gone my patience is growing weak I need to get a hold of myself I stare at the wall" The narrator is still haunted by his past, but he is determined to never fall back into place he was in before, "The search will not stop and hounds will not rest till I am back in my cell for if I am caught, I'll try it again over the wall I will go, I will go"
