Trapped Lyrics
Seems like I'm caught up
in your trap
again
Seems like I'll be
wearing the same
old chains
Good will conquer
Evil
And the truth will
set me free
And I know some
day I will find
the key
I know
somewhere I will
find the key
Seems like I've
been playing your
game way too long
Seems the game
I've played has
made you strong
When the game is
over
I won't walk out the
loser
I know I'll walk
out of here again
I know someday
I'll walk out of
here again
Well now I'm
Trapped
OOh yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Trapped
Seems like I've
been sleeping in
your bed too
long
Seems like you've
been meaning to
do me harm
But I'll teach my
eyes to see
Beyond these
walls in front of
me
Someday I'll walk
out of here again
Someday I'll walk
out of here again
Trapped
OOh yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Seems like I've
been playing your
game way too long
Seems the game
I've played has
made you strong
Trapped
OOh yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
Trapped
OOh Yeah
in your trap
again
Seems like I'll be
wearing the same
old chains
Good will conquer
Evil
And the truth will
set me free
And I know some
day I will find
the key
I know
somewhere I will
find the key
Seems like I've
been playing your
game way too long
Seems the game
I've played has
made you strong
When the game is
over
I won't walk out the
loser
I know I'll walk
out of here again
I know someday
I'll walk out of
here again

Awsome live song about how he is stuck in a relationship. Even though he can't stand this woman he still stays with her for some reason unknown to me.
the 'unkown' reasons are his kids and his financial security. He's waiting until his kids are older... and HE'S GONE!
while I agree with Taaahmm, he should have used "implies" rather than "infers"...
still, an amazing song, I go insane if he plays it in concert
is a cover of Jimmy Cliff's song..
@annazoff -- good of you to mention this. SongMeanings credits the lyrics to Bruce but that's incorrect attribution.

For me its a song to find hope in a seemingly hopeless situation........relationship possibly.
To me it's about addiction. Trapped, caught up in it. knowing there's a way out, The truth will set you free
Taaahmm is a homophobic douche pass it on
We like "The Boss" because he knows what it's like to be "Born in the USA". Sure, it's great the life we have, but we also have our difficulties along the road toward a more 'perfect union'. Springsteen reminds us of that in so many of his songs. This particular song, "Trapped"... How might it be interpreted by most any Black person living in the USA? Hmm... I just want to get closer to its real meaning.
I think it's about addiction relapse. Alcohol or drugs. But then again, being on a receiving end in an abusive relationship isn't so much different. You know it's bad, you hope to quit but don't know how, yet.
