There's No Way Out Of Here Lyrics
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you've played
The chance you took
There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
So get it right
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
Your life slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
If you say no
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
You blow your only chance away
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There was no promise made
The part you've played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
When you come in
You're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you've played
The chance you took
There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
So get it right
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
If you say no
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
You blow your only chance away
When you look out
You don't see in
There was no promise made
The part you've played
The chance you took
There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

I think that 'here' refers to life. You can't waste time, you must do as much as you can with it as you can because it "slips through your hands like grans of sand - You watch it go"
I also thought this song was about life in general at first... But the more I listened to it and thought about it, the more I started to think it's about carrying out a life-long prison sentance.
There was no promise made The part you've played The chance you took
These seem like they refer to participating in the crime that landed the person in prison to begin with.
I think this song is mostly about an obsessive relationship....you came here willingly, you participated, now here are the rules....you are taking more than you give, but that is not the way it works in this situation.

I think it's about life. In prison there are plenty of boundaries set.
