Hold up!
Had enough of these modern times
About to drive me out of my mind
And you know this too well
I'm holed up in my little cell, yeah!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Friends took me to a freak show
I thought I think I've seen it all before
Well Can I get a look at you, girl?
Maybe take a peek in your world?
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up
Modern girl, you're so kind
You're gonna help me get through this time, well
And you know me too well
You didn't break a bone, you broke into my prison cell
Hold up!
Hold up!
I'm holed up!
Hold up, I'm holed up
Had enough of these modern times
About to drive me out of my mind
And you know this too well
I'm holed up in my little cell, yeah!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Friends took me to a freak show
I thought I think I've seen it all before
Well Can I get a look at you, girl?
Maybe take a peek in your world?
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up!
Hold up
Modern girl, you're so kind
You're gonna help me get through this time, well
And you know me too well
You didn't break a bone, you broke into my prison cell
Hold up!
Hold up!
I'm holed up!
Hold up, I'm holed up

Pretty simple, I think:
The character hates the modern age. Hence, he holes himself up in his own little world. His friends take him out and show him around, but he just feels jaded by everything he sees. However, a girl catches his eye and eventually opens him up/restores his faith that despite all of the problems in the world, there's still beauty in it.
