A Box Lyrics

Lonely days will come and go,
Nothing new unless
you're bold, revolution #19 brand new wave of anger
Stain yourself with pumpkin pie,
Liquid tattoo I got mine,
Don't forget forgetfulness, call it deconstruction

There is no room inside a box,
There is no room inside.

Way down in the deep depress,
Colder than the coldest yes,
We all know of loneliness others to another,
Just a place to run and hide
Just a place to free your mind,
Just a place to break the chains and find whatever matters

There is no room inside a box,
There is no room inside.

Cover art for A Box lyrics by King's X

I think this is a song about the dual nature of depression. The song was written by Doug Pinnick, who has spoken publicly about his battle with depression.

The "box" he s your room, or your home, the place where you are the most comfortable. When you're depressed, you often just want to stay there where you don't have to deal the pressures of the outside world. You can free your mind and think, say, and do whatever you like. A place to run and hide, a place to free your mind...

But there's a flip side to it. It can also become a prison. When you decide to stay home and not face the outside world, not to "be bold," then nothing ever happens, you experience "nothing new," which often exacerbate the depression.

There is no room inside a box, no room for new things, no room to grow.
