Chains Lyrics

Cover art for Chains lyrics by Duran Duran

To me, This song is about a conflict of different Universes. One that is physical in nature, say being married to a woman but Not being very happy, & wanting to be with another woman that one just can Not be with. This is a rather sad song actually. It's about having to live with consequences that one has made, & yet wanting to find true happiness in another woman that is Loved.

I always thought it was speaking from a ghost's point of view. Too tired to be afraid of death, but the life cannot let go. Just need a little more time.

Quite possibly it could also be interpreted as someone on life support being disconnected...
