Although it's not often mentioned, it is important to note that much of "Time Out of Mind" (including the title itself) comes from phrases used in "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. The phrase "twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound" comes from the description of the prisoners in the castle of the Giant Despair. This incredible song seems to be a song about a man struggling with sin and pride and the frustration that his desires of his sinful nature trap him in despair and prevent him from getting closer to God.
By the way, don't miss the amazing live version of this song featured on the Masked and Anonymous soundtrack!
