I think that Open Up is about the Mexican border and Jesus. They were looking for me when I came to they were looking for me when I came back, means that the guards of the border were searching for people like him when they were crossing the border. They said hey you look very suspicious I said relax man get off my back, means that you look like a criminal and you want the person to know that you are not a criminal. I, I, I ain't opposed to seeking justice
But you're going about it all wrong
The man you're looking for does not exist
He's just a figment of the higher man's tongue, means that he does not want to argue and your wrong about me I am not bad, The person you want to see is not here and I'm not him and figment of the other mans tongue means It is something that might seem real but is actually not.
And they say
Open up we're coming inside
You can't run so you may as well hide
We got the place covered from head to toe, head to toe
Open up we're coming inside
What's it feel like to know you're going to die
On the other side of the row, means hey look out we are coming to inspect you we have you and all you can do is hide from us and we have security from one side of the wall to the other and we will kill you on the other side of the wall. So they took me down to the gallows
And this boy he said to me
Why do you smile when the rope's around your neck
I said I tell you boy when I get back, this part relates to Jesus though. The gallows are prison and people get executed sadly for crossing the border illegally and legally. Here is the jesus part- The line "Why do you smile when the rope's around your neck?" could symbolize resilience in the face of suffering, much like how Jesus remained composed during his trial and execution.
Hands above your head
Hands above your head
Que le via bien
Step out of line and we'll fill you with lead
How are we to know that you are not a liar
Don't you see we have a job to do
And our job is the law, job is the law
You fit the description of a criminal crosser
We believe that he is you and that is your flaw
That is your flaw
, Hands above your head your arrested and que le via bien means have a good day and if you cross the line we shoot you. We do not have proof you are not a liar [they do not have proof you are a LIAR!!!] and it is our duty and our job is the law and you fit descriptions of a illegal immigrant and we think you are one and that is your flaw.
I think this song is really sad in these times with Trump as president. This takes place here in the USA! This song relates too much when you get the lyrics. Well that is my political opinion

If I were to give them feedback, I’d say: your passion is clear, and the way you connect lines to broader ideas, Jesus, injustice, fear, hope; it makes the song feel alive and important. Maybe just tighten up the writing in places so your message lands even stronger. But your heart’s in it, and that always comes through.
