Chains
Alex Yarmak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like no one's here, feels like nothing exists
Every time I see you there
Waiting for you to make another mistake
Hey, look up, there's nothing to strive for
If it is your path, then it's the end in itself
There's no point to live
Is buried inside you
Will you ever be
Able to hear your own
Voices that have been
Inside of you
The reason why you're here
Enough of those who fall
Nothing's left of them no more
There is nothing I can do
If you want them back
Release the chains that hold you back
Enough of those who crumble
The only thing that wakes you up
Deny what you desire
In "Chains" by Alex Yarmak, he expresses feelings of isolation and a sense of purposelessness. The opening lines suggest that the singer is in a place where they feel completely alone and invisible, and they are observing someone who they believe is making mistakes. The repetition of "every time" emphasizes the pattern of their experience, which reinforces their sense of hopelessness. The singer then challenges the listener, urging them to look up and realize that there is no ultimate end goal in life. It is simply about the journey and living in the present. They question the point of living if all one feels is pain that they cannot release.
The chorus seems to suggest that the key to feeling liberated is to listen to one's inner voice and find their reason for being. The repetition of "enough" reinforces the idea that the singer is calling for a change, urging the listener to break free from their limitations and find their own purpose. The metaphor of chains represents the obstacles that the singer believes are holding them back from living their life to the fullest.
In summary, "Chains" is a song about the struggles of feeling alone and directionless in life, and the importance of breaking free from self-imposed limitations to find one's purpose.
