Imprisoned
Asyndess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Held back by superhuman strengths
I can't rise to the virgin sky
Overwhelmed with sorrow, I rise my hands
For not to be swamped in the oceans of tears
Where I struggle in vain

Imprisoned in reality
Illusion is the only exit
To fly away without ever falling again
Can death free me out the invisible chains

May I reach one day the highest point in the airs
Where something will teach me the wisdom of freedom

Through the snow, the water or the sands
The result remains only the same
Crushed by the vile atmosphere
Or blackened by the insurmountable walls

Imprisoned in this cell called world
Death is my only hope
To flee with never be free
Can something show me at last the unknown exit





May I reach one day the highest point in the airs
Where something will teach me the wisdom of freedom

Overall Meaning

Imprisoned in 2-3 is a melancholic song about feeling stuck and restricted in the world. The first verse talks about how the singer is held back by “superhuman strengths” and cannot rise up to the “virgin sky.” The tone is one of despair and hopelessness. The singer is overwhelmed with sorrow and raises their hands, but it still feels like they are struggling in vain. The second verse speaks of being “imprisoned in reality” and how illusions seem like the only way to escape. Death is seen as a potential release from the “invisible chains” that bind the singer. However, the chorus talks about the singer’s desire to reach “the highest point in the airs” where they can learn the “wisdom of freedom.” It is clear that the singer longs to be free from their shackles, but also acknowledges that the journey to that freedom is not an easy one.


The imagery used in this song is powerful and emotive. The phrase “imprisoned in reality” is particularly poignant as it speaks to the way so many of us feel trapped by the constraints of our lives. The use of the words “superhuman strengths” and “virgin sky” create an almost mythical atmosphere, highlighting the impossibility of the singer’s situation. The idea of being crushed by a “vile atmosphere” or blackened by “insurmountable walls” conveys a sense of how suffocating life can feel when we are locked in by our own limitations. The song’s lyrics are universal in their appeal, speaking to anyone who has ever felt trapped or stuck.
