Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me feel I'm alive
I want to feel your faith
But you're never on my side
I want to feel you're faith explain
That I've never tried
I don't care for change
Other worlds won't explain
tied again
see these cars on the road
All these cars overturned
I want to see your faith
But you're never on my side
I want to see you're face explain
That I've never tried
I don't care for change
Other worlds other days
tied again
when I see them tied again
When I see them lie
I never wanted
I don't care
I never wanted change
I never wanted
I don't care
I never wanted
tied again
The song "Tied Up" by Four Star Mary starts with the lyrics "Put these chains over me, make me feel I'm alive." The singer desires to feel something and seeks to find it through faith. However, they feel frustrated because the person they seek faith from is never on their side. Despite this, the singer insists that they have never tried to understand this faith, they just want to feel it. The lines "I don't care for change, other worlds won't explain" suggests that the singer is not interested in exploring new ideas or perspectives, but rather wants to stick to what is familiar.
The second part of the song talks about the cars on the road overturned, and the singer wanting to see faith and the face of the person they seek it from. Again, they express their frustration that this person is never on their side. The lines "when I see them tied again, when I see them lie" suggest that the singer has seen others in a similar situation, being tied up, and also being lied to. The final lines of the song show the singer's apathetic and indifferent attitude towards change and their desire to be tied up again.
Overall, the lyrics of the song speak to the human desire to feel something, be it faith, love, or positive emotions. The singer seeks to be tied up to feel alive, but they also express a reluctance to change.
