Trapped
Full Blown Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1:
Trapped inside these four white walls
Waiting for someone to call
Something's gonna have to give
and I don't know when
Seems it's taken far too long
I've been stuck on this same song
I've been standing on the edge
and I'm gonna fall.

Pre-Chorus:
Promise me
You won't follow me
Cause I've gone down the wrong road
and I've lost my own way back.

Chorus:
It's all my fault...I can't hide it
I've tried to run...I can't fight it
Everybody dreams...why can't I just make the team
Falling all the time before I cross the finish line.

Verse 2:
I've been blinded by the dark
Hoping for a little spark
Diving in a pool of sharks...though I
cannot swim
Trying to understand myself
All my music's on a shelf
Gathering dust as I try to search within.

Pre-Chorus:
Promise me
You won't follow me
Cause I've gone down the wrong road
and I've lost my own way back.

Chorus:
It's all my fault...I can't hide it
I've tried to run...I can't fight it




Everybody dreams...why can't I just make the team
Falling all the time before I cross the finish line.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Full Blown Rose's song Trapped in 2-3 is about someone feeling stuck and trapped in their own personal struggles. The singer is overcome with frustration and helplessness, feeling as though they are unable to break free from their current situation. In the first verse, the singer is stuck inside the four white walls of their own mind, waiting for something to change, but not knowing when it will happen. They feel as though they are standing on the edge, about to fall, and something needs to give, but they don't know what or when.


The pre-chorus is a plea for someone to promise not to follow them down the wrong road they have taken in life. They have lost their way back and don't want to bring anyone else down with them. In the chorus, the singer takes responsibility for their situation. They can't hide their faults and have tried to run from them, but can't fight them. They feel left out of the dreams that everyone else has and can't seem to make the team. They repeatedly fall before they can cross the finish line.


In the second verse, the singer continues to express their feelings of being blinded by the darkness and looking for a little spark to light their way. They feel as though they are swimming in a pool of sharks and can't even understand themselves. All the while, their music, which is usually where they find solace, is gathering dust as they struggle to find answers within themselves.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the struggle to break free from the mental and emotional chains that can sometimes trap us. It encourages us to confront and take responsibility for our own faults, while also reminding us of the importance of seeking help when we need it.
