Trapped today trapped tomorrow
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The days are gone when the girls
Used to kiss his nose
To wake him up in the morning
He looks at his wife once she was young
But now she's older
Than himself and all that happend without warning

Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow
Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow
Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
And no explanations

The days are gone when the boys
Used to bring her flowers every night
Just to please her
There was this man, now she's his wif
They've got two kids
He works from 9 to 5
He put her in a freezer

Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow
Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
Trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow




Sorry my train, won't stop at your station
And no explanations

Overall Meaning

The song "Trapped Today, Trapped Tomorrow" by Fury In The Slaughterhouse is a poignant depiction of the monotony and stagnancy of an unfulfilling marriage. The lyrics describe a couple who once shared a passionate, youthful love but have since become trapped in a cycle of mundanity and disappointment. The singer reflects on the days when he used to be awakened by the affectionate kisses of his wife, who he now regards as old and unexciting. Similarly, the once-romantic gestures of bringing her flowers every night have dwindled, and the couple has become bound by the responsibilities of work and parenthood.


The chorus of the song conveys a sense of entrapment, capturing the feeling that the couple is stuck in a loveless routine with no escape. The repetition of the phrase "trapped in love, and trapped in sorrow" emphasizes the hopelessness of their situation. The singer acknowledges that there will be no explanation for their predicament and no way out. The final line, "Sorry my train, won't stop at your station," suggests that the singer has resigned himself to the fact that he will never be able to offer his wife the passion and excitement that she craves.


Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the way that time and circumstance can change the dynamics of a relationship. It suggests that love can become a trap, a burden that weighs us down with responsibilities and robs us of the passion that once made it worthwhile.

Sie haben einen so eigenen Sound, Mega. Die frühen Sachen sind Hammer. Sie haben Evergreens geschrieben. Das schaffen nicht viele !
