These Walls
Geiger Teddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The waters rising up to my knees
And I can't figure out
How the hell I wound up here
Everything seemed ok
When I started out the other day
And the rain came pouring down
And now I'm drowning in my fears
I wonder if I'm the only one
Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes
And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
Sometimes I fall but I've seen it done before
Gotta step outside these walls
I've got no master plan to
Help me out or make me stand up
For all of the things that I really want
You had me too afraid to ask
And as I look ahead of me
I try to pray for sanity
Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes
And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
Sometimes I fall but I've seen it done before
Gotta step outside these walls
These walls can be my haven
These walls can keep me safe here
Now I guess I've got to let them down
Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes
And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
Sometimes I fall but I've seen it done before
Gotta step outside these walls
I gotta break out
I gotta break out
I've to step out side these walls
Outside these walls
Well it's a brand new day
And I'll be going down
Cause I'll be steppin' out
I'll be steppin' outside these walls
Yeah I've seen it done before
I'm walking on
Yeah I'm moving on
Yeah
Give me something
Steppin' outside these walls
The song "These Walls" by Teddy Geiger explores the theme of facing fears and breaking out of one's comfort zone. The opening lines describe the singer's shock at finding themselves in a difficult situation, represented by rising waters up to their knees. They feel lost and confused as to how they ended up there. The rain is a metaphor for the obstacles and challenges that life can throw our way, leaving us feeling helpless and overwhelmed. As they watch the setting sun, they wonder if they are the only ones struggling.
The chorus conveys a message of resilience and the need to take risks. Everyone experiences heartbreak and fear, but they have to try to fly and pursue their dreams, even if they fall along the way. The singer acknowledges that they have no master plan and have been too afraid to ask for what they want, but they still strive for sanity and clarity. The walls that they have built around themselves may have provided a sense of safety, but they also prevent them from reaching their full potential. In the end, they resolve to break out of their comfort zone and step outside these walls.
The song uses vivid imagery to convey the emotion of the singer and the universality of their struggles. The lyrics encourage listeners to be brave, follow their hearts, and take risks in pursuit of their dreams.
