Fall in Love
In the Box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up this mornin'
Closed in on both sides
Nothin' doin'
I feel resistance

As I open my eyes
Someone's foolin'
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
'Cause I know what's goin' on
In your mind

I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box

Life goes in circles
Around and around
Circulating
I sometimes wonder

What's movin' underground
I'm escaping
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
'Cause I know what's goin' on
In my mind

I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box

Livin'
Ahh ha
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
'Cause I know what's goin' on
In your mind

I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box

I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box

I'm a livin' I'm a livin'....I'm a livin'
I'm a livin', I'm a livin'....I'm a livin'




I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a box...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to In the Box's song "Living in a Box" describe the feeling of being trapped and confined, both physically and mentally. The singer wakes up feeling closed in on all sides and faces resistance, as if trapped in a cellophane bag. The repeated refrain of "I'm a livin' in a box" underscores the feeling of being trapped, as if living in a cardboard box.


The second verse describes life as a circle, constantly circulating and moving underground. The singer has found a way to escape from this cycle by breaking through the cellophane bag and understanding what's going on in their own mind. However, it's unclear if the singer is actually able to escape from their confinement or if they are just aware of it.


The lyrics suggest themes of confinement and the struggle to break free from the limitations imposed by society, the self or others. The use of a repetitive chorus reinforces this feeling of being trapped, and the use of imagery such as the cellophane bag emphasizes the sense of being suffocated or restrained.
