Confined
Jonathan Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause I walk alone
out this dark room
I got to let go
cause I can't hold on
I can't do this any, anymore
And you don't even know if you grow old
You gotta be blown to face last blast
Live your days like they're the last
I, I know it ain't true
These feelings inside
You make me wanna come true
And I, I know that I'm close
And why is this so
So hard to expose
The freezing of your heart gets so cold
And you don't even know if you grow old
You gotta be blown to face last blast
Live your days like they're the last
The freezing of your heart gets so cold
And you don't even know if you grow old
You gotta be blown to face last blast
Live your days like they're the last
The freezing of your heart gets so cold
And you don't even know if you grow old
You gotta be blown to face last blast
Live your days like they're the last
I, I know it ain't you
'cause I walk alone
out this dark room
I got to let go
cause I can't hold on
I can't do this any, anymore
The lyrics of Jonathan Roy's song Confined speak about a relationship that has grown stale and emotionally distant. The singer expresses their longing for the person they fell in love with, but understands that they have changed, and ultimately, the relationship is no longer working. The opening verse of the song paints a picture of the singer feeling isolated and distanced from their partner. The lyrics, "I know it ain't you 'cause I walk alone out this dark room," reflect that sense of loneliness and disconnection, while "I got to let go 'cause I can't hold on, I can't do this anymore," showcases the singer's decision to move on from the relationship.
The second verse describes the singer's feelings about their partner, with lyrics like "The freezing of your heart gets so cold, and you don't even know if you grow old." The singer is communicating that their partner has become emotionally distant, and they are afraid they will never truly be able to connect again. The chorus of the song is a reminder to live in the moment and appreciate the time we have, as reflected in the lyrics, "Live your days like they're the last."
Jonathan Roy's Confined is a heartfelt song that speaks to the universal experience of love and loss, and the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that was once meaningful.
