Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please set me free from the jailhouse
I told the judge I'm innocent
Please set me free from the jailhouse
Locked up and they lost the key
I'm mad as fuck 'cause by now I'd be on album three
I keep beggin' but no oh oh oh
I thought it was a dream was a fairytale
Thought it was a castle but it's just a jail
My shark bitten soul is trying to find a way home
And I'm fucked up still fighting
No truck stop, keep driving
Ya gotta drive through them I drive drive through them yeah
Drive drive through them yeah
I told the judge I'm innocent
Please set me free from the jailhouse
I told the judge I'm innocent
Please set me free from the jailhouse
Sick of sleeping on a shelf
I gave ya gold but I ain't giving ya nothing else
So keep on moving slow
I'll do it on my own
Like a preacher in silence
I'm a killer no violence
I just voodoo them I voodoo them yeah
Voodoo them I voodoo them yeah
I told the judge I'm innocent
Please set me free from the jailhouse
I told the judge I'm innocent
Please set me free from the jailhouse
Like a preacher in silence
I'm a killer no violence
Like a preacher in silence
I'm a killer no violence
Like a preacher in silence
I'm a killer no violence
The song "Jailhouse" by Neon Hitch is about the singer's frustration and feeling of being trapped in a situation that she believes she is innocent of. The lyrics aim to convey a sense of despair and helplessness, as the singer repeatedly begs to be set free from the "jailhouse", which is a metaphor for any kind of confinement that one might find themselves in. She is angry because she has lost valuable time that she could have spent pursuing her career as a musician, but instead finds herself locked up without any clear reason why. The singer insists that she is innocent, and there is no reason she should be locked up, but her pleas fall on deaf ears. She is left to voodoo her way out of the situation and take matters into her own hands.
The repeated phrase "I told the judge I'm innocent, please set me free from the jailhouse" suggests that the singer has been appealing to the law to help her but has not had any luck. The lines "My shark bitten soul is trying to find a way home" suggests that the singer is trying to find a way out of the "jailhouse", which is eating away at her soul. The line "like a preacher in silence, I'm a killer no violence" suggests that the singer is determined to fight her way out without resorting to violence. She is using her voice and music to create a path for herself out of the situation.
