Trapped
Peter Gelderblom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should I listen what you say
Or listen what your folks say?
It's a tough decision to make
I don't really wanna lose you
But I don't want your folks to
Turn me over to the hands of the law
I guess they think that I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
As the tears roll from my eyes I feel the hurt inside
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
If you love one another
Why should you let this go further?
Can't you see it's gonna pull us apart
If you think I can't afford to
Support you if you want to
Ever think about ever settlin' down
I guess they think that I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
As the tears roll from my eyes I feel the hurt inside
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused
Oh, oh I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
(Can't you see I'm so trapped
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see I'm so trapped
So in love with you)
See I'm trapped
And I'm so confused
I'm like a man in a cage
And I'm so in love with you
As the tears roll from my eyes I feel the hurt inside
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh




Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Peter Gelderblom Vs. Muzikjunki's song "Trapped" describe the struggles of being in a relationship where the family of one's partner does not fully accept them. The singer of the song is torn between choosing to listen to their partner or to their partner's family. They do not want to lose their partner, but they also do not want to be turned over to the hands of the law, which implies that the family does not see them fit for their partner. The singer is torn apart by the attitudes and behavior of the family, as they try to figure out what they should do. The chorus describes how the singer feels trapped, like a fool in a cage, unable to get out of the situation and unable to make a decision.


The lyrics also touch upon the economic aspect of their relationship, where the family thinks that the singer cannot support their partner, which can be an indicator of class differences. The song suggests that how someone's family perceives their partner can have a significant impact on their relationship, which can be really distressing, especially when two people are in love.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of confusion and suffering caused by the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing because of their partner's family's disapproval. It highlights how love can be challenging and turbulent, and it is especially challenging when external factors like family opinions and class differences come into play.
