Caught Up
Sights & Sounds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've endured only to find
Nothing more to this shifted charm
The ride's forlorn
And I'm on the lines
But the haunting score
Is that I made up my mind

Too caught up to find the wits to bail
Draining all the blood out of you
Back and forth until the ship has sailed
Stripping all the power from you
Faded out, disappointed
But it's already assumed
Too caught up to find the wits to bail
Draining all the life out of you

So torn and I'm on the line
The haunting the score
Is that I made up my mind
made up my mind
made up my mind
made up my mind

Too caught up to find the wits to bail
Draining all the blood out of you
Back and forth until the ship has sailed
Stripping all the power from you
Faded out, disappointed
But it's already assumed




Too caught up to find the wits to bail
Draining all the life out of you

Overall Meaning

In "Caught Up," Sights & Sounds crafts a haunting ballad about the pitfalls of indecisiveness and the irreversible consequences that come with it. The song, characterized by its heavy guitar riffs and contemplative lyrics, is an introspective look at the frustrating and regretful feelings that accompany a failure to take action.


The opening lines, "I've endured only to find/ Nothing more to this shifted charm," suggest a sense of disillusionment and weariness with the world. The singer feels trapped and stuck in a dull routine, unable to break free from the monotony. The next line, "The ride's forlorn/ And I'm on the lines," expands on this idea of being stuck in a rut, emphasizing the feeling of being trapped and unable to move forward.


The haunting score the singer refers to throughout the song is the personal inner dialogue that comes with making any important choice. Despite feeling frustrated and lost, the singer makes the decision to stick with their current path. They are too "caught up" in their own indecision to make a change, and the consequences are dire. The lines "Draining all the blood out of you/ Back and forth until the ship has sailed/ Stripping all the power from you" paint the picture of someone being drained of all their energy and willpower, unable to regain control once they lose it.


The final lines, "Faded out, disappointed/ But it's already assumed/ Too caught up to find the wits to bail/ Draining all the life out of you" encapsulate the feeling of regret and disappointment that comes with making the wrong choice. The singer is left feeling hollow and empty, consumed by their own indecisiveness and inability to act. The song serves as a warning to listeners about the dangers of inaction and the importance of being true to oneself.

Atrapado - Sights & Sounds
(Español)

He soportado solo para encontrar
nada más a este encanto cambiado
el paseo es triste abandonado
estoy sobre las lineas
pero la puntuación inquietante
es que ya me decidí

Demasiado atrapado para encontrar el ingenio para rescatar
Drenando toda la sangre de ti
De ida y vuelta hasta que el barco haya navegado
Despojando todo el poder de ti
Desvanecido, decepcionado
Pero ya esta todo concluido
Demasiado atrapado para encontrar el ingenio para rescatar
Drenando toda la vida de ti

Tan desgarrado y estoy en la linea
pero la puntuación inquietante
es que ya me decidí 💔
