TRAP
The Pop Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trap
Snap my skin
Trap
Scissors cut the seam
Cage
Limb from limb
Cage
Now the sand flows in
Snap my skin
Scissors cut the seam
Limb from limb, now the sand flows in

Life life life life
Life is a chair
Death death death death
Come out to play
Come out to play
Choice of freedom to say no
If God is evil, to the devil we go

Burn all of my books
Burn
Burn them page by page
Eat
Cut my flesh
Eat
With a paper edge
Burn all of my books page by page

Repeat

Trap
Life is just a flash
Trap
Constrict like a tomb
Cage
Only death realise
Cage
From chair of freedom
Trap
Life's just a flash




Constricts like a tomb
Death will release from chair of freedom

Overall Meaning

The Pop Group's song "Trap" is a haunting and intense portrayal of the feeling of being trapped and the desire for freedom. The repeated phrase "trap, snap my skin" suggests physical and emotional pain, as if the singer is trying to escape from a suffocating situation. The use of the verb "snap" implies a sudden, violent action, and the image of skin being broken adds to the sense of vulnerability and rawness.


The lines "scissors cut the seam" and "limb from limb" suggest a sense of dismemberment or fragmentation, perhaps as a result of being confined or trapped. The imagery of a cage and sand flowing in suggest the idea of being trapped and helpless, with no way out. The repeated phrase "life is a chair, death come out to play" suggests that freedom and escape are not easy or painless, but may involve taking risks or even facing death.


The lyric "choice of freedom to say no" speaks to the power of choice and the idea that true freedom requires the ability to resist or reject. The line "if God is evil, to the devil we go" suggests a questioning of traditional religious beliefs and the idea that one must choose between different forms of oppression or control.


Overall, "Trap" is a powerful and challenging song that speaks to the human desire for freedom and the struggle against confinement and oppression.
