Analysis of lyrics

Tally chart on the prison cell wall Shows that the person is trapped and desperate
How long have you been there now?
Seems like a year you said, though it’s only been two days. Dramatic lyric, could have been through something very traumatic

There’s no getting out’a here reinforcing the idea of being trapped
No-one will hear your cries ‘Cries’ shows that the person is obviously upset
No-one will see you die but me ‘Die’ seems very hopeless. We see there isn’t much hope for the person

Same boring lies, same walls everyday illustrates the boredom of the person
You can’t sleep, you just toss and turn shows the stress that the person is under
Serves you right anyway Get the feeling that maybe the person has done something to deserve this

The rest of the lyrics are just repeated, this emphasizes the idea that the person is trapped and can’t escape. It gives a real feeling of hopelessness.

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me

SOLO

Build up
(No-one will see you die but me)

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me

Seems like a year you said, though it’s only been two days.

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me

Same boring lies, same walls everyday
You can’t sleep, you just toss and turn
Serves you right anyway

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me

There’s no getting out’a here
No-one will hear your cries
No-one will see you die but me
