Song Meaning of “Prison Without Walls” by Napalm Death
“Prison Without Walls” by Napalm Death speaks of a person who has built up internal walls to protect themselves from the pain of the outside world – a prison without walls. The song describes them struggling with the world around them, and feeling isolated and alone in their internal prison of thoughts and emotions. They feel judged and ridiculed for feeling this way, and try to push away the feelings, believing they have no one to turn to. As they succumb to the sense of loneliness that comes with being trapped in a prison without walls of their own making, they ponder the possibility of being set free, without any walls, and free of their restraints.
The message of “Prison Without Walls” is that we all have our own prisons within our minds and hearts, and it can be difficult to break free of them and reach out for help. However, if we can break through the fear and trust someone with our secrets and shared our true feelings, we can break free and find the freedom and peace we deserve.
