A haunting exploration of mental health and the struggles within psychiatry, 'Behind Closed Doors' delves into themes of power abuse, legitimized violence, and the trauma that follows being misunderstood. The song captures the feelings of fear and insignificance that can emerge from such experiences, echoing the voices of those trapped in a system that often feels oppressive.
Verse 1:
In the silence of the room, shadows creep,
Behind closed doors, where secrets sleep.
Voices whisper, but none are heard,
In this prison, the lines are blurred.
Chorus:
You took my will and made it small,
In this closed society, we’re bound to fall.
Legitimized violence, you call it care,
But in the darkness, do you even dare?
Verse 2:
Eyes of judgment, a stare so cold,
Power misused, a hand to hold.
I’m standing at the edge, looking in,
Afraid of the life that’s held within.
Chorus:
You took my will and made it small,
In this closed society, we’re bound to fall.
Legitimized violence, you call it care,
But in the darkness, do you even dare?
Bridge:
Trauma’s echo, a haunting sound,
In this maze where healing’s never found.
Misunderstood, they shake their heads,
While I lay here lost in my own threads.
Chorus:
You took my will and made it small,
In this closed society, we’re bound to fall.
Legitimized violence, you call it care,
But in the darkness, do you even dare?
Outro:
So here I stand, with fear and rage,
A captive soul, locked in a cage.
In this society where silence reigns,
I’m just a ghost, carrying these chains.
