Something missing
Left behind
Search in circles
Every time I try
I've been here before
I've seen you before

I can't escape walking down these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead better move along

Like Clockwork
I commit the crime
I pretend to be
Everything they like
I've been here before
I've seen you before

And I trade everything for this
And I trade everything for this
Why do I read the writing on the wall
Why do I read the writing on the wall

I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent to much time
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent too much time

    General Comment:i doubt this is the meaning but when i first heard this song i instantly thought of me and this girl i like...i kept going back and every single time it was a dead end, i couldnt stop thinking about her and it took me almost 2 years to finally move on.

    General Comment:i agree with southernrocklove and kinlin117. the song is about someone realizing how everyone puts on a show, and how he's doing it himself. and he's trying to change because he realizes life's too short to worry about what everyone else is doing. this song is so full of life. it makes me take a deep breath and really take everything in.

    General Comment:it's called 'these walls' because of the writing on the walls. it is somewhat confusing

    General Comment:The song is about doing everythign you want to do but you can't or won't do because of your fears. Its about stepping out of your comfort zone.
