The Captive Mind Lyrics
Shame to shame when you fell apart
But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait" Pain the pain when you played the part And you took it all up and you turned your back away "Try to forget, and well okay." Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again Well same the same that you've always been When you took it all up what it took to do you in And fall under and run away Blame the blame on a broken heart When you pack it all up and you make a start again But call me up on my birthday Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again Gone in a boat You're drifting so The walls you built The push and pull Come back again Come back again Well you love the love but you couldn't stay So you gave it all up for the Mandelay bay The plastic beach and passing plays Shame the shame when you fell apart But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait" Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, please come back again

And you tried to leave the past behind
But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely
To come back again, come back again
this makes me think of how i sometimes have cyclical negative thoughts, and the fact that i repeat them to myself is what makes my mind captive- captive to nothing, but itself and the habits of thought i perpetuate. in other words, you get caught in the web of your thoughts only when you return to them, and dwell on them continually.
