A MIX OF GENRES
The arrangement is quite diverse with classical piano, heavy synths and pieces of metal all in one song. In a totally non-confusing way, of course (laughs)
BOUND AND STRAPPED
I can assure you that the line "bound and strapped" is to be interpreted figuratively and not as some might suggest. Sorry to disappoint (laughs)
TRAPPED STRUCTURE
The song was conceived as a piano piece, but given the trapped theme, I tried to build walls around it by starting and ending with the heavy synths
REFERENCES TO 80'S LEGENDS
There are a couple of references in the lyrics to some childhood favorites such as "The Real Me" by WASP and "Burn in Hell" by Twisted Sister
STANDS OUT ON THE ALBUM
I allowed myself one genre detour on the album, and Trapped is the one
PARADISE LOST DRUMS
I'd like to think that the special drums on the song were inspired by "Embers Fire" by one of my favorite metal bands Paradise Lost
- Quotes by Remi Thomsen
VERSE 1
Now I'm trapped
Every time you want me
Every time I will be
Bound and strapped
Onto every part of
Onto every
CHORUS
I'll be there in time
In time
Everytime you need me
I’ll take you down in time
in time
You will not defeat me
You will go down
VERSE 2
It's time to rise
Even if you still hold
You still hold the key (I will)
Ensure your demise
In the flames you'll burn in
In the flames you'll
burn in hell
CHORUS
in time
in time
I'll present you for the real me
I’ll take you down in time
in time
you will not defeat me
you will go down
OUTRO
You can't leave yourself
I can't find myself
