Just read the Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis, and it presents the idea that hell can be escaped, and those in captivity are really the one’s holding the key to their own escape, should they choose to endure the transition. Trouble is, most are so wrapped in their pride and apathy that they refuse to release themselves and become free. Sort of tried to show a version of that in the two verses.
Relied on what I know
I’ve seen all the things I can hold
I know how far I’ll run
Out till I’m old
Slowly closed my eyes and drift into night
Hang myself in a cage under limitless skies
The truth beyond the world within my reach
But I’m already here
So how can you chase me
When all I’ve done is pushed you away?
