Chains Lyrics
Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they're made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin' key
A little click and the lock's on me
Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
I won't admit to where I am
But I know baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls
I've crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains
Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I'd be
But baby, baby, baby, look at me
Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I never thought this is where I'd be
Never thought this could happen to me
Meaning of Chains
“Chains” is a haunting exploration of being trapped within a destructive love. Tina Arena embodies the agonizing feeling of being utterly consumed by someone, where affection itself becomes a suffocating prison. The lyrics depict a situation where physical closeness—a simple kiss—transforms into an inescapable bond, symbolized by “cold, cold steel” and “locks on me.” Despite attempts to maintain a facade of freedom, the narrator recognizes their desperate pleas are echoing uselessly within a metaphorical “dungeon,” revealing a descent from sanity. The realization that escape is impossible – “once inside I could not escape” – underscores the devastating power of love’s possessiveness and the speaker's profound regret, culminating in the chilling repetition: "I’m in chains, baby, look at me.”
