Straightjacket Lyrics

She's a psycho from a Midwest suburb
No straightjacket could hold her
Wild eyes, they would lure me in her trap
I go mad just to hold her

Until I noticed that something was strange
Out of my range, there was no way back
Something went off in my brain
She was insane, here she goes again
A psycho from a Midwest suburb
I woke up and I told her

You won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone
And the look on your face will slowly come undone
'Cause it was all a front
And quietly, I say it to your face
That you will need to find another place to stay
And no you won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone, ay

She's a loose cannon with a temper, so absurd
Hiding from the police, yeah
Took pills with the name I'd never heard
But they were for sleep, she fooled me

That's when I noticed that something was strange
Out of my range, there was no way back
Something went off in my brain
She was insane, here she goes again
A psycho from a Midwest suburb
I woke up and I told her

You won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone
And the look on your face will slowly come undone
'Cause it was all a front
And quietly, I say it to your face
That you will need to find another place to stay
And now you won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone, ay

And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone

I noticed that something was strange
Out of my range, there was no way back
Something went off in my brain, she was insane
Here she goes again
A psycho from a Midwest suburb
I woke up and I told her

You won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone
And the look on your face will slowly come undone
'Cause it was all a front
And quietly, I say it to your face
That you will need to find another place to stay
And now you won't know me when the feeling's all gone
And I tell everyone, ay

And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone

What is the Meaning of Straightjacket?

In this emotionally charged piece, the artist delves into a tumultuous relationship with a woman who is depicted as unstable and unpredictable. The 'straightjacket' metaphorically represents the emotional entrapment he feels, unable to escape her wild and captivating allure despite recognizing her damaging behavior. The repetition of "And I tell everyone" signifies his desperate attempts to distance himself from her by revealing her true nature to others. Ultimately, the song encapsulates the struggle of detaching oneself from a toxic relationship, emphasizing the necessity of self-preservation even when it means letting go of someone you're drawn to.
