About Fences

This song is about celebrities and how they have to seem perfect and happy all the time, which is the only way you can make it in Hollywood. The lyrics, "It's obvious that you're dying, dying, just living proof that the camera's lying" could mean that while Hollywood is doing it's best to make celebrities seem perfect on TV and movies, people have learned to look past that and see that some celebrities are really miserable with the constant spotlight being put on them. .

Fences Lyrics

[00:09.51] I'm sitting in a room
[00:11.49] Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
[00:14.13] There are people looking through the window in the door
[00:16.72] They know exactly what we're here for
[00:19.17] Don't look up, just let them think
[00:21.22] There's no place else you'd rather be
[00:23.63] You're always on display
[00:25.24] For everyone to watch and learn from
[00:26.93] Don't you know by now?
[00:29.69] You can't turn back
[00:32.59] Because this road is all you'll ever have
[00:38.29] And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
[00:43.16] Just living proof that the camera's lying
[00:47.46] And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
[00:53.53] So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style
[01:00.64] You'll go out in style
[01:06.54] If you let me I could
[01:08.32] I'd show you how to build your fences
[01:10.17] Set restrictions, separate from the world
[01:12.88] The constant battle that you hate to fight
[01:14.71] Just blame the limelight
[01:16.14] Don't look up, just let them think
[01:18.41] There's no place else you'd rather be
[01:20.78] And now you can't turn back
[01:24.86] Because this road is all you'll ever have
[01:30.57] And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
[01:35.37] Just living proof that the camera's lying
[01:39.83] And oh, oh, open wide, 'cause this is your night
[01:45.70] So smile
[01:49.63] Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
[01:52.10] With every breath that you breathe in, just breathe it in
[01:59.22] Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess
[02:01.64] You do all this big talking
[02:04.04] So now let's see you walk it
[02:06.44] I said let's see you walk it
[02:10.28]
[02:32.62] Yeah, yeah, well you're just a mess
[02:34.87] You do all this big talking
[02:37.18] So now let's see you walk it
[02:39.66] I said let's see you walk it
[02:42.09] And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
[02:46.77] Just living proof that the camera's lying
[02:51.15] And oh, oh, open wide, yeah, oh, oh, open wide
[03:00.48] Yeah, oh, oh, open wide, 'cause you'll go out in style
[03:09.04] You'll go out in style
[03:12.82]
