Discover the story of the song > Lock Me Up For Life – Alec Benjamin

The protagonist of the song is walking in a mall and sees a fancy watch that he can't afford. He considers stealing it. He also has thoughts of stealing a car and going on a joyride. He wonders if he would be seen as a criminal for having these thoughts. He feels ashamed and doesn't even want to talk about these thoughts with his psychologist. He imagines his own funeral and wonders if people would think he's gone crazy if they knew what he was thinking. He expresses feelings of guilt and apologizes to his parents. He questions whether it's normal to have these thoughts and worries about being locked up for life if anyone found out.
