All Four Walls (Feat. Gorgon City)

Vaults' song 'All Four Walls,' featuring Gorgon City, delves into the emotional experience of feeling trapped and the subsequent liberation that follows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of confinement, both physical and emotional, as the protagonist feels the walls closing in on their life, love, and everything they hold dear. The imagery of time passing, with minutes turning into hours and days blending together under harsh fluorescent lights, emphasizes the monotony and suffocation of their situation.

The recurring motif of 'four walls' symbolizes the barriers and limitations that the protagonist faces. These walls represent not just physical boundaries but also emotional and psychological constraints. The transformation of a 'heartbeat full of colour' into 'black and white' signifies the loss of vibrancy and joy in their life, replaced by a dull and lifeless existence. The ghosts mentioned in the lyrics could be interpreted as past regrets or haunting memories that contribute to the feeling of being trapped.

However, the song takes a hopeful turn with the repeated declaration that 'all four walls are falling down.' This signifies a breakthrough, a moment of liberation where the protagonist breaks free from their confinement. The falling walls represent the collapse of the barriers that have held them back, allowing them to reclaim their life, love, and everything they cherish. The collaboration with Gorgon City adds a dynamic and uplifting musical backdrop to this journey of breaking free, enhancing the emotional impact of the lyrics.
