A straitjacket is a garment shaped like a jacket with overlong sleeves and is typically used to restrain a person who may otherwise cause harm to him/herself or others.
In an interview with Billboard, Quinn XCII says this song highlights the situation where you are “dating someone who acts one way...
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
You won't know me when the feelings are 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 feelings are all gone
And I tell everyone, ay
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
You won't know me when the feelings are 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 feelings are all gone
And I tell everyone, ay
[Post-Chorus]
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
You won't know me when the feelings are 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 feelings are all gone
And I tell everyone, ay
[Post-Chorus]
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone
And I tell everyone, ay
Straightjacket was written by Louis Schoorl & Quinn XCII.
Straightjacket was produced by Trey Campbell.
Quinn XCII released Straightjacket on Fri Dec 09 2016.
‘Straightjacket’ is about a typical person that I think everyone has dealt with in their life at one point that’s two-faced. I dealt with a girl my senior year of high school who I dated who was the exact same way.
