Captured
Robert Baitinger-Inspired Rock Song | Captured by Rob B (GER) | Stream Free
I'm a songwriter who loves to collaborate with other songwriters, vocalists, musicians and producers.
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978.
My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.

Story behind the song
"Captured" tells the story of a person who has become trapped inside his own version of reality. Every contradiction becomes another justification. Every challenge becomes a conspiracy. Every criticism becomes an attack.
The song asks a simple question: What happens when the prison bars are made from the lies we tell ourselves?
Lyrics
Captured
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
I’m smart but you won’t see my grades
I’m clean but I don’t change my ways
I’m right when I say that I’m right
And it turns to truth when I say it twice
[Verse]
I’m innocent but I won’t testify
I stay quiet but I never say why
Release all the files unless I’m inside
If I’m in the story then the truth gets denied
[Pre-chorus]
Don’t ask me to change what I believe
I build my truth on what I see
[Chorus]
I’m captured, captured, caught in my mind
Captured, captured, running out of time
It’s a witch hunt when it’s not my way
It’s fake news when they don’t obey
I know it all - I don’t lose
I make the truth fit my views
Captured, captured, what I’ve become
Captured, captured, nowhere to run
[Break]
[Verse]
I’m successful but my business fails
I win every time when I tell my tales
If it helps me win, it must be right
If it hurts my name, then it’s out of sight
[Pre-chorus]
Don’t show me a mirror I don’t agree with
I rewrite the world till it fits my script
[Chorus]
I’m captured, captured, caught in my mind
Captured, captured, running out of time
It’s a witch hunt when it’s not my way
It’s fake news when they don’t obey
I know it all, I don’t lose
I make the truth fit my views
Captured, captured, what I’ve become
Captured, captured, nowhere to run
[Bridge]
If you come for me, I’ll come for you
In ways you can’t imagine I’d do
I built this world and I built it to win
And I can’t see the cage I’m in
[Interlude]
[Final chorus]
I’m captured, captured, caught in my mind
Captured, captured, running out of time
It’s a witch hunt when it’s not my way
It’s fake news when they don’t obey
I know it all, I don’t lose
I make the truth fit my views
Captured, captured, what I’ve become
Captured, captured, nowhere to run
[Outro]
I’m captured, captured, nowhere to run
