I thought it would be fun to draw parallels between Rapunzel's situation and modern-day, real-life situations, using her tower as a metaphor for an emotional isolation. :)

Up in your tower, away from the world
foundationed by fears of being on your own
cemented by trenches between 'you' and 'they' -
Your sanctuary - or so you say...

Cos you put the bars against your window view
And you built the walls that isolate you
A foolish Rapunzel - afraid of yourself -
A stranger, a prisoner inside your head

Cos outside
Life seems so busy
And your mind
Makes you so dizzy
Oh what can you do
But embrace this confusion
And love this madness?

Life; a story you tell yourself in the night
A lullaby fiction, a bitter delight
Where voices, distant and muffled, combine
In a chaos beyond your control

It all depends on your perspective
You're only alone if you see it that way
Oh come now Rapunzel, so hard on yourself
You're just as deserving as anyone else

Outside
Life seems so busy
And your mind
Makes you so dizzy
Oh what can you do
But embrace this confusion
And love this madness?

Time doesn't wait
You've got to reach out
And make your mistakes
Let down your hair
Rapunzel, Rapunzel
There's a world out there
There's a world out there!

Outside
Life seems so busy
And your mind
Makes you so dizzy -
Oh what can you do
But embrace this confusion
And love this madness?

Love this madness.
