he is bound in this concrete jungle, where the living is harder, in captivity. All he wants to do is live an honest life out of a corporate-driven society but the "sweet life must be somewhere to be found" He has no chains around his feet, referring to slavery directly, but he is not free. All he can find is this "concrete jungle," an overpopulated, over-organized society of people who carry their own cage with them through life unknowingly. He is searching for the only true essence, void of darkness, love which too has gone missing. Marley at some point begins to see the hidden darkness in the fallacies of the social world, which had previously given him a false sense of comfort, or light. Therefore it can relate to any number of things as interpreted by the individual. General CommentThis song, like most of Marley's music, is ambiguous and not specific on purpose.
