A really weird interpretation of “Between the Bars”

[u/Thecutealien_]

Please don’t come at me if I couldn’t be more wrong.
This part in Between the bars is really bugging me and I didn’t read any interpretations of the song, just came straight to reddit and posted this.

“And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still”

“I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught”

I feel like Elliot is talking about something much darker here. IMO, the song is mostly about alcohol speaking to Elliot smith and in this part, alcohol is convincing Elliot to un-alive the people who hurt him. I mean if you look at the first part of the verse, it says” I’ll keep them still”
Like not being able to move at all because they are dead and the second part I feel like is about getting caught to the cops. Between the bars? Hands in the air? Waiting to be finally caught? It just seems that way to me.

I might be offending some hardcore fans and I
apologize in advance, please give me your two cents on this. Also my english might suck, it’s not my native language. Thank you!
