   1. There’s an implicit comparison between the child and a bird in a cage: the mother won’t open the cage, that is, won’t set the child free, but will allow the child to express itself within the boundaries of the cage.

   2. ‘The wall’ stands for the barriers and blockages that separate the child from the world and from other people, which prevent the child from reaching out, getting in touch and making a connection with others. The ‘bricks’ in the wall = fears, suspicion, mistrust, abandonment, being unloved by its parents, and so on.

   3. The wall.

   4. I have chosen the following lines:

   Mama's gonna make all of your

   Nightmares come true

   Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

   
   

   I find them particularly disturbing, and even sinister. The mother described here is the 

   opposite what mothers should be like, that is, a mother is supposed to be comforting, 

   loving and reassuring.

   However, there is a lot of truth in these lines, for some mothers end up by passing on their 

   fears to their children, destroying their self-confidence, their self-love and their trust in Life. 

   This makes them sound even more upsetting.

When things go wrong

Here's the lyrics. Corrections are highlighted in bold.

Cryin'

Aerosmith

There was a time

When I was so brokenhearted                                     

Love wasn’t much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah

'Cause me and them ways have parted

That kind of love was the killin’ kind

Listen, all I want is someone I can ‘t resist

I know all I need to know

by the way that I was kissed

I was cryin’ when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin’ just to get you

Now I'm dyin’ 'cause I let you

Do what you do - down on me

Now there's not even breathin' room

Between pleasure and pain

Yeah you cry when we're makin' love

Must be one and the same

It's down on me

Yeah I got to tell you one thing

It's been on my mind

Girl, I gotta say

We're partners in crime

You got that certain something

What you do to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street

Is the devil's in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames

That's a fire I can't put out

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do to me

'Cause what you got inside

Ain't where your love should stay

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love

'Til you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you

Now I'm tryin' to forget you

Your love is sweet misery

I was cryin' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' just to let you

Do what you do what you do down on me,

baby, baby, baby
