Chains. The object can be both literally or figuratively. For example you could have chains on your wrists connected to something, that would be literally, or maybe instead it could be figuratively like a certain thought or memory holding you back from doing certain things like trying to make friends. Chains prevent us from doing what we love and keeping us from the ones we love. The thoughts or memories of certain events like a bad relationship or friendship form these figurative chains preventing you from making friends because you’re afraid that the person will be just like THEM. But once you except these literal or figurative chains, only then you will be free.
