Good proposal, now I have:

  • "Don't paint me on a wall": that was my very first idea for the chorus, similar to "Don't paint me in a corner". But I didn't find any reference for it, so I guess this phrase doesn't exist.
  • "Don't raise me on a wall": sounds cool but is clunky
  • "Don't raise me up at all": certainly a good option
  • "Don't raise me up so tall" by marty: another good option

I think I'll try both yours and marty's and decide what sounds better.

I was not 100% happy with this one as well. At least this would be an easy change because there's no context which would need changes.

Thanks again for your suggestions, I highly appreciate this!
