"The writing on the wall" is an idiomatic expression that suggests a portent of doom or misfortune, based on the story of Belshazzar's feast in the book of Daniel.
***
The phrase the walls are closing in is a figurative expression that means someone is feeling trapped, panicked, running out of time, or doomed1. It can also indicate a sense of claustrophobia or being cooped up indoors for too long. The phrase may have originated from the idea of being in a shrinking room or a collapsing building.
