Prisoner Of Love
Yearning Captivity: Embracing Chains of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Expressing loneliness and solitude during the night.
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
Feeling powerless to break free from emotional or metaphorical chains.
I need no shackles to remind me
Not needing external reminders, as the internal struggle is evident.
I'm just a prisoner
Acknowledging being emotionally confined.
Don't let me be a prisoner
Pleading not to be left in emotional captivity.
For one command I stand and wait now
Willing to follow a command, indicating a submissive stance.
From one who's master of my fate now
Subject to the whims of someone who controls destiny.
I can't escape for it's too late now
Realizing the impossibility of escaping the emotional confinement.
I'm just a prisoner
Reiterating the sense of being a captive.
Don't let me be a prisoner
Repeating the plea not to be left as a prisoner.
What's the good of my caring
Questioning the value of caring if not reciprocated.
If someone is sharing those arms
Concerned about someone else sharing intimate moments.
But not with me?
Expressing the pain of exclusion and unrequited love.
Although she has another
Acknowledging the presence of another in the person's life.
I can't have another, for I'm
Feeling restricted and unable to pursue other romantic interests.
I'm not free
Emphasizing the lack of freedom in the current emotional situation.
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping, oh, no
Describing the constant presence of the person in dreams.
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
Symbolizing submission and devotion by kneeling.
My very life, my life, is in her keeping
Stating that life is in the hands of the person being loved.
I'm just a prisoner
Reiterating the theme of being emotionally imprisoned.
Don't let me be a prisoner (prisoner)
Requesting not to be left as a prisoner again.
You made me a prisoner (prisoner)
Acknowledging that the other person has played a role in creating this emotional confinement.
You made me love you (prisoner)
Stating that love was professed and accepted.
You said the night time was the right time (prisoner)
Recalling a suggestion that nighttime is the right time for love.
Be with the one you love (prisoner)
Encouraging being with the one you love in the night.
You made me a blind man (prisoner)
Acknowledging a loss of vision due to love.
But I can see, baby (prisoner)
Claiming insight despite being emotionally blinded.
You said you loved nobody (prisoner)
Recalling the declaration of exclusive love.
And that included me (prisoner)
Realizing that the exclusivity was not reciprocated.
Well, I now know, now know, now know (prisoner, prisoner, prisoner, prisoner, prisoner)
Expressing newfound understanding and awareness.

Aw, aw, aw (prisoner, prisoner)
