Prisoners
Breaking Free: Reflections on Love, Loss, and Redemption in Dead Rituals' 'Prisoners'
Lyrics
I saw you stare out the window
I observed you gazing out the window.
Did you think of the pain we felt
Did you reflect on the pain we experienced?
When we were broken
Recalling the time when we were shattered.
And we needed fixing?
During the moments when we needed repair.
How could you forget so easily?
How did you manage to forget so effortlessly?
How could you screw it up so royally?
How did you make such a monumental mistake?
Royally
Emphasizing the magnitude of the error.
If I could do it over again
If given the chance to redo, would I still be confined by you?
Would I still be your prisoner?
Pondering whether the past would repeat its hold.
If I could do it over again
If granted the opportunity to rewind, would I remain under your control?
Would I still be your prisoner?
Questioning the persistence of captivity in a hypothetical scenario.
I saw you down in the dirt now
I witnessed you in a state of despair.
Were you digging your own grave?
Were you actively causing harm to yourself?
I knew you were broken
Acknowledging your brokenness, yet incapable of providing a remedy.
But I couldn't fix you
Expressing the inability to mend your shattered state.
How could you forget so easily?
How did you let go of the memories so effortlessly?
How could you screw it up so royally?
How did you make such a colossal error?
Royally fucked up
Reiterating the severity of the mistake.
If I could do it over again
If given another chance, would I still be confined by your influence?
Would I still be your prisoner?
Contemplating the enduring nature of captivity in a revised history.
If I could do it over again
If granted a redo, would I persist in being your prisoner?
Would I still be your prisoner?
Questioning the potential recurrence of captivity in a hypothetical iteration.
