Prisoners
Breaking Free from Self-Made Chains: Prisoners by Don't Sleep
Lyrics
Staring at the wall
Contemplating and feeling stuck, perhaps in a difficult situation.
Staring at the ceiling
Feeling confined and trapped, possibly overwhelmed.
I've got nothing at all
Expressing emptiness or a lack of possessions or purpose.
My spirit is reeling
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or disoriented.
I'm being bled dry
Experiencing emotional exhaustion or being drained.
From all the times I try
Frustration from repeated attempts with no positive outcome.
My efforts are in vain
Feeling that efforts are not yielding the desired results.
So why do I remain?
Pondering the reason for enduring a challenging situation.
I'm bumping up against the walls
Sensing restrictions or limitations created in one's own life.
I built around my life
Having established barriers or defenses around one's existence.
I'm dug in a hole to hide from all your strife
Hiding from difficulties, possibly caused by external conflicts.
I'm a shadow of myself
Feeling diminished or overshadowed, losing one's true self.
Cause you won't let me shine
Being suppressed or not allowed to express one's true essence.
Blinded by the darkness of your angry mind
Blinded by negativity and hostility from someone close.
Heartbreak times
Referring to difficult and emotionally painful experiences.
Prisoners of our own design
Acknowledging that individuals create their own challenges.
You demand and complain
Addressing demands and dissatisfaction in a relationship.
I try to assuage
Attempting to ease or alleviate the partner's concerns.
You're selfish and vain
Describing a partner as self-centered and egotistical.
Impossible to gauge
Expressing the difficulty of understanding or measuring the partner's emotions.
You live in the past
Living with a person who is stuck in past grievances.
Can't let it go
Struggling to move on from past issues or conflicts.
Cold and accusing to keep it so
Experiencing coldness and blame to maintain a negative atmosphere.
How did it come to this?
Reflecting on how the current situation unfolded, possibly in a relationship.
It started with a kiss
Pointing out a significant event, a kiss, as the starting point of the issues.
How did it go so wrong?
Expressing bewilderment at the unexpected negative turn of events.
You said you love that song
Recalling a positive memory (loving a song) amidst the challenges.
