Prison
Unlocking Shadows: Joseph Arthur's Poetic Journey of Inner Liberation
Lyrics
Help me find a reason
Seeking assistance to find a purpose or justification.
In my darkest time
During the most challenging period of life.
To open up my heart
Expressing a desire to open up emotionally.
And survive
To endure and continue living.
Help me gain my vision
Asking for help to regain clarity and understanding.
As I stand here blind
Feeling lost or confused in the present moment.
Looking out for a place to be
Searching for a place of belonging.
Helpless and free
Feeling vulnerable and liberated simultaneously.
Where no one will recognize me
Yearning for a space where one's identity remains anonymous.
A prison inside myself
Acknowledging a sense of confinement within oneself.
I look at you
Directing attention towards another person.
I think I need your help
Expressing a need for assistance or support.
(i look at you? to get through?)
(Uncertain line, potentially seeking guidance from the listener.)
Can you find the reason
Asking if there is a valid reason to let go of something.
To put it down
Considering the decision to release or abandon.
But you love the poison
Acknowledging a connection to a harmful substance or influence.
You found
Accepting and embracing the toxic element.
And all that you've been using
Recognizing the tools or methods used to cope.
To get you through
Utilizing something to navigate through challenges.
Soon you'll see
Anticipating a realization that the coping mechanism is detrimental.
That it was using you
Realizing that the coping mechanism controlled the individual.
A prison inside myself...
Reiterating the feeling of being imprisoned within oneself.
