Prisoner
Escape the Invisible Chains: The Hamptons' Prisoner
Lyrics
Is this the end of everything I know
Contemplating if current circumstances mark the end of familiar things
A cabaret kinda night
Describing the night as reminiscent of a cabaret, possibly lively or theatrical
But I'm locked up at home
Expressing confinement at home
There's no bars of steel
Highlighting the absence of physical barriers like steel bars
And no guard's got the key
Emphasizing the lack of external control or authority
And when I try to speak
Describing difficulty in communication, feeling suffocated
It's like you're sucking out the air I breathe
Suggesting a stifling effect on personal expression
Will I ever be who I wanna be
Raising a question about achieving personal aspirations
Will you ever see the me I really am
Questioning if one's true self is perceived by others
I can run and hide, I can bide the time
Considering options like running away or waiting
But then I'll die in the cell I made
Acknowledging the potential consequences of self-imposed limitations
All I wanted was just to be someone
Expressing a desire to make a meaningful impact
Who made the most of the world like a visitor
Describing a previous aspiration of exploring the world
But now I'm just a prisoner
Realizing the current state of being confined and limited
Kill me now, kill me now
Expressing a desire for release or relief
Tattooed on a pillowcase
Metaphorically referencing a permanent mark or regret
Please don't give up, no
Pleading for support and encouragement
Please don't runaway
Urging not to abandon or avoid the situation
I'm crawling back to life
Describing a slow return to vitality or normalcy
A pandemic of my own decline
Comparing personal struggles to a pandemic
Oh God, save me now
Seeking salvation or assistance
I need just a little time
Expressing a need for time to overcome challenges
Will I ever be who I wanna be
Reiterating the question of self-realization
Will you ever see the me I really am
Pondering if others truly understand one's identity
I can run and hide, I can bide the time
Considering options of avoidance and waiting
But then I'll die in the cell I made
Anticipating negative consequences of self-imposed limitations
All I wanted was just to be someone
Expressing a desire for a significant identity
Who made the most of the world like a visitor
Reflecting on a past intention to explore the world
But now I'm just a prisoner
Realizing the current state of being confined and limited
So come one, come all
Inviting others to witness personal struggles
Come and scream at the wall
Encouraging expression of frustration or pain
I gotta talk to myself
Describing a need for self-reflection and inner dialogue
Just to pick up the call
Highlighting the difficulty in connecting with others
I gotta walk to a stage
Expressing a contrast between public appearance and personal feelings
When I just wanna crawl
Expressing a desire to withdraw from public life
Oh, come on
Encouraging or challenging others
And I'm not going home
Asserting a decision to resist going back to the previous state
I'm not going home
Reiterating a determination to avoid returning to confinement
I'm not going home
Emphasizing a strong refusal to go back
Again, again, again
Repeating the resolution against regression
Will I ever be who I wanna be
Pose the question again about achieving personal aspirations
Will you ever see the me I really am
Repeating the question of whether one's true self is perceived by others
I can run and hide, I can bide the time
Reiterating options of avoidance and waiting
Die
A stark expression of facing inevitable consequences
All I wanted was just to be someone
Reiterating the desire to make a meaningful impact on the world
Who made the most of the world like a visitor
Reflecting on a past intention to explore the world
But now I'm just a prisoner
Realizing the current state of being confined and limited
