Prisoner of Love
Captive to Affection: The Tale of Bound Devotion
Lyrics
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Feeling isolated and alone during the night.
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
Unable to break free from emotional or metaphorical chains.
I need no shackles to remind me
Not needing external reminders, as the feeling of captivity is internal.
I'm just a prisoner of love
Expressing being confined by the emotion of love.
For one command I stand and wait now
Waiting obediently for a command from someone special.
From one who's master of my fate now
Being subject to the decisions of someone who controls destiny.
I can't escape for it's too late now
Realizing it's too late to escape the emotional confinement.
I'm just a prisoner of love
Acknowledging being captive to the emotion of love.
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Questioning the value of caring when the affection is shared with another.
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free
Despite the person of interest having someone else, the singer cannot pursue another relationship due to emotional captivity.
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Imagining the person of interest in dreams, both awake and asleep.
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
Expressing submission and vulnerability by creeping on knees.
My very life is in her keeping
Conveying dependence on the person of interest for the essence of life.
I'm just a prisoner of love
Reiterating the feeling of being a captive of love.
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Repeating the theme of shared affection causing emotional distress.
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free
Emphasizing the singer's inability to pursue another relationship despite the circumstances.
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Reiterating the presence of the person of interest in dreams.
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
Expressing submission and vulnerability through the image of being on knees.
My very life is in her keeping
Highlighting the significance of the person of interest in sustaining life.
I'm just a prisoner of love
Reaffirming the overall sentiment of being a prisoner of love.
