Prisoner
Embracing Captivity: The Emotional Journey of 'Prisoner' by The Old Pink House
Lyrics
You found me at the east coast
You discovered me on the east coast.
Chasing after my ghost
Pursuing my presence like chasing a ghost.
But I was already gone
However, I had already departed.
I give an ounce of cheap warmth
I offered a small amount of warmth without much value.
And take too much of your love
But consumed an excessive portion of your love.
For more I’ll be what you want
Despite that, I am willing to become what you desire.
I failed you so many times I can’t count
I disappointed you numerous times beyond counting.
Turn your back, drown me out
Turn away from me, block me out.
I’ll be your prisoner if I don’t have to be alone
I am willing to be your prisoner to avoid solitude.
I’ll be a prisoner for you
Expressing a commitment to be a prisoner for the person.
Wire fence round the death bed
Describing a wire fence surrounding a death bed.
Comfort for a bad head
Seeking comfort for a troubled mind.
Is selfish love what you want?
Questioning if selfish love is what the person desires.
Conversation for your health
Engaging in conversation for the sake of the person's well-being.
A blood bag for an empty shell
Offering a metaphorical blood bag for an emotionally empty self.
Anything to cling on
Willing to grasp onto anything for support.
I’ll be your prisoner if I don’t have to be alone
Reiterating the willingness to be a prisoner to avoid loneliness.
I’ll be a prisoner for you
Expressing the commitment to be a prisoner for the person.
Let’s play prisoners, call our cell a happy home
Suggesting a playful approach to being prisoners together, considering it a happy home.
I’ll be a prisoner for you
Reiterating the commitment to be a prisoner for the person.
And when the night falls on us
Describing a moment when night falls, and the grip tightens while letting go.
You grip hardens while I let go
Highlighting a contrast in reactions during a challenging time.
I’ll be your prisoner if I don’t have to be alone
Expressing the willingness to be a prisoner to avoid being alone.
I’ll be a prisoner for you
Reaffirming the commitment to be a prisoner for the person.
