In this song, the main message in my opinion is basically how a person gets trapped in their own mind like a prisoner. I don't know about others, but this has certainly happened to me before. Sometimes when I think too deeply about something, or someone, I get stuck in this black hole of endless thoughts. It becomes impossible to escape it and I feel like a "prisoner". The same emotions is being presented in this song, but in a more romantically inclined way. The singers are saying that they are trying to escape the thoughts of their lover but they have no control over this.
Prisoner
Lyrics
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
Oh-whoa, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
Strung out on a feeling, my hands are tied
Your face on my ceiling, I fantasize
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
(I can't control it)
I try to replace it with city lights
I'll never escape it, I need the high
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
(Oh)
You keep makin' it harder to stay
But I still can't run away
I gotta know, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
Oh-whoa, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
Oh-whoa, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
I tasted heaven, now I can't live without it
I can't forget you and your love is the loudest
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
(Can't control it)
You keep making it harder to stay
But I still can't run away
I gotta know why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
Oh-whoa, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
Oh-whoa, why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
(Prisoner)
Can't get you off my mind
Why can't you just let me go?
(Million times)
Million times
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you?
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you?
I gotta know why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?
