This piece can be seen as an exploration of emotional entanglement and dependency in a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist feels trapped yet comfortable in this love, akin to the psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome - where hostages develop an affectionate bond with their captors. Lines such as "Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way" reflect a paradoxical situation where captivity feels like freedom, and love becomes a form of beautiful imprisonment. The protagonist's struggle between wanting to break free and longing for this entrapping affection forms the crux of the song's thematic essence. #EmotionalDependency #ParadoxOfLove
Stockholm Syndrome
Lyrics
Who's that shadow holding me hostage? I've been here for days
Who's this whisper telling me that I'm never gonna get away?
I know they'll be coming to find me soon
But I fear I'm getting used to
Being held by you
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done now
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, you got me tied down
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
Who's this man that's holding your hand and talking 'bout your eyes? (Oh oh-oh)
Used to sing about bein' free but now he's changed his mind (oh oh-oh)
I know they'll be coming to find me soon
But my Stockholm syndrome is in your room
Yeah, I fell for you
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done now
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, you got me tied down
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
All my life, I've been on my own (oh oh-oh)
I use a light to guide me home (oh oh-oh)
But now together we're alone (oh oh-oh)
And there's no other place I'd ever wanna go
(Look what you've done to me)
Baby, look what you've done
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done now
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
(Oh) Baby, you got me tied down
(Oh) Baby, I'll never leave if you keep holding me this way (oh oh-oh)
(Look what you've done to me, baby)
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done (look what you've done to me, baby)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh) Baby, look what you've done to me
Baby, look what you've done to me
