Prisoner Lyrics

Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talking, keep walking
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Control you, involve you
You can't deny
You move me, surround me
You mystify
Can't stand it, won't make it
Just pass me by
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Too late now, you wait now
You're out of time
New face now, your place now
Is that a crime
Stop talking, keep walking
You missed the sign
You made your choice
It's too late now
You threw it all away
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
You're just a prisoner
You're just a prisoner of lies
Prisoner

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The track is an exploration of the notion of being held captive by one's lies and the repercussions of deceit, serving as a cautionary tale about the importance of honesty and the need to face the consequences of our actions before they lead to a state of imprisonment, whether literal or metaphorical. It's a compelling exploration of themes of regret, choice, and the desire to be liberated from falsehoods when you're unable to break free from your dishonesty or the lies of others.
