Prisoner of the Past
Cauldron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was too easy
It was so unkind
Held so much meaning
Then I fell behind

Just a prisoner
Of the past
Don't know how
To make it last
You can't see
Your time won't come
There is nowhere left to run

Trying for too long try to make it last
Watch it come undone
Nothing will amass

Just a prisoner
Of the past
Don't know how
To make it last
You can't see
Your time won't come
There is nowhere left to run
Just a prisoner
Of the past
Don't know how
To make it last
You can't see
Your time won't come
there is nowhere left to run

Falling deep into
What I shouldn't have
Never figure out
How to make it back

Just a prisoner
Of the past
Don't know how
To make it last
You can't see
Your time won't come
there is nowhere left to run
Just a prisoner
Of the past
Don't know how
To make it last
You can't see




Your time won't come
There is nowhere left to run

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cauldron's song "Prisoner of the Past" convey a sense of regret and stagnation, highlighting the struggles of trying to hold onto something meaningful from the past while feeling trapped and unable to move forward. The verses describe a situation that was once enjoyable, but has become difficult and unkind. It suggests that this situation held significant value and meaning, but the singer fell behind, possibly due to their own actions or circumstances.


The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being imprisoned by the past, with the singer expressing their inability to make it last or find a way to move forward. The repetition of the phrase "Just a prisoner of the past" underscores the feeling of being trapped, while the line "Your time won't come, there is nowhere left to run" implies a sense of hopelessness and the absence of options.


The second verse reveals the consequences of falling into something undesirable, expressing the inability to figure out a way back or make amends. This further reinforces the theme of feeling trapped and unable to escape the past.

Never heard of this band before, but this is great stuff! I knew I liked it from first hearing the heavy, incredible guitar tone. I love the vocals, you can really feel the emotion in the singing and the lead guitar playing.
