Hostage
Danrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your hands touch my neck as your breath creeps up underneath my skin
I can't help but to want it If you want my love, come get it
And I can't fight the grip on my heart And if love is a drug,
I don't want it Because I don't have any self control The harder
I try to get off it The more I can see that I need it
I was hoping that you'd see What my heart's doing to me
And if love is a drug, I don't want it.Because
I don't have any self control
The harder I try to get off it
The more I can see that I need it (Vocal Chops)
And I can't break free
From your hold on me
Throw away that key
This love don't wanna let me leave
And I am a Hostage I'm a hostage
The lyrics to Danrell's Hostage paint a picture of being trapped in a relationship, captured by the love of someone else. The singer of the song is trying to break free, but something about their partner's touch, their breath on their skin, keeps them coming back for more. The chorus repeats the idea that love is like a drug and that the singer is a hostage to this feeling, unable to escape. Despite recognizing that they don't have any self-control, that the love is holding them back, the singer can't seem to let go.
The song's lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and longing, as if the singer is both yearning to be free and yet terrified of what life would be like without the love that keeps them bound. The metaphor of being a hostage is a potent one, as it suggests that the love is not just something that the singer is attracted to, but something that is actively keeping them captive.
Overall, Danrell's Hostage is a poignant ode to the power of love, and the ways in which it can both lift us up and hold us down.

I'm usually a silent viewer, but today I felt it was necessary to be part of the sheepy community. I've been subscribed for around 3 months now and have never learned to appreciate different aspects of music as much as I have been on this channel. At the end of the day I look forward to finding awesome tracks from upcoming artists. In the past 4 years of me being on YouTube, never have I seen such a loving, considerate, respectful and polite community! Both sheepy and all who watch and respect his videos should be very, very proud of this channel! I know I sure am! Whether you're a silent viewer like me, or a regular commenter, it's still so cool to be apart of this channel. I respect sheepy a lot and all his viewers too! I hope you all have a great day!
