Prisoner
Jeffree Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no regrets
And I remember the day that we met
There was no way that I could forget you
So I followed you home
And I waited 'til you were alone

And I crept
Into your room while you slept
I laid next to you and I knew
That I could never let you go

And I know this seems so wrong
But I'm just a lovesick criminal

You can arrest me, baby, I don't wanna leave
Lock me up, throw away the key
I don't care if I'm in trouble deep
I'm addicted to your love

I'll be your prisoner
I'll be your prisoner tonight
I, I, I, I'm under your spell
And I just can't get enough

You woke up to me
Starin' at you in your sleep
Like a deer in the headlights I couldn't see
Anything else but the way you breathe

And you screamed at the top of your lungs
You couldn't believe it
You thought you were dreamin'
I knew, I never wanted you to let me go

I know this seems so wrong
But I'm just a lovesick criminal

You can arrest me, baby, I don't wanna leave
Lock me up, throw away the key
I don't care if I'm in trouble deep
I'm addicted to your love

I'll be your prisoner
I'll be your prisoner tonight
I, I, I, I'm under your spell
And I just can't get enough

I'm prepared for all the consequences
Believe me, I have the worst intentions
I'm prepared for all the consequences
Believe me, believe me

I'm prepared for all the consequences
Believe me, I have the worst intentions
I'm prepared for all the consequences
Believe me, believe me

Never let you go

You can arrest me, baby, I don't wanna leave
Lock me up, throw away the key
I don't care if I'm in trouble deep
I'm addicted to your love

I'll be your prisoner
I'll be your prisoner tonight
I, I, I, I'm under your spell
And I just can't get enough

I'll be your prisoner tonight
I'll be your prisoner




I, I, I, I'm under your spell
And I just can't get enough

Overall Meaning

In Jeffree Star's song "Prisoner," the lyrics provide a rather unsettling message that showcases obsessive behavior and a disregard for consent. The song describes the story of the singer's infatuation with someone he just met, to the point of breaking into their room while they are sleeping to be near them. The singer is aware that what he is doing is wrong, but he cannot resist the pull of his love for the other person. This obsession has turned into an addiction that he cannot shake, and he is willing to face any consequences to be with this person.


The song's mood is dark and chaotic, reflecting the singer's mental state and his troubling behavior. Throughout the song, there is a sense of paranoia and danger that is unsettling to the listener. The instrumentals, made up of bass-heavy beats and tense synths, complement this feeling and create a sense of unease.


Overall, "Prisoner" is a song that is not for the faint of heart. The lyrics depict an uncomfortable situation that should never be glorified or romanticized. However, it is an interesting look into the mind of someone who is consumed by their love for another person to the point of obsession.
