Hostage
Stories Untold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unless you count inside your arms
We're so tragically divided
Like an ocean that's colliding
and we both know where the pieces fall
Your Sunken face has said it all
Now i'm finally feeling wanted
and I'm Sick of feeling all of this
cause i don't know where my head is
I'm twisted up in all of this
I'm sick of feeling all
I'm holding on to what is left
while everyting is breaking
and this where i want to be
where everyone is leaving
You're so caught up in this moment
while i'm caught up in your life
and you didn't mean it,
but i still witnessed
the very act of tearing bit to bit my...
It's cold out, a cold won't keep you warn
It's cold out, a cold won't keep you warn
It's cold out, a cold won't keep you warn
It's cold out, and he can't keep you
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
You grip on me is feeling tight
and although it make me feel alive
I can't help but feel so restless
and i don't known where my breath is
When we planned to run away
I thought about it every day
but you left without me, on a train car
and i got this feeling that
it's nowhere good
It cold out, a cold won't keep you warm
It cold out, a cold won't keep you warm
It cold out, a cold won't keep you warm
It cold out, and he can't keep you
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage
Truth is i don't want to leave
I'm tried up like a hostage.
The lyrics of Stories Untold's song "Hostage" convey a sense of longing and desperation for a deeper sense of belonging and connection in a relationship. The singer expresses a feeling of being trapped, held hostage by their own emotions and the grip their partner has on them, while also acknowledging an intense desire to stay. The lines "There's nowhere left where I belong unless you count inside your arms" and "I'm tied up like a hostage, truth is I don't want to leave" perfectly capture the conflicting emotions of wanting to be free and wanting to stay in the relationship.
The lyrics also touch on themes of betrayal and abandonment. The lines "when we planned to run away, I thought about it every day, but you left without me, on a train car, and I got this feeling that it's nowhere good" hint at a past plan to escape together that was ultimately broken by the partner leaving the singer behind. The singer is left feeling hurt and lost, struggling to find their footing in a relationship that feels impossible to navigate.
Overall, "Hostage" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the complexities of love and relationships, specifically the balance between freedom and attachment.

There's nowhere left where I belong
I feel like I don't belong anywhere
Unless you count inside your arms
except for when I'm with you
We're so tragically divided
we're divided in a sad and hopeless way
Like an ocean that's colliding
our differences clash like waves in an ocean
and we both know where the pieces fall
we both know how this will end
Your Sunken face has said it all
your expression reveals everything
Now I'm finally feeling wanted
with you, I feel accepted
Like a streetcar named desire
like a passionate longing that can't be ignored
and I'm Sick of feeling all of this
I'm tired of feeling this way
cause I don't know where my head is
because I'm so confused
I'm twisted up in all of this
I'm tangled up in this situation
I'm sick of feeling all
I'm tired of feeling this way
I'm holding on to what is left
I'm trying to cling to what little hope remains
while everything is breaking
everything around me is falling apart
and this where I want to be
being with you is where I want to be
where everyone is leaving
even though everyone else is leaving this situation
You're so caught up in this moment
you're so focused on the now
while I'm caught up in your life
I'm wrapped up in your world
And you didn't mean it,
you didn't intend for this to happen
but I still witnessed the very act of tearing bit to bit my...
but I still saw how painful it was for me
It's cold out, a cold won't keep you warn
it's cold outside, you need something more than just a cold to keep you warm
I'm tried up like a hostage
I feel tied up and trapped
Truth is I don't want to leave
even though I feel trapped, I don't want to leave you
You grip on me is feeling tight
your hold on me is strong and intense
and although it make me feel alive
even though it's intense, it makes me feel alive
I can't help but feel so restless
despite feeling alive, I'm still anxious and agitated
and I don't know where my breath is
I feel like I can't catch my breath
When we planned to run away
when we talked about leaving this place
I thought about it every day
I kept thinking about it constantly
but you left without me, on a train car
but you went without me, leaving me behind
and I got this feeling that it's nowhere good
I have a sense that this won't end well
