Prisoner
The Weeknd feat. Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard for me to look into your eyes
When, I say that I would be nothing without your love
I feel the rush and it's amazing
Maybe I've been always destined
To end up in this place (up in this place), yeah
I don't mean to come off selfish
Love will always be a lesson
Let's get out of its way (out of its way)
'Cause I know, all I know, all I know (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I'm a prisoner to my addiction
I'm addicted to a life that's so empty and so cold
I'm a prisoner to my decisions
Woo, woo, woo
I think I've been in Hollywood for too long (for too long)
Cause I can feel my soul burning, feel it burning slow
But I would be nothing without the touch (-out the touch)
I feel the rush and it's amazing, mhm
Maybe I've been always destined to end up in this place (oh)
I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all (want it all)
Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way (out of its way)
'Cause I know, all I know, all I know (ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I'm a prisoner to my addiction
I'm addicted to a life that's so empty and so cold
I'm a prisoner to my decisions
Woo, woo, woo (woah)
I'm a prisoner to my addiction
I'm addicted to a life that's so empty and so cold (empty and so cold)
I'm a prisoner to my decisions (prisoner)
Woo (yeah), woo (yeah), woo
I don't know
I get so wrapped up
In a world
Where nothing's as it seems
And real life i
Is stranger than my dreams
Mhm, mhm
Ooh
Ooh
The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey's song "Prisoner" explores the theme of being trapped in a life that is devoid of meaning and filled with addictions. The song begins with The Weeknd acknowledging that he is lonely and that Lana brings good to his life. He admits that he feels addicted to the rush of being with her and that without her love, he would be nothing. He also talks about how he feels trapped in his life and how he wants it all, despite the fact that it might come off as selfish. In the chorus, he sings about being a prisoner to his addiction and his decisions, and how he is addicted to a life that is empty and cold.
As the song continues, The Weeknd talks about how he feels like he has been in Hollywood for too long and how his soul is burning slowly. He admits that he is addicted to the touch of Lana and that it's amazing, despite the fact that he knows he is trapped in his addiction. He then repeats the chorus, acknowledging that he is a prisoner to his addiction and his decisions.
In the final verse, Lana takes over, and she talks about how she gets wrapped up in a world where nothing is as it seems, and real life is stranger than her dreams. She sings about how she is lost and trapped, just like The Weeknd, and how she sometimes doesn't know what is real and what isn't. This verse reinforces the idea that both The Weeknd and Lana are prisoners to their addictions and their decisions, and they both want to break free from their empty and cold lives.

Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Przynosisz dobro do mojego samotnego życia, szczerze
Trudno jest mi patrzeć w Twoje oczy
Kiedy mówię, że byłbym niczym bez Twojej miłości
Czuję nagły przypływ i to jest niesamowite
[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]
Może zawsze było mi pisane by skończyć w tym miejscu, yeah
Nie chcę brzmieć samolubnie, ale pragnę tego wszystkiego
Miłość zawsze była nauczką, lepiej zejdźmy jej z drogi
Bo wiem, wszystko co wiem, wszystko co wiem..
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey]
Jestem więźniem swoich uzależnień
Jestem uzależniony od pustego i zimnego życia
Jestem więźniem swoich decyzji
Woooo, woooo, woooo
Jestem więźniem swoich uzależnień
Jestem uzależniony od pustego i zimnego życia
Jestem więźniem swoich decyzji
Woooo, woooo, woooo
[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey]
Myślę, że byłam za długo w Hollywood
Bo czuję jak moja dusza się wypala, płonie powoli
Ale byłabym niczym bez dotyku
Czuję nagły przypływ i to jest niesamowite
[Pre-Chorus: Lana Del Rey]
Może zawsze było mi pisane by skończyć w tym miejscu, yeah
Nie chcę brzmieć samolubnie, ale pragnę tego wszystkiego
Miłość zawsze była nauczką, lepiej zejdźmy jej z drogi
Bo wiem, wszystko co wiem, wszystko co wiem..
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey]
Jestem więźniem swoich uzależnień
Jestem uzależniony od pustego i zimnego życia
Jestem więźniem swoich decyzji
Woooo, woooo, woooo
Jestem więźniem swoich uzależnień
Jestem uzależniony od pustego i zimnego życia
Jestem więźniem swoich decyzji
Woooo, woooo, woooo
[Outro: Lana Del Rey]
Nie wiem
Zaplątałam się w świecie, w którym nic nie jest takie jakie się wydaje, a codzienność jest dziwniejsza od moich snów

tradução:::::✨
Você traz o bem pra minha vida solitária, honestamente
É difícil pra mim olhar nos seus olhos
Quando eu digo que eu seria nada sem o seu amor
Eu sinto pressa e é tão incrível
Talvez eu sempre fui destinado
À terminar neste lugar, yeah
Eu não quero dizer pra parecer egoísta, mas eu quero
O amor sempre vai ser uma lição, vamos até o fim
Porque eu sei, tudo que eu sei, tudo que eu sei
Eu sou um prisioneiro do meu vício
Estou viciado em uma vida tão vazia e tão fria
Eu sou um prisioneiro das minhas decisões
Woo, woo, woo
Eu sou um prisioneiro do meu vício
Estou viciado em uma vida tão vazia e tão fria
Eu sou um prisioneiro das minhas decisões
Woo, woo, woo
Eu acho que estive em Hollywood por muito tempo
Porque eu posso sentir minha alma queimando, queimando devagar
Mas eu não seria nada sem o toque
Eu sinto pressa e é incrível
Talvez eu sempre fui destinado
À terminar neste lugar, yeah
Eu não quero dizer pra parecer egoísta, mas eu quero
O amor sempre vai ser uma lição, vamos até o fim
Porque eu sei, tudo que eu sei, tudo que eu sei
Eu sou um prisioneiro do meu vício
Estou viciado em uma vida tão vazia e tão fria
Eu sou um prisioneiro das minhas decisões
Woo, woo, woo
Eu sou um prisioneiro do meu vício
Estou viciado em uma vida tão vazia e tão fria
Eu sou um prisioneiro das minhas decisões
Woo, woo, woo
Eu não sei
Eu me sinto tão limitada em um mundo
onde nada é o que parece
E a vida real é mais estranha que meus sonhos

Two of the greatest artists of our generation both continually snubbed by the Grammys
@iamjvnejiee
LOUDEERRRRRR! Til now I am fucking mad on why Cardi B and Billie won over Lana and now Justin Bieber's album over Abel's greatest album of all. Fuck Grammys! Even my sister who is a fan of JB reacted and she even said "Abel deserves a grammy nomination and not that Bieber's trashy album"
