Prison
Wage War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm my own natural disaster beneath my skin
I can't explain and you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain, it's all I think about
I can't explain and you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
I'm trapped in my skin
This is my prison
Behind the bars I create for myself (No one else to blame)
Alone and helpless I'm tied to all this (Living in my chains)
I can't explain and you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain
I'm too deep to believe I can face myself
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
I'm trapped in my skin
This is my prison
I can't explain and you'll never get it
So tell me what's the point now
I can't explain and you just won't get it
I can't numb the pain, numb the pain
I'm too deep to believe I can face myself
It's hard not to give up when you go through hell
I'm trapped in my skin
This is my prison
I'm trapped in my skin, this is my prison
This is my prison
The lyrics to Wage War's song Prison delve into the singer's internal struggle with depression and anxiety, and their inability to escape their own mental torment. The opening lines, "Feels like I'm caught in a whirlwind inside my head / I'm my own natural disaster beneath my skin", paint a vivid picture of the singer's inner chaos and turmoil. They feel like they are constantly being pulled in different directions by their own thoughts and emotions, and this creates a sense of heaviness and chaos within.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of feeling trapped, both mentally and physically. The lines "Behind the bars I create for myself / Alone and helpless I'm tied to all this" suggest that the singer has created a kind of prison for themselves, and they are unable to break free from it. It's a powerful metaphor for the experience of living with mental illness, where you can feel trapped and unable to escape the negative thought patterns and feelings that are holding you back.
Ultimately, the song is a poignant depiction of the struggles of living with mental illness, and the feeling of being trapped in your own mind.
