Prison
Zug Izland Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Your attention please. As warden Abbiss announced ealier this week, Ionia state penitentiary is now number one in the country among inmate education. Thirty-one percent of you have earned your GED and or diplomas this year alone. As promised we now present to you in concert, your own fellow inmate Syn. Let's keep it cool and conduct ourselves properly boys. Let's show the warden we can do this again sometime. Here is Syn.

I can remember, all that she gave to me
I can remember, how much she hated me
I can remember, just what she kept from me (Bitch!)
And I remember, all that she left to me

I can recall it, when the love was gone

I can recall it, when the pain was strong
I can recall it, when her palm would flash for what seemed like all night the terror would last

I can remember, the look in my brother's eyes
I can remember, what's left but another try?
I can remember, the heat in the summer time
And I remember, all that was never mine

I can recall it, when the love was gone
I can recall it, when the pain was strong
I can recall it, when her palm would flash for what seemed like all night the terror would last

I'm not here tryin to make amends
Turn back time and I'd kill her again
It's what I call justifiable sin
Cock the hammer back!
And I put two in

I can remember, half her head was gone
And I remember, it was all over the lawn
Also remember, the cops were everywhere
I can remember, I didn't even care

I can recall it, when the love was gone
I can recall it, when the pain was strong
I can recall it, when her palm would flash for what seemed like all night the terror would last

I'm not here tryin to make amends
Turn back time and I'd kill her again
It's what I call justifiable sin
Cock the hammer back!
And I put two in
I'm not here tryin to make amends
Turn back time and I'd kill her again
It's what I call justifiable sin
Cock the hammer back!
And I put two in
I'm not here tryin to make amends
Turn back time and I'd kill her again
It's what I call justifiable sin

Cock the hammer back!
And I put two in

Overall Meaning

The song "Prison" by Zug Izland is a haunting and intense depiction of an inmate's memories of a past violent act committed against someone who hurt him deeply. The opening of the song features an announcement from the warden of the prison discussing the prisoners' educational achievements and introducing the next performer, Syn, who is revealed to be one of the inmates. The song's protagonist then launches into a series of memories about a woman who caused him great pain, including physical abuse and emotional manipulation. He recalls the terror he felt as her palm struck him repeatedly, and even though he later takes revenge on her by shooting her, he admits that he would do it again if given the chance.

The lyrics of "Prison" are a vivid and unsettling portrayal of a violent crime and its aftermath, and they leave the listener with many questions about the singer's state of mind and motivations. It is unclear whether the revenge he took was justified, as he claims, or whether he simply gave in to his anger and violence. The song also raises larger issues about the prison system and the treatment of inmates, particularly their access to education and opportunities for rehabilitation.
