The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Prisoner" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In the song "Prisoner," The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey sing about a toxic relationship they're trapped in. Although they feel empty and unhappy, they are drawn to each other as if they were addicted.

The Weeknd admits that his lover brings something good to his lonely life, but at the same time, he realizes that without her love, he would be nothing. This feeling of dependence scares him, but he can't resist.

Lana Del Rey, in turn, talks about how Hollywood burned her soul. She also feels empty and dependent on a relationship that brings her more pain than joy. She understands that love is a lesson, but she is not ready to go through it, preferring to remain captive to her feelings.

The chorus "I'm a prisoner to my addiction" emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation. Both artists realize they are trapped but cannot find a way out. They are addicted to this empty and cold life, to their decisions that led them to this.

Lana Del Rey's final lines, "I don't know, I can't get out of this world where nothing is what it seems, and real life is much stranger than my dreams," reinforce the feeling of hopelessness and confusion.

[The Weeknd:]

You bring good to my lonely life, honestly

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, yeah

I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all

Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way

Cause I know, all I know, all I know

[The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey:]

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

Woooo, woooo, woooo

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

Woooo, woooo, woooo

[Lana Del Rey:]

I think I've been in Hollywood for too long

Cause I can feel my soul burning, feel it burning slow

But I would be nothing without the touch

I feel the rush and it's amazing

Maybe I've been always destined to end up in this place, yeah

I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all

Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way

Cause I know, all I know, all I know

[The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey:]

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

Woooo, woooo, woooo

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

Woooo, woooo, woooo

[Lana Del Rey:]

I don't know

I get so wrapped up in a world where nothing's as it seems

And real life is stranger than my dreams
