e song "Lonely Prisoner" reflects the inner torment and despair of someone unjustly imprisoned, isolated, and subjected to daily suffering. Through vivid imagery of chains, darkness, and silence, it portrays a mental and emotional breakdown caused by prolonged violence and injustice. The repeated refrain about an impending death conveys a yearning for peace through release, suggesting that only in death will the protagonist escape the cold and cruel conditions of confinement. Ultimately, the song is a bleak meditation on isolation, hopelessness, and the longing for an end to pain.
Lyrics:
Alone in the darkness,
Surrounded by silence,
Experiencing violence – every day.
The rustling of chains,
These screams in pain,
I’m going insane – every day.
Alone
I’m alone
Tomorrow my life will end,
They tried their best to bend my mind.
Tomorrow I’ll get my peace,
Some peace I’ll finally receive.
Tomorrow it will be over,
Every second it’s getting colder.
Alone in this dungeon,
They call me the bludgeon,
But I did nothing – to end up here.
The dim light at day,
The night flies away,
No colors but grey – inside these walls.
Alone
I’m alone
Tomorrow my life will end,
They tried their best to bend my mind.
Tomorrow I’ll get my peace,
Some peace I’ll finally receive.
Tomorrow it will be over,
Every second it’s getting colder.
I’m alone,
Heart of stone,
So empty – believe me.
Don’t want to be gone
So silent, so violent.
Tomorrow my life will end,
They tried their best to bend my mind.
Tomorrow I’ll get my peace,
Some peace I’ll finally receive.
Tomorrow it will be over,
Every second it’s getting colder.
