Music Monday: Prison by Kode

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. Bjørn and I will pick a song alternatively on each Monday and share our thoughts about them. Timy’s pick this week is Prison by Kode.

After a bit of a break, here we go again with another Music Monday post. I could come up with excuses for the absence, but the truth is, I didn’t feel bothered at all to touch the blog, so hence the mini hiatus. I also would like to say it was a temporary break, but…well… I don’t like lying, so I won’t.

Anyway, let’s focus on music, shall we? Today, I’m bringing Prison by Kode to your attention. This song was released on my birthday, and for some reason, I could have sworn I’ve heard this artist before, but it looks like I might be mistaking him for something else. Whoops. Still, this song got under my skin, so it deserves to get a bit of attention.

[Verse 1]
I’m trapped in a prison, I call it a “Home”
Built by decisions, I claim as my own
I wouldn’t listen, I buried my soul
When I start digging, it hurts in my bones
‘Cause I know that I did this, thought I took a high road
Should’ve missed it. crossed off what I wrote
On my wishlist, if I knew what I know, then I’d end it

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I let all my bridges burn
And I left every stone unturned
And I got what I deserved so
I don’t need

[Chorus]
Help out the mess I live in
I’ll leave it to the one who did it
I don’t make the best decisions
I know damn well I didn’t
I made peace with all of my problеms
‘Cause I know I’m the one who causеd ’em
Here in the mess I live in
Here in the mess I live in

[Verse 2]
I took this position and called it a “Throne”
These lies that I sit in are all that I own
I lost my vision, I’m short on my goal
If I don’t hit it, am I even Kode?
‘Cause I know that I did this
Even with my eyes closed, I’m a witness
In a different timezone, same misfit
If I knew what I know, then I’d end it

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I let all my bridges burn
And I left every stone unturned
And I got what I deserved so
I don’t need

[Chorus]
Help out the mess I live in
I’ll leave it to the one who did it
I don’t make the best decisions
I know damn well I didn’t
I made peace with all of my problems
‘Cause I know I’m the one who caused ’em
Here in the mess I live in
Here in the mess I live in

[Outro]
Here in the mess I live in
