these are some of the most personal lyrics i've ever written .. was very nervous to share them with you .. hope you like it and i hope that if you relate to it in some way it helps to know that you aren't alone !
alec is definitely the most underrated and talented artist of this generation and it seriously annoys me how him and his music doesn’t get the attention it deserves. this is such a beautiful masterpiece
You both actually don't know faouzia . I recommend listening to her songs ( born without a heart - tears of gold and heart grave ) she is so underrated and just 19 years old
It's getting there finally. I heard his song the radio a week ago, and my friend goes "oh I love this song!" and I had my first hipster moment of "I SHOWED THIS TO YOU MONTHS AGO AND YOU DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT" lol
Everyone? Not me. Good song but I can't relate. I like solitude and being alone, I enjoy being away from others. And it's best for others that I stay away. My mind is the one peaceful place I have.
I don't think anyone'll read this, but this song literally changed me. It's not about quarantine. Thank you, Alec Benjamin, for writing such a masterpiece.
When you are just so close to escaping your own mind trap, and then something happens and you are stuck again in the worst place possible....there are just no words to describe it
The reason I love Alec Benjamin is because , before I found this music I was always feeling alone like no one understood my pain , now that I’ve found this channel , it made me feel less depressed. In my personal opinion , people WANT to hear the popular new rap , pop etc. But people NEED to hear this Edit , thanks for all the the likes , I’m shook
"Alone with my thoughts again, guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out" The most scary yet relatable lyrics of the song. This hit most of the listeners hard.
This is why I love his music. The lyrics are relatable. His lyrics are real and come from his heart. Not just about money and fame like other singers make their songs about.
Tears overflow with this song playing in the background. I'm hurt to the point of no return. Overthinking, anxiety, depression etc. You name it,i have it...
"I'm always stuck in my head, I wish I could escape". That hit me so hard, 'cause now, I'm really trying to deal with my head, but this is so damn difficult. Sometimes, is stronger than me.
I know how you feel but just remember that it won’t always be this way. And when it does change, you’ll look back on how strong you were during this difficult time 💛
He played this at his last concert in Norway, and I’m so happy to hear it again because the first time I didn’t get all the lyrics Edit: omg this is the first time I’ve ever gotten likes on a comment! Thank you♥️
I'm pretty sure this song isn't completely about suicide. It seems more like he is trying to explain how he wishes he could stop overthinking things so much (which a lot of people, including me, relate to) and he just wants to be free of the burdens or whatever the people in the song represent.
Dexterity I agree I think this song is a metaphor and not literal and very open to interpretation to give it meaning to each individual who listens to it :)
@@ashlqk Its different for everyone but for me it's the feeling of no love and going crazy inside my mind. The feeling that everyone just looks away from you and your problems
I see most people in the comments talking about how the lyrics are relatable and how it is describing their depression and anxiety but for me its not I see you side about it but manipulative daydreaming is something I go through and like I said I see your point and how its about depression and anxiety but this is just how I see it
*LYRICS* I dont live in California I'll inform you, that's not where I reside I'm just a tenant paying rent inside this body and I Got 2 windows and those windows well I'll call them my eyes I'm just going where the wind blows I dont get to decide Sometimes I think too much Ya I get so caught up I'm always stuck in my head I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday Took all the sheets off my bed Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found Scalled the side of the building I ran to the hills till they found me And they put me, back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out So they tranquilized me, analyzed me Threw me back in my cage Then they tied me to an I'v told me I was insane I'm a prisoner, a visitor Inside of my brain And no mather what I do they try to keep me in chains Sometimes I think too much Ya I get so caught up I'm always stuck in my head I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday Took all the sheets off my bed Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found Scalled the side of the building I ran to the hills till they found me And they put me, back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out Said even if It's true No matter what I do I'm never gonna escape I wont give up on hope Secure another rope And try for another day Said even if It's true No matter what I do I'm never gonna escape I wont give up on hope Secure another rope And try for another day Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found Scalled the side of the building I ran to the hills till they found me And they put me, back in my cell All by myself, alone with my thoughts again I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
this song sounds like a hug that says "i know how you are feeling, because i've been there, and you will get out, because i did. don't give up. you are strong, you are amazing, and you will get through this."
"Said even if it's true. No Matter what i do. I'm never gonna escape. I won't give up on hope. Secure another rope And try for another day." This hits me deeply. Even if what you do is futile, keep on fighting for another day. If your struggles won't pay off, then make your struggle mean something for both yourself and others. Like spitting in the face of the abyss and having hope even as you descend down into hell. A fight not for escape but rather for yourself to keep moving and keep living. One painful step at a time.
alec has truly helped me through a lot. When i went through my first breakup he was there for me. Every time my parents fought he was there, and that was many times. Even just thinking of memories, he was there for me. thank you alec. you’re genuinely the best person i know. you’ve always been here for me. I know it sounds sappy but it’s the truth. ❤️
As a sufferer of anxiety, depression, trauma and possible OCD - these lyrics hit so hard. There are days where I just can’t get out of my head or stop dissociating and it’s so exhausting. Therapy has helped so much but it’s still nice to hear this song and know past me wasn’t alone and future me will never be alone either. 🖤
Our mind is a mental jail It hard to escape when it has been broken Every time we try to move on something is holding us back Every glimmer of hope seem to slip away The unknown fear makes it hard to move on All that we do is live a life of emptyness. We are hollow looking to fill in the void. Our mind is the hardest prison to break from because it atterly destroy us. Srry for bad English & hope u like it Edit: Thank you so much for 1k.. I appreciate every-one of you for like & comments. Stay safe & have good day.
I don’t understand why people dislike videos if u don’t like it leave the video. Alec is such a great artist he makes all kind of music that can be peppy or sad that’s why i listen to him.
I think the point of disliking a video is to keep similar content for showing up in your feed.. but all of this is irrelevant here because Alec Benjamin is awesome and nobody should dislike his work :)
When I found Alec on Spotify, I regret to say it was by mistake. But after listening to only one song, Boy in the bubble, I was brought to tears. I kept listening to his songs and couldn't wait until more came out. Alec, you are amazing at singing and saying what others are feeling. Please don't ever stop singing and showing people that even if they think there isn't a door there will be a window. ~M
When I first went through every single one of Alec’s songs about 3-4 years ago, this one hadn’t caught my attention that much. Now it’s arguably the most accurate and personal song I have. Alec gets humanity more than humanity does.
me too brother...Especially when i usully had Axienty and worry about every single thing i do...every thing i all way think about the Consequenes first and all the problem and...yea...............i get stuck on a lot of thing
This song reminds me of dissociation perfectly. Specifically depersonalization derealization disorder and dissociative identity disorder, both of which I have. This song is definitely the most relatable song that exists for me. What a masterpiece.
I thought I was the only one who had a pretty horrible year. But it also got better in September but it only lasted for that month. So yeah. Good to know I'm not the only one
This has an entirely different and new sound than the other songs, and I love it! It fits the lyrics so well. The lyrics are so personal, and they hit hard. Thank you for sharing this, Alec.
Yes! This is also what I think. Sometimes when Sherlock Holmes is struggling with a case he wouldn't eat or move and just stay in his mind palace try to solve the case. It makes John Watson very worried that Sherlock is trap in his mind palace. I guess this is the reason why I also like this Song because I can relate to it too.
How do you speak to the soul of an old man Alec? I've always wondered but now I'm quite sure that you're an angel. Only real angel have no idea of their mission until the time is right. The time has always been "right" for you. My parents once bought me a guitar in 1968. I gave it to a boy down the street. I overheard my mom speaking to his mom on the phone. His dad had just been killed in a place called Vietnam. I was ten years old. I've always known that I could have had a life in music. If seems that my life had other plans for me. You're my inspiration Alec.
I suffer from OCD, along with several other mental illnesses, and this song hit hard on a very emotional level. I guess it's just nice to know that there are others out there that feel the same way I do.
every single song tells a different story, this is real talent. alec, you have real talent and i'm so glad that you put these out, despite how nervous you feel. thank you, and we love you :)
I remember I found this song as soon as it's out for the first time, 5am in the morning 3 years ago. I cried so much and put this on repeat. Now I'm all okay and happy knowing Im not alone. Ever since then, Ive become his huge fan. Thank you Alec

Amazing as always

This song is amazing 😍
Alec Benjamin ; you’re truly amazing. Alec, you’re an inspiration and we love you so much!
alec is definitely the most underrated and talented artist of this generation and it seriously annoys me how him and his music doesn’t get the attention it deserves. this is such a beautiful masterpiece
also Zayn is so underrated :(
You both actually don't know faouzia . I recommend listening to her songs ( born without a heart - tears of gold and heart grave ) she is so underrated and just 19 years old
Also Yungblud is so underrated🖤
Ok your opinion would have been correct a year ago but he’s very popular now I mean in just 2 hours the song has 159k veiws
I like Cavetown too
Therapy: *Expensive*
Alec's songs: *free*
that's actually so fucking sad
Joon MyDude seriously thooo
even expensive girl be coming for this song
have you ever listened to NF hes amazing and is honestly like an amazing singer and rapper
Joon MyDude woojin? is that you?
"So Alec, do you want to be a storyteller or a songwriter?"
Alec: *Y e s*
Lol
lol
One in the same dude
Lol chain
Lol and NF
Why hasn’t he got a bigger audience? The dude has talent.
It's getting there finally. I heard his song the radio a week ago, and my friend goes "oh I love this song!" and I had my first hipster moment of "I SHOWED THIS TO YOU MONTHS AGO AND YOU DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT" lol
I know he'll get the bigger audience he truly deserves soon hes going at his own pace keeping his humbleness and happiness
I KNOW RIGHT
Cinna Bear same, i was really happy to finally hear him on the radio
@@CinnahBaer thats how me and my friends are for life lol
"I'm a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain"
"Alone with my thoughts again"
Feels good to see someone understands what it's like to feel that way.
You’re not the only one
There are more people who feel this way than you think..
👁 don’t discredit someone’s feelings...
@@svftlilemrose thank you so much for standing by.. We don't need to validate ourselves to haters. Let them speak.
Tani D Agree 💚
The fact that everyone can relate to these lyrics proves something.
Mental health is declining rapidly in many people.
Everyone?
Not me.
Good song but I can't relate.
I like solitude and being alone, I enjoy being away from others. And it's best for others that I stay away.
My mind is the one peaceful place I have.
Shahid Sorry your take is trash.
Exactly
Reapers breath last death u r a lucky person cuz there r many with ocd and who have trouble in many ways who realate to dis song ..(like me 😅)
Alec has the kind of voice that makes you cry just by listening
ikr
His voice is...idk how to explain it, like my safe place
Unless you've lost the ability to cry...
🙏😢
Ik the first time I heard it the words spoke to me
He doesn't have bad songs. And his voice is so relaxing.
Ikr
Nobody has bad songs
It's just our perspective
Who said he has bad songs??

It's scary how almost everyone can relate to this song.
Yes, very true
Zaparian Life Legos so true
Everyone who listens to him is depressed
Why is everyone so edgy here?
Ture......
When you are just so close to escaping your own mind trap, and then something happens and you are stuck again in the worst place possible....there are just no words to describe it
Until Alec comes in.
Yeah it hurts man.
@wendymotown9718 HAHAHA
"I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out"
This hit REAL hard.
It really did 💔
Krina Limbachiya it did
I read that when he sung it

@Juan Cortez Muro stfu
Oof ik...
People's blurry eyes with tears after listening to this song is the only reason this song has got dislikes by mistake
Yes
Noice
Lol😂
Mm hmm seems legit
Yep its less than 1k now seems legit
"I wont give up on hope, secure another rope.
and try for another day."
This is how I talk myself to fight back the thoughts inside my mind.
When I read this comment that part was going it was like it was knew I was gonna see it
those people who can't relate to this song are so lucky
hehe me
I know
I wish I couldn't relate to this 😭😭😭
I'm thankful I can't relate to this beautiful song, and praying for those who can. 🙏❤
I wish I couldn't relate. Schizophrenia is a bish
The reason I love Alec Benjamin is because , before I found this music I was always feeling alone like no one understood my pain , now that I’ve found this channel , it made me feel less depressed.
In my personal opinion , people WANT to hear the popular new rap , pop etc.
But people NEED to hear this
Edit , thanks for all the the likes , I’m shook
❤
100% agree with u
FAX
i only hear to songs like these
a word.
Can we appreciate the time he took to get his window moist everytime he finishes writing on it
Yes
Exactly what I was thinking 👏🏻
"Alone with my thoughts again, guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out"
The most scary yet relatable lyrics of the song. This hit most of the listeners hard.
Me everyday
true true
This song hits so hard. It's talking about anxiety and depression.
it's about ocd but it represents anxiety in general pretty well
“I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday”
This is honestly the most relatable lyrics out of the whole song..
Hi its Rave I have to disagree with that
These are the most relatable for me.
Ok
I will politely disagree and say that the line that, "my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out," Is a powerful line.
I think the whole song is powerful
This is why I love his music. The lyrics are relatable. His lyrics are real and come from his heart. Not just about money and fame like other singers make their songs about.
or about boobs and butts
How is everything this man releases so lyrically brilliant
I couldn't tell you but it's pretty amazing
Tears overflow with this song playing in the background. I'm hurt to the point of no return. Overthinking, anxiety, depression etc. You name it,i have it...
"I'm always stuck in my head, I wish I could escape". That hit me so hard, 'cause now, I'm really trying to deal with my head, but this is so damn difficult. Sometimes, is stronger than me.
I feel you too...Stay strong💕Also I wish you the best💕
Same 😔
I know how you feel but just remember that it won’t always be this way. And when it does change, you’ll look back on how strong you were during this difficult time 💛
“Put me back in my cell” “I’m a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain”. “ Wish I could escape” How those words hurt.
This is honestly the most relatable song I’ve ever heard...it’s actually insane...
Most underrated singer.

Explaining your feelings is never easy.
But this song explains a lot.
No one: a
Absolutely no one:
Alec Benjamin: releases a wonderfully simple, catchy, formulaic song about self-reflection and internal struggles
MAXIMUS neat sum-up :)
_“i won't give up on hope, secure another rope and try for another day..”_
god i hope he's doing okay..
I'm pretty sure this song isn't completely about suicide. It seems more like he is trying to explain how he wishes he could stop overthinking things so much (which a lot of people, including me, relate to) and he just wants to be free of the burdens or whatever the people in the song represent.
Dexterity I agree I think this song is a metaphor and not literal and very open to interpretation to give it meaning to each individual who listens to it :)
It sounds more to me like he's tied up in his own thoughts, and he's telling them to go away, cause he doesn't wanna feel trapped anymore :)
this is how I feel when I have my panic attacks, it’s a horrible thing to deal with. This song really comforted me, well done 🥺
Yeah same...
how do u feel when u have panic attacks? I've heard people talking about it often.
@@ashlqk Its different for everyone but for me it's the feeling of no love and going crazy inside my mind. The feeling that everyone just looks away from you and your problems

*LYRICS*
I dont live in California
I'll inform you, that's not where I reside
I'm just a tenant paying rent inside this body and I
Got 2 windows and those windows well
I'll call them my eyes
I'm just going where the wind blows
I dont get to decide
Sometimes I think too much
Ya I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets off my bed
Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found
Scalled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me, back in my cell
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
So they tranquilized me, analyzed me
Threw me back in my cage
Then they tied me to an I'v told me I was insane
I'm a prisoner, a visitor
Inside of my brain
And no mather what I do they try to keep me in chains
Sometimes I think too much
Ya I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets off my bed
Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found
Scalled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me, back in my cell
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
Said even if It's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I wont give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
Said even if It's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I wont give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found
Scalled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me, back in my cell
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out

Our mind is a mental jail
It hard to escape when it has been broken
Every time we try to move on something is holding us back
Every glimmer of hope seem to slip away
The unknown fear makes it hard to move on
All that we do is live a life of emptyness.
We are hollow looking to fill in the void.
Our mind is the hardest prison to break from because it atterly destroy us.

You are correct cuz sometimes I get trapped in my own thoughts
Very relatable.
What hits me the most is that almost everyone can relate to this
This is one of my favorite songs by Alec. It's relatable and the chorus is fire. Can't express how much I appreciate this song
I don’t understand why people dislike videos if u don’t like it leave the video. Alec is such a great artist he makes all kind of music that can be peppy or sad that’s why i listen to him.

“How much do you want your supporters to cry?”
Alec: YES
Me: I want to hang out with friends and have so much fun in life
Also me: * Depression gets in the way of me accomplishing that *
Me: 0:50
You can have it all! Don't let depression kill you! You are so much more worth than that.

I kept listening to his songs and couldn't wait until more came out. Alec, you are amazing at singing and saying what others are feeling. Please don't ever stop singing and showing people that even if they think there isn't a door there will be a window.

10 more seconds i know its gonna be cool already-
edit: his voice is goals
This song is deep, It ties in with Depression but a bit of having anxiety too. I like it.
Who is better?
Like: Alec Benjamin
Comment: Alec Benjamin
Seriously? How can all these people choose Alec Benjamin instead of Alec Benjamin? Terrible taste 😒
Hi
Alec Benjamin 🖤🖤🖤
@@neringa7649 seriously tho 😪
Hard decision tbh
When I first went through every single one of Alec’s songs about 3-4 years ago, this one hadn’t caught my attention that much. Now it’s arguably the most accurate and personal song I have. Alec gets humanity more than humanity does.
"Why don't you fight and escape?"
*"They're too strong"*
So simple yet so deep, he is one of the most talented artist of this generation.
Billie is only singing about how she's a bad guy so don't put her in the same crown as Alec..
Yeah ❤
“I guess my mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out”
I felt that ❤️💔❤️
Scarecrow Love Same 😢
me too brother...Especially when i usully had Axienty and worry about every single thing i do...every thing i all way think about the Consequenes first and all the problem and...yea...............i get stuck on a lot of thing
My world of fun 14?
This song reminds me of dissociation perfectly. Specifically depersonalization derealization disorder and dissociative identity disorder, both of which I have. This song is definitely the most relatable song that exists for me. What a masterpiece.
There is no better way to end a fucked up year like 2019 to end! Thanks Alec!
PERIOD
Yeah rly fuck up year
or to end a fucked up decade
I thought I was the only one who had a pretty horrible year. But it also got better in September but it only lasted for that month. So yeah.
Good to know I'm not the only one
Cheer Up everyone, New Year is around the corner!
This has an entirely different and new sound than the other songs, and I love it! It fits the lyrics so well.
The lyrics are so personal, and they hit hard. Thank you for sharing this, Alec.
If I could choose a song to express my mind in 2019 this would be it
Sherlock Holmes: mind is a palace
Alec Benjamin: hold it
this is kinda underrated
Yes! This is also what I think. Sometimes when Sherlock Holmes is struggling with a case he wouldn't eat or move and just stay in his mind palace try to solve the case. It makes John Watson very worried that Sherlock is trap in his mind palace. I guess this is the reason why I also like this Song because I can relate to it too.
Music Labels: "No artist can give back to back hits."

@@connorolson6121 yeah
How do you speak to the soul of an old man Alec? I've always wondered but now I'm quite sure that you're an angel. Only real angel have no idea of their mission until the time is right. The time has always been "right" for you. My parents once bought me a guitar in 1968. I gave it to a boy down the street. I overheard my mom speaking to his mom on the phone. His dad had just been killed in a place called Vietnam. I was ten years old. I've always known that I could have had a life in music. If seems that my life had other plans for me. You're my inspiration Alec.
I love this line
"Im a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain"
guess my mind is a prison and i'm never gonna get out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same
"They put me back into my cell" Sometimes you wanna run wild , do something new (go the hills) but your anxiety and fears drive you back home.
Alec: premieres a new song
me, hasn’t even heard the song yet: beautiful, art, amazing, iconic, nothing like it, ground breaking, masterpiece.
I suffer from OCD, along with several other mental illnesses, and this song hit hard on a very emotional level. I guess it's just nice to know that there are others out there that feel the same way I do.
I got you bro.....i feel the same.....🖤
Sorry you feel this way :((

I remember I found this song as soon as it's out for the first time, 5am in the morning 3 years ago. I cried so much and put this on repeat. Now I'm all okay and happy knowing Im not alone. Ever since then, Ive become his huge fan. Thank you Alec
