Lyrics
I don't 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 two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, 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 five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled 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
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 IV, told me I was insane
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught upI'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 five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled 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
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 won't 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 won't give up on hope, secure another rope
And try for another day
Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled 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
Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out

oh! hi! your songs are so amazing... you don’t know how hard they touch me
Alex Benjamin Ft. Ali Gatie?
I love you both :')
Sometimes it feels like this guy GETS IT like really GETS IT, he gets inside your feelings and makes a home and the lyrics stay forever
rafisa rifa if u think only one check out NF
Well he got me
Almost whenever I hear a new song I start crying, because he really hit the feels
Just sometimes?
rafisa rifa Really tho 🥺🥺
This song probably hits people with depression hard
Anxiety is worse for this song
And people with ocd
@Tahoora Davoodi yeah :/ instead of saying they have it when they like cleaning
@Tahoora Davoodi yeah true, what a sad world sometimes :')
You got right😀oh don't forget abt anxiety
I forgot the title of this song so I just type “alec benjamin fish tank”😂😅
Lamo
did it work tho?
@Letong Xu wow ok lmao
lol i did it and it worked
that is the funniest thing I have ever heard
dear alec,
you will never read this and i understand but i want you to know that we (i think i can speak for all your fans) are so proud of you for what you accomplished to this day and i believe that you will get bigger even more. this song means a lot to you and i want to thank you for trusting us and release this song because i think it wasn’t so easy for you. i’m glad i found your music.

i love u for that sis / bro
The lyrics are poetry. I remember I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It hits too close to home.

Its like fall in love on the first sigh / Heard? 🤭 its just too good, i love it
Honestly Alec sure knows how to hit close to home.
Yea you right that's why all of his song are my favourite song because its like a poem
same, no cap.

Fun fact
Alec can't write a bad song if he wanted to
So true😁
so trueeee
Him trying to write a bad song is like trying to light a match in the rain

For real, every song I’ve listened too by him i liked.
I feel like Alec would be such a good best friend.
Ayu shi thanks 😊

Whats one of them? ...
Right?!
he really would :(
he's a underrated singer
•He sings beautifully
•He's good looking
•signs things that makes sense
•Underrated
I made this songs cover 😊
I couldn't agree more
Someguy withouthair I wouldn’t say he’s underrated. He’s fairly new to being more highly discovered so I think it’ll take time as it has for many of these amazing singers who it took years to be noticed.
And alot of his songs are relatable to me at least
He's underwater artist too😂😂
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤
Its time my brother, come back
Man this song is on my everyday playlist

lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for to deceive) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids.
Lie: holidays (xmas, halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
11 lies, should i go on?
“My mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out”
I relate to this too much
Sam Harris has a great book "Waking Up, spirituality without religion" in which he explores consciousness... he talks about the glimpses of possible states of consciousness that particular drug experiences have given him … and concludes that chronically tripping on drugs is not the best way forward, but rather to pursue awareness through meditation practices... to help breakthrough the appearance what he describes as "like being held prisoner by the most boring person on the planet" (being a "victim" of the chronic diatribe of the mind). Somebody (Shakesphere / Voltaire?) said something along the lines of "nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so." / shrug -Think Well ! ;-)
I relate to it but a different way like my relation to it would be my school is like a prison and I can't get out.
Me too sis

I get it, i've throught that so many times
im ur first like and have not read ur comment
pffft what is that?
throught... i'm gonna say it like that now
@@TasteTheFlesh17 hahah
its obvious you dingus
As a person struggling with anxiety disorder and depression I can relate to Alec's songs. Mind is really a prison. Alec,honestly you are the best
Same here brother but along with that I am also an introvert.Neither my parents nor anyone could understand me and my feelings.Always helped others in studies,stood beside them always but the thing that only I recieved is betrayal and conspiracy.There is not a single day when my mind,heart and soul haven't cried bitterly.From 5 years of age to till now (I am 19+ years) I was bullied,harrassed by my parents,teachers and classmates due to my physical appearance and always compared me with others who were superior than me and humiliate me.Whenever I will ask them anything to purchase,the only answer I will get is we don't have money,but they have money to donate money and waste money to strangers.I demanded a laptop for doing productive works and to take my university notes and use it for studies and for casual gaming when I will have spare time after studies,they scolded me that I am a disgrace,stupid.Many times I ask to myself that why the hell I got birth in this world,what is my necessity in this world, for whom am I thriving in this frustrating life?At that moment I listen to alec Benjamin songs which soothes my soul for a while so that I can muster up courage to see another day.I hope that you can understand my emotions as you are also going through that phase.😢😢😢😢😢😢
So are you fine now?
@JOY IMPACT nah but I find comfort in Alec's songs
@@writtenby.christine so u student or adult? ;
Yes! Same ❤
“So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage, then they tied to me to an IV told me I was insane” that line hit home too hard it should be criminal🖤💯
Can anybody just not notice how soft his voice is and beautiful it is?
Yes I love his voice
I swear to God he has a voice that is so beautiful and so sweet like his voice made be actually cry like I'm actually listening to Angel and I went through something and it actually made me remember of what I had to go through
Sounds weird to me tho
Everyone noticed it
i hope ur joking-
As I age, my voice gets worse. As Alec ages, his voice gets better.
Taylor Holloway that must be why..woah!
idk how but my god i use to sound terrible😂i would sing taylor swift songs and i wanted to be able to high pitch. i can now. i listen to Lewis Capaldi, Alec, and Ariana a lot now. and singing their songs is easier for my throat.

It's been near a year, but i still enjoy it.
That's what makes a song a good song.
Ahmm
2 years now
3 years now and I still love it
I struggle with anxiety and depression so the lyrics hit home for me, thanks Alec for illustrating what it feels like to be in one's own head. No one will ever understand what it's like for me the frustration and worry is almost insurmountable to the point where I want to just fly away but I live to fight another day, and the strength that I produce today is the strength that carries me through tomorrow.
I relate....late night thoughts are the worst

Relatable ngl
Nightfalls 😀😀
Just become adhd, you'll lose your train of thought 2 minutes into what ever you're thinking about and fall asleep
"Become an observer of the currents of thought that flow through your consciousness. Just like someone sitting by the side of a river watching the river flow by, sit by the side of your mind and watch. Or just as someone sits in the forest and watches a line of birds flying by, just sit and watch. Or the way someone watches the rainy sky and the moving clouds, you just watch the clouds of thoughts moving in the sky of your mind. The flying birds of thoughts, the flowing river of thoughts in the same way, silently standing on the bank, you simply sit and watch. It is the same as if you are sitting on the bank, watching the thoughts flowing by. Don’t do anything, don’t interfere, don’t stop them in any way. Don’t repress in any way. If there is a thought coming don’t stop it, if it is not coming don’t try to force it to come. You are simply to be an observer…." -- OSHO

Omg another Savannah Hi!!!
I was in depression for a long time and nobody even cares. Then I sang this song at school and it made everyone cried and ask me if I'm ok or not.
This song saved me from suicide.
Thank you Alec. Love your songs💜💜
I hope you’re doing better now 💜💜
man, i wish i had the confidence to sing infront of people
sweeter than sugar Same tho
hope you're doing better *gives hug*
Relatable my guy, (except for the singing part w everyone making sure you're ok...) YOU ARE NOT ALONE Btw Plz S.O.S 😨😥
This is actually so relatable I can't count how many times I feel trapped in my head like I'm just watching everything happen without being able to do anything
I get it..the water..the chains...that's what depression feels like
I found Alec totally by accident. I was scrolling through the comments of a Billie Eilish song and one of the comment said “ Billie and Alec Benjamin should do a duet. It would be so fire” I thought to myself “ who tf is Alec Benjamin” I spent the next 2 hours binging almost all of his music and it was some of the best 2 hours of my life spent. I came into school 2 days later and spent the entire lunch period raving about his music to my friend. She and I ( now a year later) are still completely obsessed with his music and call each other every time he releases a new video or song.
yesss man billie and alec...they will be such an amazing match
i have theeee same storyyyy
That's something that happened with me too...😭😭
He is so amazing that anyone will be obsessed just Alec's songs should reach them
Wow same thing happened with me 😍
Listen to Alie gatie "it's you" and thank me later
little rant about the video:
1. If you pay attention you'll realize that in the "drowning" part he still has space to breathe IF he chooses to stand up. The message I take from this is the fact that you can choose to get better but only if you want to.
2. I also noticed how in the fishbowl there are plants and decoration meaning he has all this commodities and still feels like dying.
3. Also, for a fish this life would be perfect and ideal but he is not one so his needs are not satisfied. this could represent how every person has a different ideal life and it might not be the same for other people.
4. if you notice his face when he is drowning he is in peace, meaning he is already in peace w the idea of drowning, w the idea of dying, w the idea of his thoughts.
ok that's all, those are just theories so...
I love this analysis. It would be the perfect life for someone used to living in captivity and willing to forget how little choice. For someone with a freer spirit, it’s just a cage.
Emily Black e x a c t l y
Damn that's deep
arriba el feminismo you can’t choose to be happy
Not gonna lie you could make some dope videos analyzing music videos and adding you thoughts
I have Autism, depression and anxiety. This song is exactly what it feels like.
When your drowning in your own thoughts tied down by worries and memories, you’re just trying to breathe but with every breath it hurts even worse as the anxiety feels your lungs. You would try anything for just a moment of peace, Just a second of oxygen.
all the dislikes are people who missed the like button because their tears blurred thier eyes
That’s the sad truth
They meant dis-i-like
Straight facts
Yeahhh it's true

@Freeze_VoLuMe It was still useful to me
@Freeze_VoLuMe I doubt there was much effort included haha
Uhm, I don't really know if you just tried to make yourself look smart, but those random commas say the very opposite, like he doesn't say "I'm just a tenant" then takes a break. 😂
@Freeze_VoLuMe yeah that takes like five seconds xD
That was thoughtful of you to do👍
This is by far, the most relatable song I have ever heard, thank you Alec you are phenomenal.

Thinking too much is probably one of the worst torture you can have and paintful sometimes:((
That's my life. Everyday. Everytime. Except when I listen to music
Same. I overthink every little scenario and it really doesn’t help.
@@arunbalu5166 You have my support 💪🏻
For sure. Cause then you start worrying about what you did, thinking about what you could’ve done different/better, regret it and the cycle repeats
Oh and add the ridicules you get from others because you think too much. It helps a bunch ×[]
Last year I almost cried listening to these two windows, most of the songs were so relatable including this one. At that time I only remembered the lyrics but the melody of this song is so amazing. Thank God I got better and I thank all the people in my life who helped me pull myself up, especially those two. I love you.
Thanks Alec for the amazing music, I like you a lot
I'm not having a good time in my own house, but this coming month will be different, I hope it, but during this time Alec was always with me 💛
Alec is my fav singer
Thought this said alec is my favourite ginger
@@1millionpixels81 😂😂😂
Lmao
Nobody:
Alec Benjamin:
The most underrated singer
How is it nobody.. when its litteraly everybody?
so is Sasha sloan
bruh this is not the way you use this format
begging for likes? wow pathetic
Nah tat title goes for ajr
Alec wrote songs related to everybody's feelings in some periods of life
I like the way he actually writes good songs and not generic crap like other modern so called "artists"
I swear every single song of Alec is catchy and meaningful.
He is SO TALENTED.
Yep
Who thinks he should gain more popularity
👇👇👇
1 like = 1000 people
Isra Khan ghost was the one who had to go sit on a table with him and ya just got a message and he said he’s going pretty well I don’t want to go sit down to talk to her about anything wI to be sure
I just don't want people to go he's overrated when he does get popular like alot of other music artists
tbh i dont want him to, for one reason, then, everybody would take these songs outta context, make them less special.
uhm.. why are you using him for likes?
This man is an artist. I'm so glad I found his music. It just speaks to my soul.
I have depression and anxiety, I have had the worst start of the year but the best ending I could imagine. The entire time, your songs help me keep myself together. You're amazing Alec, god bless you buddy
It’s horrible, that feeling you get in your chest when you dived too far underwater and you are swimming up to the surface because you need air. It like claws at your throat and weighs you down, and your suddenly trapped in this panic and urgency inside yourself, and holy that breath of air you take when you reach the surface, gives you so much relief.
But it’s awful to think, that this is what goes on in people like Alec and others minds and heads all the damn time.
Because you don’t know if you are ever going to have that relief of taking in that breath of air. Or if you are stuck with that feeling forever...
trapped inside of your own mind.
And that must be so painful.
you understand us
so well
yet our own parents dont
Ataraxia MSP
You will get through it.
Trust me.
Life will get better and one day you will have that relief.
Just don’t give up.❤️
I can’t even imagine what that would feel like; how awful.
Thinking of you guys ❤️ never give up

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

Thank you 😊
니니Bacon thx💘
Thank you!!
This song has been out for a week and I already know theatrics and sang it for karaoke twice. I need help 😂
Was listening to this the other day and thought my Bluetooth headphones were dying cuz the sound was only in one ear. Then it moved. My autistic butt loves this song! My depressed butt however, cries every time I hear it.
It feels good to know that these famous people have similar emotions, katlyn tarver, sasha sloan
Can we just appreciate the fact that he actually Submerged himself in water for this
Edit: Lol I never thought my comment would get this much attention
That’s not that hard but ok
ChocolateChipCookie he still put in the effort, He also got or made a Giant fish tank
¡Digital Foox! True
I would've died in that fish tank submerged x-x
Let's also not forgot that his hands were chained behind his back.

@@Moonlight-bz7tw you're welcome. 😉
João Alves copy and paste from google ?
my ocd is picking apart the typos i worry ab myself
Thanks
Just hearing his songs makes me feel like I'm not alone! After Chester killed himself like if he's not string enough what if I'm not. ❤ I'm trapped too but this is just our temporary home. We were born homesick we just gotta keep fighting.
Thanx , I g I won't kill myself
I never thought I could relate to a song as much as I did with mind is a prison
Alec you always surprise us with better and better song.. you are a great musician!!and I hope you Keep growing and become successful ..💚

Ty for da lyric
Man Alec and NF will be lit together
honestly though
True
Alec and twenty one pilots would be so amazing
alec and Nf ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ also twenty one pilots
OH MY FUCKING GOD YES PLS, GET THIS COMMENT TO THE TOP
You sing the words i cant express ❤
I almost cried listening to the song for the first time. 💞
It's scary to think how many people relate 😬
Sameeha Amal
its really hard to live with.
@@you_got_mail_06
I get u. I live with it everyday. lts haunting than a horror movie
its scarier, for me, to think about how many people _don't_ relate because it suggests they might not have a mind of their own.
I like how he's not trying to sell his song by selling his body. All he has to do is sing and people love him!
He never did bad things
Selling his body?
Yeah, like the girls who dress skimpy so they can get more likes. Or the men who flash their muscles so the girls will like them, even if their music sucks. Alec doesn't have to do that.
pretty much true
This song is my safe place. I can't escape my mind, but this song helps expresses the struggle. My anxiety beats me to the point of breakdowns. I love how Alec paints this beautiful metaphor, and the beats are amazing.
I can literally click on any of his songs and suddenly it’s my new favorite.
These lyrics are literally so relatable for me because I'm always stuck inside my head which always leads to me over thinking, overworrying, or stressing myself out in the end. When I'm not stressing myself out, I always catch myself daydreaming or reliving the past and then I need to remind myself that I'm in the present and need to ground myself.
Sooooo relatable, I'm doing that right now
literally me. all the time. i'm working on it, but it's really hard.
No one asked
Trip - literally shut the fuck up. why the fuck is that necessary.
That's exactly meee tooooo
ways to get out of your prison (even just for a little bit)
• listen to music
• run, bike, exercise till all you feel is the blood flowing through your veins (remember to keep that blood IN your veins)
• sleep (if you can)
• yell. just shout, scream, be loud. let out whatever's inside.
• do something engaging like colour something tiny or read a book to distract your mind.
• sing your favourite lyrics as loud as you can to drown out the other noise.
Well said
Well said indeed! Ima try this
Also if you really need to, never be afraid to tell someone and explain to them how you’re really feeling deep down inside.
I’m always willing to help people talk through their problems.
I know I already have that step down
Mayo Sauce thank you
Man, this song is one of my favorite songs because it’s: 1. Relatable as anything ( *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE* ) 2. Emotional and I love it AND 3. AHHHH ITS AMAZING OMG HES SO GOOD AT THIS EVERYTHING WORKS SO WELL
When I was at my lowest point, all I was about to think about was this song. Your music is full of universal truth.. #alecbenjamin #mindisaprison
My life is complete
Ikr
Our boys on trending
I just love his voice.... It makes all his songs so special
I relate to this song a little too much with my anxiety and overwhming thoughts.
ahhh number 44 on trending, guess he’s not our little secret anymore! but congratulations alec!!
I swear, when this song first came out I thought nothing could make it better or more meaningful, and then he dropped this music video and it just added so much to the message and the story
This man has so much freaking talent he deserves the whole world
I made this songs cover 😊
Omg! I Love you.
Omg yes I felt the same
@@lunatium1033 ❤️❤️❤️
i have never felt more heard in a song before. i cant help but feel lonely (having no friends at school) and this song captures the CONSTANT churning in my head. its inescapable and soul wrenching feeling like this and driving everyone away from you because noone wants to deal with a sad always absent person.
Alec somewhere in another corner of this world even I feel the same. We are all unified by the same feeling.
It is horrible to think that this feeling Alec is talking about happens everyday to persons. Including him
I know this feeling like you are trapped inside, can’t breath and start to panic like in a pool. But with feelings
Alec is the most original compositor and musician i know, i swear. He is writing about his emotions and real things. He is singing about what he feels, not what people want to hear
But, whatever, this is the kind of music i wanna hear. Let’s leave behind the past and get through it. A brighter future is coming
Today i saw Star Wars; The rise of Skywalker, and this is exactly what Rey did, followed her feelings
I don’t know if this is bothering a lot of people but take this to the top comments so everyone could see it 🙏
If you like Alec, you should listen to AJR
Krazy Karal YES!!!! I LOVE AJR! ❤️
Listen to NF, and you will have 2 musicians who speak their feelings off
Wtf you said everything!!!! The best commentary ever
I thought that ben and rey were siblings until they kissed
Alec, you are the best thing that happened to me in this decade.. your music is like my personal therapy session with the most beautiful lyrics ever..
Hit like so that he can see this comment and can see how much his music means to all of us
♥️
min yoooooonnnjii
@@jevairiaq 😂😂😂😂😂 I am becoming a better person with his music
Alec I know you probably won't read this but I want for you to know your songs have helped me through a lot and I appreciate what you do for all of your fans ...I only discovered you about 3 months ago but since then you have helped me with all my issues ..I get sad and I listen to your music there can be nothing wrong and I will listen to your music still ..Alec I just want you to know that appreciate
You and everything you do..
My tablet sent it before I as done
