Stockholm Syndrome Lyrics

Who's that shadow holding me hostage I've been here for days
Who's this whisper telling me that I'm never gonna get away
I know they'll be coming to find me soon
But I fear I'm getting used to being held by you

Baby look what you've done to...

    Basically, This is like, a fan fiction I read. Don't wanna do publicity here, So it's like, You DONT care who and what these boys are, and you kidnap them, for some kidnapping gang purposes...you know...and the guys, feel for you,in this they don't mention that you are beautiful, insecure, sexy, so they fell for you! NO! The way you treat them,even you MIGHT have some feelings, maybe, made them feel good.....so....they are just meaing that, although they are kidnapped, they are having a great company!

    It's basically about, how he gets kidnapped and he is slowly falling in love with the kidnapper.

    It's about Larry Stylinson and how Modest is keeping them hostage. They got "used" to it, and "don't" mind it anymore.

    In my opinion this song is trying to say how they are acting towards that girl in a way a man who is in love will but he never meant for it to lead to anything. Maybe they were put to date as a arranged relationship and along the way he fell for her but people will find out it was all fake at first but isn't now.

    in my opinion, I think it's about how he is stuck in this relationship but not physically. He has changed in this relationship and he is asking "who' that man, who's holding your hand and talking 'bout your eyes?" and they also say "used to sing about being free but now he's changed his mind." originally he wanted to leave, but maybe she didn't want him to, so blackmailed or did something to make him stay and even though he's changed as a person in this relationship he is somehow still drawn to her, but he knows that at some point his mates/family will find out what's been happening and help him get out of this situation and he'll get part of who he used to be back. x

    I think that those lyrics mean that there is a Woman that has captured them and they have been there for a while and that they know the police/anyone they know is coming to get them and bring them home. But they think they are getting used to staying with the kidnapper and being stuck with them.
