Tess Anderson’s "Prison" is a powerful song about breaking free from the limits we create for ourselves. What begins with the feeling of a ballad gradually grows into a more forceful full-band release, matching the emotional strength behind Anderson’s story. The song explores the different ways we can become trapped by our own thoughts, fears, choices, and the expectations of others.
The artist’s writing feels especially honest because it comes from a deeply personal place. After becoming seriously ill and spending two months bedridden, she was forced to slow down and confront the reality of her life. She realized she had been making choices to please others while repeatedly letting herself down.
