The song seems to be sung from the viewpoint of someone in a relationship that feels like a hostage. They are bound to their lover and they want to do everything to make that person happy, even if they find it difficult to concentrate and be their own person.
Hostage Lyrics
[Intro]
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Keep me in the dark
I want to feel like a hostage
[Verse 1]
The night and the dark appreciate
The light and the heat we generate
My heart and my soul cooperate
I want you to be happy
I just want to give myself to it
I'll come when you call me a little bitch
It gets me when you whisper it
I want you to be happy
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Point it at my heart
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
[Verse 2]
The day and the night don't separate
This ache for you starts to dominate
I'm finding it hard to concentrate
I want you to be happy
I wait for you like a prisoner
Whatever it is that moves in us
It's starting to feel a lot like love
I want you to be happy
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Point it at my heart
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
[Chorus]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy

What did Nothing But Thieves say about "Hostage"?
“‘Hostage was one of the biggest experiments on the album. It’s got the most electronics on it, definitely tried to push the sound as far as we wanted to, at that point (Joe).”
“It explores slightly different avenues than the rest of the songs on the album. It’s built off a loop, and that was the in...
