Lockdown
Breaking Free: Unveiling Life's Lockdown Journey
Lyrics
Always told me to be this and that
Received advice to conform to certain expectations
Thought it was right, never had a doubt
Believed it was the right thing to do without questioning
On the surface it was all alright
Externally, everything seemed fine and acceptable
Deep inside all I wanted was to fight
Internally, harbored a desire for rebellion or self-expression
The happy faces that I keep all day
Maintained a facade of happiness throughout the day
Laughing with my friends that's all a play
Displayed joy with friends, possibly inauthentically
Living life but being in a cage
Felt constrained despite living a seemingly normal life
There is a reason to say
There is a yet-to-be-revealed reason for this feeling
Woah 16 years I've waited
Expresses the duration of a challenging period (16 years)
Woah now I'm free
Celebrates the newfound freedom after the mentioned period
Woah 16 years I've waited
Repeats the sentiment of waiting for 16 years
Woah now I'm free, from Lockdown
Reiterates the freedom achieved from a lockdown
Now I'm grown and this is what I do
Describes current actions or lifestyle as an adult
Showing me as me that's overdue
Embracing one's true self, suggesting overdue authenticity
Lost all those boys I was laughing with
Reflects on losing connections formed during the pretending phase
Pretending to be someone only made me sick
Acknowledges the negative impact of pretending on mental health
It does matter now I see it all
Realizes the significance of past experiences
I love you guys it was not your fault
Expresses gratitude and absolves friends of any blame
You gave me knowledge to start my life
Acknowledges the valuable knowledge received from others
Nothing you said was a lie
Confirms the truthfulness of the advice received
Woah 16 years I've waited
Repeats the waiting period of 16 years
Woah now I'm free
Revels in the current state of freedom
Woah 16 years I've waited
Reiterates the joy of being free after a long wait
Woah now I'm free, from Lockdown
Emphasizes the liberation from a lockdown
It's a Lockdown
Introduces the recurring theme of "Lockdown"
It's a Lockdown
Reiterates the concept of being in a lockdown
It's a Lockdown
Confirms and reinforces the idea of being in a lockdown
