Lyrics
There's a time to laugh; a time to cry
Expresses the duality of emotions, acknowledging both joy and sorrow in life.
I want to live the full spectrum of life
Desire to experience the entirety of life's range and diversity.
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
The potential for individual expression and creativity when given freedom.
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
A plea to avoid restricting or confining with superficial constraints.
If I am warped, then we can weave
If there are imperfections, there is an opportunity for growth and connection.
We make up the fabric of humanity
Humanity collectively contributes to the fabric of existence.
If we be free, we can make our designs
Freedom allows for diverse and meaningful creations.
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
Expresses skepticism about the suitability of conformity and restriction.
I don't know why we people need
Ponders the reasons behind humanity's inclination for limitations.
To make shackles we call normalcy
Critique of societal norms seen as restrictive and confining.
Choose other's boxes, we make them bleed
Choosing societal expectations can lead to harm and suffering.
Squeeze them into moulds so stubbornly
Forcing individuals into rigid molds can be stubborn and harmful.
We make their packages, we tie them tight
Describes the process of packaging and constraining individuals.
Until so much of them is out of sight
Consequences of limiting individuals until their true selves are obscured.
Oh, how many precious gifts we would see
The potential for unique and valuable contributions if allowed to flourish.
If we would only let them be free
Advocacy for embracing the inherent freedom of individuals.
I want to laugh, I want to cry
Reiteration of the desire for a full emotional experience in life.
I want to live the full spectrum of life
Reiteration of the desire to live life in its entirety.
If you leave me free, I might fit some design
Reiterates the potential for individual expression and creativity when given freedom.
Just please don't tie me up with coloured ribbon
A plea to avoid restricting or confining with superficial constraints (repeated).
If we be free, we can make our designs
Freedom allows for diverse and meaningful creations (repeated).
I don't believe we are fit to be tied
Expresses skepticism about the suitability of conformity and restriction (repeated).
Truth is the beauty that we find when we're real
Highlights the beauty found in authenticity and truth.
So please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
A plea to preserve truth and authenticity without artificial constraints.
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
A reiterated plea to avoid superficial constraints (repeated).
Please don't tie us up with coloured ribbon
A final plea to avoid superficial constraints (repeated).
