Give Me Freedom
Embrace Freedom: Cypora Perr's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Free, free, free, free
Repetition of "free" emphasizes the desire for freedom.
I've seen all the boxes in white picket lines
Reference to societal expectations represented by "white picket lines."
But it's never been the place for me
Expresses a disconnect from conformist societal norms.
Seen you bend over backwards to just fit in
Observation of people compromising themselves to fit in.
But is that even where you wanna be?
Questioning whether fitting in aligns with personal desires.
I look at the news, it's all confused
News is perplexing, causing racing thoughts.
Get racing thoughts instead
Struggling to find clarity amid confusing information.
'Cause it turns out the thought
Realization that a thought believed to be original is from external sources.
That I thought was mine
Questioning the authenticity of personal thoughts.
Was just something that I read
Highlighting the influence of external information.
Freedom
Repeated desire for freedom expressed through a chorus.
Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-I just wanna be free
-Oh whoa
-Freedom
-Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-Oh, just wanna be free
-So give me the canvas, give me the brush
Asking for tools to express individuality without conforming.
See if you like it or if it's too much
-Give me the crayons 'cause I'll be fine
-I never learned how to color in the lines
-Freedom
Reiteration of the desire for freedom through the chorus.
Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-I just wanna be free
-Oh whoa
-Freedom
-Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-Oh, just wanna be free
-Freedom
-Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-I just wanna be free
-Oh whoa
-Freedom
-Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-Oh, just wanna be free
-And speaking of free, isn't it bizarre
Commentary on contradictory human behavior regarding freedom.
How we cling so tight to those jail bars
-And don't want anyone to tell us
-What to do or say
-But then we look to each other
-And follow anyway
-And all I want is intellectual clarity
Expressing a desire for intellectual clarity as a means to freedom.
Because I just wanna be free
-I've seen what I've seen, I know what I know
Observation of different forms of slavery to money, emotions, and mental patterns.
And here's what I believe
-One's a slave to the money, another to his heart
-And another to the mind's disease
-I've seen what I've seen, I know what I know
Reaffirmation of personal beliefs in the liberating power of truth.
And here's what I believe
-The truth is the truth, and the truth to me
-Is that the truth will set you free
-Freedom
Final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the persistent longing for freedom.
Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-I just wanna be free
-Oh whoa
-Freedom
-Give me freedom
-I just want freedom
-Oh, just wanna be free
-I wanna be free
-Do you wanna be free
-I wanna be free
-Do you wanna be free
-I wanna be free
-Do you wanna be free
-I wanna be free
