Freedom
Unraveling Bonds: The Price of Seeking Freedom in Darby Sabin's Melody
Lyrics
Anger in the eyes of two
Observing anger in the eyes of two individuals
Who know our differences are
Acknowledging that their differences are significant
Too much to overcome
Recognizing the difficulty in overcoming these differences
There's no resolving our fights
Accepting that their conflicts cannot be resolved
Can't make nice so
Unable to reconcile, leading to one person leaving
Instead of reviving us
Instead of healing the relationship, the person departs abruptly
You just up and run
Noting a pattern of repeated departures
We've done this plenty of times before
Referencing past instances of back-and-forth conflicts
Back and forth we divide but
Describing the cyclical nature of their division
We fall right back together
Despite separation, they always come back together
God forbid we try anymore
Expressing reluctance to make further attempts
We're all out of reasons to…
Reaching a point where reasons to continue are depleted
You keep leaving to find your freedom
Noticing a recurrent pattern of leaving in search of freedom
Or something better than how I hold you
Suggesting dissatisfaction with how the person is held
Keep on looking around for freedom
Continuing the quest for freedom
I'm sure you'll figure out
Anticipating a realization that freedom isn't as expected
It's not everything you thought it would be
Highlighting the realization that freedom has its limitations
'Cause freedom isn't free
Stating that freedom comes at a cost
Freedom isn't free
Reiterating that freedom isn't without consequences
Every time you give up and get out
When giving up, the person returns to the relationship
You ride the waves right on back
Describing a cycle of separation and reunion
We reconnect in disguise as we hide
Reconnecting in disguise to hide the damage caused
The damage we took from each other
Referring to the harm inflicted during their interactions
God forbid you come back and attach
Expressing concern about the person's return and subsequent departure
Just to flee and repeat
Noting the repetition of the entire cycle
The whole cycle over again
Highlighting the ongoing and repetitive nature of the relationship
You keep leaving to find your freedom
Reiterating the theme of leaving in search of freedom
Or something better than how I hold you
Expressing dissatisfaction with how the person is held
Keep on looking around for freedom
Continuing the quest for freedom
I'm sure you'll figure out
Anticipating a realization about the limitations of freedom
It's not everything you thought it would be
Stating that freedom isn't as fulfilling as expected
And freedom isn't free
Reiterating the idea that freedom has its costs
You know freedom isn't free
Emphasizing that freedom comes with consequences
All you found was the cost of trading
Highlighting the discovery of the price paid for seeking alternatives
All the love I gave
Expressing the cost of losing love for the pursuit of something else
For the idea of something else
Trading the love given for the idea of something different
You lost me
Conveying the irreversible loss of the speaker
I can't save you again
Accepting the inability to rescue the person once again
When you keep leaving to find your freedom
Reiterating the theme of leaving in search of freedom
Or something better than how I hold you
Expressing dissatisfaction with how the person is held
Keep on looking around for freedom
Continuing the quest for freedom
I'm sure you'll figure out
Anticipating a realization about the limitations of freedom
It's not everything you thought it would be
Stating that freedom isn't as fulfilling as expected
'Cause freedom isn't free
Reiterating the idea that freedom has its costs
You know freedom isn't free
Emphasizing that freedom comes with consequences
