Free Me
Breaking the Chains: Liberation in Ken Hensley's 'Free Me'
Lyrics
Free me
The repeated plea for freedom, possibly from a relationship or emotional entanglement represented as a spell.
Free me
-Why won't you free me
-Free me from your spell
-Come on and free me
-Why won't you free me
-Come on and free me
-Free me from your spell
-Why should I worry that you might not love
Expressing concern about not being loved, but acknowledging past loves.
You're not the only love that I've ever had
Recognizing that the person addressed is not the only love in the speaker's life.
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
Highlighting the lasting comfort of sweet memories despite the situation.
So why should I be feeling sad
Questioning the need for sadness when memories provide solace.
As far as I can tell
Reflecting on a relationship where the speaker was always secondary and not enough to make the other person fully commit.
You knew so well
-I was always at the end of the line
-I've loved you as much
-As any man can
-But not enough to make you mine
-So long easy rider
Bidding farewell to an "easy rider," suggesting a departure from a carefree or non-committal lifestyle.
I know I'll miss you for a while
-But sooner or later
-I know that I'll forget you
-And I tell you baby
-Free me
-Come on and free me
-Why won't you free me
-Free me from your spell
-Oh baby, free me
-Why won't you free me
-Come on and free me
-Free me from your spell
-We let a good love die
Describing the demise of a good love, acknowledging attempts to hold on, but realizing it won't work out, leading to the decision to move on.
We let it pass us by
-Though you tried to keep me hanging on
-But with all this doubt
-It'll never work out
-So tomorrow I'll be traveling on
-And saying so long easy rider
Bidding farewell to an "easy rider," suggesting a departure from a carefree or non-committal lifestyle.
I know I'll miss you for a while
-But sooner or later
-I know that I'll forget you
-Free me
The repeated plea for freedom, possibly from a relationship or emotional entanglement represented as a spell.
Oh yeah, come on and free me
-Why won't you free me
-Free me from your spell
-Oh yeah, Come on and free me
Expressing a plea for freedom more intensely, including a symbolic gesture of being on knees.
I'm on my knees, baby
-Free me
-Why won't you free me
-Free me from your spell
-Free me
The repeated plea for freedom, possibly from a relationship or emotional entanglement represented as a spell.
Oh babe, come on and free me
-Free me...
