Liberty
Discovering Self in the Beacon of Liberty's Call
Lyrics
It's a good thing, me being here
Expressing contentment or gratitude about being present in the current situation
Wading, finding on my own
Exploring, discovering independently
Cause you can make yourself anew anywhere
Encouraging self-reinvention anywhere one chooses
Then you find you're the one you can't let go
Realizing one's essential self and holding onto it
And I don't wanna be that girl
Resisting conforming to someone else's expectations
Go where you think I should
Refusing to conform to others' directions
See the things you've seen,
Experiencing what others have seen or gone through
Live within your dream
Living in alignment with someone else's aspirations
Baby I'd have left if it weren't so good
Staying in a situation because it's too enjoyable to leave
Like liberty's beacon in the distance
Symbolizing freedom or a guiding light in the distance
It could be a false omen after all
Raising doubt about the reliability of freedom or hope
Promises of future kings
Alluding to uncertain promises of grandeur
A space to try again
A chance or space to start anew
Finding yourself in her call
Discovering oneself through a beckoning call
Cause I don't wanna change like them
Resisting the pressure to change to fit in
Try to be tough like them
Attempting to be resilient or strong like others
Try to pretend I've seen it all
Feeling the need to pretend having experienced everything
And I'll see it all again
Expecting to re-experience everything
Cause it's hot as hell and smells like shit in here
Describing an uncomfortable or unpleasant environment
I just turn off and wait to arrive (let the rush pass me by)
Choosing to disconnect and wait for a better moment
And it will take the magic from it
Suggesting that waiting might diminish the magic of the moment
Till you see another soul dancing through hollowed eyes
Witnessing someone else's joyless existence
Come over here, plenty of action
Inviting someone to an environment with a lot of activity
You'll shine like gold when you're new
Assuring someone they'll shine brightly when new or fresh
The game that you love, your tried and true
Referring to a familiar, reliable activity or interest
Starting to move too fast for you
Implying that things might be moving too quickly
And every time I've held another
Recalling another's memory while with someone new
I see you
Seeing reminders of a significant person in others
Like liberty's beacon in the distance
Reiterating the concept of freedom or guidance in the distance
It could be a false omen after all
Repeating doubt about the reliability of freedom or hope
I think that I'll let it be
Deciding to let a situation be until it cannot be ignored
Until I can't refute it
Accepting a truth when unable to deny it anymore
And that's just the way it's gonna be for now
Accepting the current situation as it is, for the time being
A city takes me by storm, I want everyone and all their warmth
Feeling overwhelmed by a city's vibrancy and warmth
