Break the Shackles
Breaking Free: A Liberation Anthem from No Gods No Masters UK
Lyrics
I'm finally free but I'm stuck
I have achieved freedom, but I still feel constrained or troubled.
The tether is gone but it's tough
The connection or restraint is gone, but the situation remains challenging.
I still feel shackled
Despite being free, there's still a sense of being shackled or restricted.
I'm trying to run but you're quick
Efforts to escape are hindered; someone is pursuing or impeding progress.
You're calling my name I feel sick
Someone is causing discomfort by calling the person's name.
When will this end?
Expressing a desire for the challenging situation to come to an end.
Stay the fuck away from me
A strong directive to keep a distance from the speaker.
I won't go back to the life that I had
Refusing to return to a previous, undesirable life.
Leave me be
A plea to be left alone or not interfered with.
I don't want a thing to do with you
Expressing a strong disinterest in any association with the other person.
Get away
An emphatic command to stay away.
I have only just broken free
Recent freedom is acknowledged, but a sense of separation is emphasized.
Fuck yourself
An offensive directive, expressing strong disdain.
Let me live
An appeal for the freedom to live without interference.
Why am I still fucking trapped?
A rhetorical question expressing frustration about continued entrapment.
Leave me be
Reiterating the desire to be left alone, asserting independence.
I won't let you rule me
Declaring resistance against being controlled by the other person.
I keep to myself all alone
A preference for solitude, avoiding external influence.
You tell me that's wrong in a tone
Being criticized for the choice of isolation, causing emotional pain.
That pierces me
The criticism is piercing and deeply affecting.
I try to move on with my life
Attempting to move forward, but facing disapproval for the decision.
You tell me that's bad out of line
Being told that moving on is wrong or inappropriate.
What can I do?
A sense of helplessness in the face of criticism and disapproval.
Stay the fuck away from me
Reiteration of the need for distance from the person causing trouble.
I won't go back to the life that I had
Reaffirming the decision not to return to the past life.
Leave me be
A plea to be left alone, expressing a strong desire for independence.
I don't want a thing to do with you
Repeating the disinterest in any association with the other person.
Get away
An emphatic command to stay away and not interfere.
I have only just broken free
Recent freedom is acknowledged, with a strong desire to maintain it.
Fuck yourself
An offensive directive, expressing strong disdain, echoing a previous line.
Let me live
An appeal for the freedom to live without interference, echoing a previous line.
Why am I still fucking trapped?
A rhetorical question expressing continued frustration about entrapment.
Leave me be
Reiterating the plea to be left alone, asserting independence.
I won't let you rule me
Declaring ongoing resistance against being controlled by the other person.
That's enough
Expressing that a breaking point has been reached.
I'm breaking free
Affirming the achievement of freedom from constraints.
These chains won't hold me anymore
Asserting that the chains no longer have power over the speaker.
Get out of my way
A direct command for obstruction to move out of the way.
Now go
An additional directive to leave or step aside.
I am no longer the person I was
A declaration of personal transformation, shedding the past self.
I'm strong
A statement of newfound strength after breaking free.
Look at me now
An invitation to observe the speaker's current, empowered state.
I've grown to be strong
Highlighting personal growth and resilience.
I've cut you out.
A definitive statement of cutting ties with the negative influence.
