Release Me
Unveiling Desires: Royal Wood's Plea for Liberation in 'Release Me'
Lyrics
Oh say you will
Expression of hope or uncertainty regarding a decision
Or say you won’t
Presenting an alternative choice, whether to commit or not
Deliver peace, release me
Pleading for peace and freedom from a burden or conflict
Oh say you will
Reiteration of the request for a commitment
Or say you won’t
Restating the dichotomy of choices for resolution
Deliver peace, release me
Emphasizing the desire for peace and release from the situation
You’re drowning all the love we follow
Accusing the other person of undermining the love they share
Cursing every vow we made
Highlighting the negative impact on promises and commitments
But I can see the place where we sprang from
Reflecting on the origins of their relationship
I know we can be saved
Expressing belief in the possibility of saving the relationship
You offer this
Presenting an offer, possibly a solution or compromise
But handle that
Noticing a discrepancy between words and actions
Enough, enough, release me
Requesting liberation from the current state of affairs
These frantic lies
Referring to deceptive or agitated statements
To satisfy
Indicating the need for truth to satisfy the situation
I read your mind, release me, release me
Claiming insight into the other person's thoughts and pleading for release
Oh say you will
Repetition of the initial request for commitment
Or say you won’t
Reiterating the need to open up and provide resolution
Just open up, release me
Requesting release from the current situation
Oh say you will
Repeating the plea for commitment and release
Or say you won’t
Restating the call for openness and release
Just open up, release me, release me
Repetition emphasizing the desire for release
Oh you’re drowning all the love we follow
Reiteration of the accusation of undermining love
Cursing every vow we made
Repeating the impact on promises and commitments
But I can see the place where we sprang from
Restating the belief in the possibility of saving the relationship
I know we can be saved
Expressing confidence in the potential for reconciliation
Oh I know we can be saved
Reaffirmation of belief in the relationship's salvageability
Oh but I know that you’re afraid
Acknowledging the presence of fear in the other person
