Independent
Unshackling Individuality: Sacred Reich's Anthem of Independence
Lyrics
Read my lips
Expressing a direct message, urging attention
I don't care what you say
Not concerned with others' opinions
I might listen
Open to hearing, but with personal autonomy
But I'll do it my own way
Insisting on following one's own path
Don't you see
Rejecting external pressures or influences
It don't mean nothing to me
Emphasizing personal indifference
When all's said and done
Reflecting on actions and decisions
I'll stand on my two feet
Asserting self-reliance and stability
Let me be
Requesting autonomy and freedom
I live by my own rules
Commitment to personal principles
Independent, independence
Reiterating the theme of independence
Can't you see
Stating the entitlement to personal choices
It's my right to choose
Emphasizing the right to choose
Independence, independent
Reaffirming the concept of independence
Once they tried to teach
Recalling attempts to impose external rules
Teach me all their rules
Resisting conformity to imposed regulations
I had my own ideas
Highlighting personal nonconformity
Didn't fit in, in their schools
Not fitting into traditional educational systems
Don't they see
Advocating individual thinking
That we all have a brain
Stressing the universality of intelligence
There to learn
Asserting the purpose of learning
Not to be whipped and tamed
Rejecting subjugation and control
Let me be
Reiterating the desire for autonomy
I live by my own rules
Commitment to personal rules and principles
Independent, independence
Reemphasizing the theme of independence
Can't you see
Affirming the right to individual choices
It's my right to choose
Reaffirming the concept of independence
Independence, independent
Restating the value of personal freedom
Read my lips
Repeating the call for attention
I don't care what you say
Reiterating indifference to others' opinions
I might listen
Repeating openness to listening, with self-determination
But I'll do it my own way
Reasserting commitment to individualism
Don't you see
Reiterating the insignificance of external influences
It don't mean nothing to me
Reemphasizing personal detachment
When all's said and done
Reflecting on personal resilience
I'll stand on my two feet
Reaffirming self-sufficiency
Let me be
Reiterating the plea for autonomy
I live by my own rules
Stating dedication to individual principles
Independent, independence
Reemphasizing the theme of independence
Can't you see
Affirming the right to personal choices
It's my right to choose
Reaffirming the concept of independence
Independence, independent
Concluding the assertion of personal freedom
