Free My Mind
Breaking Chains: Escaping the Cold Embrace of the City
Lyrics
This city's always been so cold
This city has always been emotionally distant and uninviting.
A chill that's hard to shake
There's a pervasive, hard-to-shake feeling of coldness.
You dream about the golden coast
The dream of a better life on the "golden coast" is enticing.
All fed up and got no reason to stay
Feeling fed up and lacking reasons to stay in the current situation.
Loading up a suitcase
Packing up belongings in preparation for leaving.
Running down the staircase
Quickly making a physical exit.
Throw yourself in his car
Getting into someone else's car to escape.
Don't look back cuz you know you won't get too far
Not dwelling on the past as it won't lead to progress.
Nothing left to retrace
There's no remaining path to retrace or revisit.
Now you've got a blank space
Creating a new beginning, represented by a blank space.
Fill it up with your dreams
Filling that blank space with personal dreams and aspirations.
Gotta get away 'cause you're breaking at the seams
The urgency to escape because of internal struggles.
Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Desire to move beyond obstacles, represented by fog and trees.
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Expressing a longing to experience the refreshing ocean breeze.
Had to get away to free my mind (for the first time)
First time breaking free to find mental liberation.
Starting over and leaving you behind!
Embarking on a new start and leaving the past behind.
Trading out a brand new life
Opting for a completely different lifestyle.
A higher price to pay
Acknowledging the higher cost associated with the decision.
You're pressing on the edge of a knife
Being on the edge, facing a risky situation.
Tread a path, a moth drawn to a flame?
Wondering if the attraction is worth the potential harm.
Now you're in the fast lane
Accelerating life, moving fast like a freight train.
Cruising like a freight train
Continuing the journey with determination.
Sitting back in his car
Remaining committed to the forward movement.
Never looked back, they'll say you've gone too far
No regrets about the past, even if others criticize.
Nothing left to retrace
No route to retrace, moving forward unapologetically.
Filling up the blank space
Filling the newfound space with aspirations and goals.
Write it out with your dreams
Expressing oneself freely through dreams and ambitions.
Never hold back since you've broken through the seams
Not holding back after overcoming personal struggles.
Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Yearning for a life beyond the current challenges.
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Craving the experience of the invigorating ocean breeze.
Had to get away to free my mind (for the first time)
Breaking free for the first time to find mental clarity.
Starting over and leaving you behind
Initiating a fresh start and leaving behind a past relationship.
Hearing other sides
Becoming aware of different perspectives and potential deception.
Catch you in a lie
Catching someone in a falsehood or inconsistency.
Don't blame me for second-guessing
Expressing hesitation and caution after being misled.
Take a chance this time
Encouraging taking a risk, a departure from the past.
Without you on my mind
Removing the influence of someone from thoughts and decisions.
Can't blame me to write the ending
Justifying the decision to end a relationship and move forward.
Just beyond the fog behind the trees
Yearning for a life beyond current obstacles and challenges.
Take me out to feel the ocean breeze
Desiring the refreshing experience of the ocean breeze.
Had to get away to free my mind (for the last time)
Breaking free from mental constraints for the last time.
Starting over and leaving you behind
Initiating a final fresh start, definitively leaving the past behind.
