Free
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Struggle for Freedom in 'Free' by WAS SACRED
Lyrics
Chained here for years
Feeling confined and restricted for an extended period.
Tears have gone dry
Emotional pain has reached a point where tears no longer flow.
Only one thing to ask
Possessing only one question:
Do you think you're free
Questioning one's sense of freedom and autonomy.
All this withering
Experiencing decay and decline.
And the pattering of time
The constant ticking away of time.
Are wearing me down
Feeling worn down by life's challenges.
I'm still not a better man
Despite challenges, personal improvement has not been achieved.
Stare in the mirror
Looking at oneself in the mirror.
Try and understand
Attempting to comprehend one's own identity.
This image is fading
The self-image is diminishing.
Only eyes will remain
Only the eyes will remain as a lasting aspect of identity.
Romanticize me
Being idealized or portrayed in a romanticized way by others.
To suit your needs
Adapting oneself to fulfill others' expectations.
But suffer yourself
Advocating self-suffering before imposing on others.
Before you come and bury me
Requesting introspection before judging or burying the speaker.
Lately I've been a little bit stranger
Expressing recent feelings of being different or distant.
I'll be the one to show the madness in you
Claiming to reveal the madness within someone else.
Lately this world's been a little stranger
Describing the world as increasingly unfamiliar or hostile.
Set it on fire if you have it in you
Encouraging radical action if one has the courage.
See these faces
Observing indifferent faces passing by.
Pass you by
Indicating the lack of need for connection in their eyes.
Their eyes don't need you
People's eyes not requiring the speaker.
There's enough on their minds
Individuals preoccupied with their own concerns.
Time will smother the worries of today
Believing time will alleviate today's worries.
So see the other side
Suggesting exploring an alternative perspective.
If you want to be free
Offering a path to freedom through self-reflection.
Stare in the mirror
Reiterating the importance of looking at oneself.
Try and understand
Emphasizing the need for self-understanding.
This image is fading
Repeating the theme of a fading self-image.
Only eyes will remain
Highlighting the permanence of only the eyes.
Romanticize me
Warning against romanticizing the speaker for personal gain.
To suit your needs
Encouraging self-endurance before imposing on others.
But suffer yourself
Reiterating the importance of personal suffering.
Before you come and bury me
Issuing a plea for understanding and empathy.
Lately I've been a little bit stranger
Reaffirming recent feelings of being different.
I'll be the one to show the madness in you
Restating the intention to reveal hidden aspects of others.
Lately this world's been a little stranger
Echoing the sentiment of a strange and challenging world.
Set it on fire if you have it in you
Challenging individuals to take drastic action if possible.
Lately I've been a little bit stranger
Reiterating recent feelings of personal strangeness.
I'll be the one to show the madness in you
Reaffirming the commitment to exposing others' madness.
Lately this world's been a little stranger
Repeating the notion of a world becoming more unfamiliar.
Set it on fire if you have it in you
Encouraging transformative action if one possesses the will.
