In the hours that I've known
And of all of my woes
Are the cause to lay you low
I demand they turn to whole

Just set me free
Just set me free

As it takes it's hold
And it won't let you go
I'm reminded of the cold
And how it's taken so much from me
Are you worthy of being saved?
All your fears and insecurities

Just set me free
Just set me free
Just set me free

And there's nowhere to hide
And you're only just trying
Are there only just lies you hear?
While redemption seems far away
While I stumble through every day

Just set me free
Just set me free
Just set me free (set me free)
Just set me free

Just set me free
Keep running till we learn to find peace

Just set me free
Keep running till we learn to find peace

Just set me free
Keep running till we learn to find peace

Just set me free
Keep running till we learn to find peace

Just set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nathaniel Rateliff’s Redemption explore the theme of liberation and redemption from personal struggles and pain. The singer affirms that despite his current woes, he demands they turn to whole. He is in search of freedom and constantly repeats the phrase “just set me free”. The artist also questions the worthiness of being saved and whether one’s fears and insecurities play a role. The cold is referenced, perhaps as a metaphor for a sense of isolation, loss, and absence of warmth. As he stumbles through everyday life, he finds redemption seemingly far away.

The repetition of the chorus - Just set me free/keep running till we learn to find peace - can be interpreted in a couple of ways. The first could be that he is requesting his pain be taken away and for him to find peace. The second interpretation could be that he acknowledges one must keep on pushing through everything, even as we encounter obstacles and pain or while we stumble, to ultimately find redemption and peace.

Overall, the lyrics of Redemption are impactful and reflective. They touch on themes of pain, fear, redemption and the ongoing quest for personal liberation and inner peace.

Line by Line Meaning

In the hours that I've known
Despite only knowing you for a short time

And of all of my woes
Of all my troubles and sorrows

Are the cause to lay you low
They're responsible for bringing you down

I demand they turn to whole
I insist that they be resolved

Just set me free
Please release me

As it takes it's hold
As it takes control

And it won't let you go
And it won't release its grip on you

I'm reminded of the cold
I'm reminded of the bitterness

And how it's taken so much from me
And how it's caused me to lose so much

Are you worthy of being saved?
Do you deserve to be rescued?

All your fears and insecurities
All your worries and doubts

And there's nowhere to hide
And there's no place to conceal oneself

And you're only just trying
And you're only just making an effort

Are there only just lies you hear?
Are the only things you hear falsehoods?

While redemption seems far away
While being saved seems out of reach

While I stumble through every day
While I struggle through each day

Keep running till we learn to find peace
Keep going until we discover inner tranquility

Just set me free
Please release me

Just set me free (set me free)
Please release me (let me go)

Just set me free
Please release me

Keep running till we learn to find peace
Keep going until we discover inner tranquility

Just set me free
Please release me

Keep running till we learn to find peace
Keep going until we discover inner tranquility

Just set me free
Please release me

Keep running till we learn to find peace
Keep going until we discover inner tranquility

Just set me free
Please release me

And of all of my woes
Are the cause to lay you low

Would you set me free?
Just set me free
As it takes its hold
And it won't let you go
I'm reminded of the cold
And how it's taken so much from me
Are you worthy of being saved?
All your fears and insecurities
Just set me free
Just set me free
Just set me free
And there's nowhere to hide
And you're only just trying
Are there only just lies you hear?
While redemption seems far away
While I stumble through every day

Well hell, my demons have been with me for so long I could no longer tell if they are friend or foe, and part of me is sure I'll walk on down the road and still never truly know

Constant companions through it all, when laid low, or in times when I stood tall, unwanted, ubidden, and they 'mind me of memories I'd rather keep hidden

Left shoulder, right shoulder, there they perched as if on castle walls like the gargoyles of auld, and they whispered to me in sinister rote as if my future was foretold

They sat on gray stone ramparts built high and wide, and served to keep at bay the truth of my existence, so I resolved to to break through to the other side

To evade the falseness that had so long been made to feel real, to finally find what heart and soul sought, that had time and time once more fallen in silent appeal
~Ramparts~

I just got out of a 28 day rehabilitation program and this song was at the top of my recommended list here on youtube. I've been blasting this song all day and it has brought me to tears numerous times. It's exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you Nathaniel, for writing such a passionate, emotional plea for peace and understanding. This song will be a daily reminder to seek the best in myself and the world around me.

We all are looking for Redemption, for one reason or another, in our lives. Maybe we made a bad decision, maybe we fell in life, maybe we did something we aren’t proud of. Maybe we feel unworthy. Maybe we are struggling to find that worthiness. Maybe we feel we were dealt a bad hand in life. Whatever it may be, We can, will and do find that redemption. The easy part is finding it from others. The hardest part is finding it in ourselves. Trust me, once it is found in ourselves, that is where we start to find that Peace. We start to find our true selves. We start to find worthiness in ourselves. It is then, that our lives start to define us. It is then that we find purpose in ourselves. My Wish is, that you start to see Redemption coming within you and your life. You deserve it. I know you will find it. I believe in you. Believing in yourself, is the hardest part, however, that is where you will find your Redemption.

"Just set me free."
It's a plea to no one but the inner self, the all-seeing judge in each of us. The only one that can truly set us free. In all of our lives, all of the sorrows we endure, the mistakes we make, the regrets we have, the wrongs we can never right...they become the walls that imprison our hearts and minds, and the burdens that weigh heavy in sleepless hours. We hold on to them to hold ourselves accountable and responsible, but also out of guilt, and out of fear that we need to keep what's inside locked away to shield the world.
"Keep running 'til we learn to find peace."
It's only after running and trying to escape those walls for some time that we realize they follow us everywhere. And after that it becomes obvious that they follow us because that prison is a part of us. And only once we see that prison for the fabrication that it is do we recognize that we created it ourselves long ago, and have always had the freedom we so long for right in front of us.

Why wud a parent be okay with a child of theirs claiming to be opposite sex?? That's a mental condition that can be helped, there's many ppl who believe in that, I seen documentary of adult blaming parents for letting them go thru with surgery as young kid smh this stuff just doesn't make sense smh

The lyrics for "Redemption" were so kind, gentle and powerful. I found myself tearful and immediately typed the subtitle on my computer, "Heartistry & Healing.....The Story of Redemption!" That song has become my anthem for writing and an incredible subtitle for my life. Thank you, Krista

I was not expecting the emotional outburst my insides would purge .This sound,the words ,the vunerability.I would recommend him to anybody who would take a moment to soak it up.
On SNL of all shows,I was moved.Bawling like a baby and wanting to pray.I remember NOTHING it seems.Some months went by and I saw his name"Oh my God,I know this guy is awesome.dont remember anything but his name triggered the feelings he brought out of me.So,Thank you guys.Youre touching a million with this song!Lynda

The way his voice and music elicits such an emotional response from people is unparalleled!! However, when The Night Sweats are playing with him- it's a whole different amazing vibe!! 😍♥️

Palmer got me here... The ending (when Eddie was arrested) of that movie coupled with this song is a recipe for being emotional.

What a song

Redemption" is the 1st thing I've ever commented on l- online ever... because... this song ROCKED my emotions first listen.... I'm a retired rock singer that's always had a huge attachment to songs that can genuinely reach the human heart... but NEVER have I heard a song that hit me so perfectly-- a beautiful build up to an explosive- on point refrain...split me in half..so well done

In quiet moments, I have to ask myself - when people sit in certain judgement of others - why do they get to choose? I'll put this movie on my view list and I bet I learn how to be a better person...Nathan's an under-appreciated singer and JTs an under-appreciated actor!

@bcar2303

I do not choose for others. But i will not let ANYONE else choose for my child.

@rdwngdblkbrd629

When other people sit in Judgement, it is a reflection of themselves, that they are fronted with, that they are unable to change within, so, they deflect it outward, towards others. It’s easier to say others are screwed up, than it is to admit, it is themself that is screwed up.

Then he’s on SNL this weekend. I love this guy. I haven’t heard a voice like this in a long time. Can’t wait til covid crap is done so I can see him live!!

A few years ago I was flying out of PDX to go to my grandmother's funeral. Popped into a restaurant/bar for breakfast and sat down amongst a group that was hanging out there. I had no idea who they were, just hung out, talked, and shared food with genuine, down-to-earth, good fun people. Turns out it was Nathaniel Rateliff's band, and I've been a big fan ever since. This latest piece is phenomenal. Anyone new should check out Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats; absolute killer fun!

Just found myself an all new favorite country singer. Your voice brings me to tears; I could just cruise to your voice on one long road trip and feel right at home with your voice.

We’re all a little bit broken, a little bit sad, a little bit bad. But we all need love and to forgive ourselves.
Get on the right path, fall off, get back on. Keep going. You’re doing the best you can. That’s fine. ❤

En écoutant cette chanson à chaque fois, je repense à ma dernière rupture et la situation tragique de mon père… les deux au même moment 😔 après les problèmes juridiques de mon père qui l’on conduit en prison, sur le même coup ma petite amie décide de me lâcher brutalement. Littéralement dépressif, j’ai dû surmonter toutes ces peines solitairement, chaque jour de la vie. Dieu merci tout va mieux qu’hier maintenant 🙏🏾

Thank you for the comfort of this song, it resonates deeply within as the mother of an angel child that loved the Lord deeply but lost his fight with addiction.

@lucian2dbone670

Oh my goodness. This is amazing. Cant stop listening. Just saw him on Saturday night live bout 8 minutes ago and I was captivated watching him perform this song. I couldnt tear my eyes away from him. I had to come find it and I'm so glad I did. This powerhouse song is going into heavy rotation at my house effective immediately. I love music and am always listening out for those songs that make my soul feel like it's been on a journey. This song does that.
