Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from
If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared
I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No, I haven't been getting anywhere
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
Hey, girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay
We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No, we don't know what we're doing here
We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
The lyrics of Depeche Mode's "Free Love" speak to the struggles that we all face when it comes to love and relationships. The song acknowledges that some people may have been hiding from love, either consciously or subconsciously, as a way of protecting themselves. It also recognizes the pain that can come from past experiences, trauma, or heartbreak, which can make it difficult to trust or open oneself up to love again.
The chorus of the song offers a solution, which is to embrace the idea of "free love." This is a love that comes with no hidden catch, no strings attached, and no price to pay. It is a love that is given freely and received without reservation. The song suggests that free love is the antidote to the fear and pain that often accompany relationships.
The second verse of the song indicates that the singer himself has been running and searching for truth in love. This line speaks to the idea that love is a journey with no guaranteed outcome, and that sometimes the search itself can be exhausting and frustrating. However, the chorus once again reminds us that free love is the answer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Free Love" encourage us to let go of our fear and embrace the idea of love that is offered freely, without conditions or expectations. It is a call to put aside our complicated feelings and surrender to something pure and simple.
