Be Free
Anti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All night out on the streets
I got the back of all my friends
We never want to go back home
Never want the night to end

CHORUS
Because we want to be... FREE!
We want to be...FREE!

BRIDGE
The schools that they send us to are prisons
The same can be said for their churches too
I don't want my mind or my arms tied in bondage
I don't want to be another cloned state tool
When I'm with my friends, when I'm at a show
that's when everything is OK




that's why I follow my heart every single day
Single day... EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anti's song Be Free reflect a desire to break free from societal norms and expectations in order to live a life of true freedom. The first verse describes a night spent out with friends, refusing to go back home and hoping the night never ends. This suggests a feeling of liberation and a desire to escape the constraints of daily life.


The chorus repeats the desire to be free, emphasizing this as a central theme of the song. The bridge goes further to suggest that schools and churches can also be oppressive structures that limit personal freedom. The lyrics suggest a rejection of conformity and a determination to maintain individuality and autonomy. The line "I don't want to be another cloned state tool" is particularly powerful, speaking to a desire to resist being subsumed into the prevailing culture.


Overall, the song is a call to reject the pressures to conform and instead to pursue a life of individual freedom and expression. The emphasis on friendship and following one's heart highlights the importance of personal connections and the need to stay true to oneself.

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange, but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So, baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free

I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

On the last day at my old job that I really hated, I played this song out loud. I felt like such a prisoner at that job, whenever Freddie sang "oh how i want to be free" i almost started crying because I was so thankful to be quitting. That song takes me back to that moment and im so greatful.
