Liberation
Backlash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I reach my hands for desire
something makes my senses glow
a treasure I admire
you're my beatiful
twisted lie
the mental drug in me
that makes me fly
All the things I've done are caused by you
a make-believe that thakes me higher
I'm dependent on the words you breathe
they have set my mind on fire
In this state of liberations
where it always seems to shine
something blinds my field of view
my imaginary design
but without your love
I left outdoors
I am face with guilt
and remorse
All the things I've done are caused by you
a make-believe that thakes me higher
I'm dependent on the words you breathe
they have set my mind on fire
The lyrics of "Liberation" by Backlash describe the state of mental dependence that the singer feels towards a person or thing that is their "beautiful twisted lie." The singer reaches out for "desire," which makes their senses "glow," and it becomes clear that this "mental drug" is nothing but an illusion, a "make-believe" that takes them higher. The singer admits that everything they have done is caused by this dependence on this lie, and the words that they breathe have set their mind on fire.
The lyrics continue, as the singer tries to describe the feeling of liberation, "where it always seems to shine," but something blinds their "field of view" with "imaginary design." Without this love, the singer is left outdoors with guilt and remorse, knowing that they have been consumed by this lie. The song ultimately ends on a note of uncertainty, as the singer's dependence on this mental drug reveals the cycle of addiction that they cannot escape from.
