Church Of Rhythm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can be who I want to be, do what I want to do
I have found the truth and the truth has set me free
I can be who I want to be, do what I want to do
I have found the truth and the truth has set me free
Well I sought the world in my quest to satisfy
I never got anywhere just anesthesized
A freedom of soul and a peace of mind
(Repeat chorus)
Let the walls fall down to the joyful sound,
God's people unified, you know we're down,
One tribe, one vibe, unified in cause and mission
I will celebrate what I call my freedom of religion
(Repeat chorus)
"Set Me Free" is a song by Church of Rhythm that talks about the search for true fulfillment and liberation from a mundane and unsatisfactory life. The song starts with the chorus that discusses the singer's freedom to be whoever they want to be and do whatever they want to do now that they have found the truth. The truth referred to here is the newfound belief and practice that has set him apart from his old life, which only resulted in feeling numb and empty.
The next few verses of the song talk about the singer's pursuit of happiness and contentment in the world, which only led him to lose his senses and feel nothing at all. However, he finds himself drawn to the Church of Rhythm, a place of worship that is unconventional in many ways. Here he finds true spiritual freedom that's accompanied with peace of mind and a sense of belonging.
The song's bridge alludes to a celebration of the singer's newfound faith and the unity that comes with it. He talks about the walls that fall down to the joyful sound of God's people coming together in one tribe, one vibe, unified in cause and mission. He rejoices that he can celebrate his freedom of religion because he has found true liberation.
Overall, "Set Me Free" is a song that captures the essence of the Christian gospel, which talks about the freedom that comes with finding true faith and living life in unity with others who share the same faith.
