Liberation
Dave Stewart & Thomas Lindsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With that look in your eyes
Don't stare at me
Like I'm the one that needs to realize
Dark days are coming
To the one breeding fear
I see you running
Better watch where you steer
Liberations coming for you and me
No more fear, prosperity
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming for you and me
LIBERATION
No more fear, prosperity
Liberations coming
Liberations coming
The pain that I feel
Has been too long ignored
The pain that I feel
Makes me wonder what I'm working for
Stars burn their brightest
before they go out
I'm burning brighter
from doing without
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming for you and me
No more fear, prosperity
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming for you and me
No more fear, prosperity
Liberations coming
Liberations coming
The world can't go on
In the way it is today
The world can't go on
In this cold self-obsessed way
People hide their faces
Behind walls of zero and one
True life outside the box
Is rarely what we're shown
Twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
Twinkle little star
I don't know if I'll make it far
Twinkle little star
Twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
Twinkle little star
Twinkle little star
I don't know if I'll make it far
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming for you and me
No more fear, prosperity
Liberations coming to the land of the free
Liberations coming to your broken home
Liberations coming to your joy that's gone
Liberations coming to the pain your feel
Liberations in your force of will
The social media world has lost its way
Fragments of the truth chase joy away
Blinded by the life that isn't real
Social media shows life
But I've watched it kill
I've watched it kill
I've watched it kill
The lyrics to "Liberation" by Dave Stewart & Thomas Lindsey convey a powerful message of hope and change. The song begins with a plea to not be judged or looked at with condescension. It reflects the sentiment of the singer being weary of being scrutinized and misunderstood. The line "Dark days are coming, to the one breeding fear" implies the impending challenges and difficulties faced by those who perpetuate fear and division.
The chorus, "Liberations coming to the land of the free, Liberations coming for you and me, No more fear, prosperity," highlights the arrival of liberation and the promise of a better future. It speaks to the desire for freedom and the end of fear, paving the way for prosperity. The repetition of this chorus emphasizes the importance and inevitability of liberation.
The second verse delves into personal pain that has been long ignored. It expresses the singer's contemplation of the purpose of their efforts and the burden of carrying this pain. The reference to stars burning bright before they go out represents the singer's determination to shine brighter in the face of adversity, despite enduring hardships.
The bridge of the song takes a broader perspective on the current state of the world. It criticizes the self-obsessed and disconnected nature of society, where people hide behind digital walls and fail to experience genuine human connection. The mention of "true life outside the box" suggests that what is portrayed online does not match reality.
The closing lines, "Social media shows life, but I've watched it kill" express the disillusionment and negative impact of social media on society. It suggests that the excessive reliance on social media and the superficiality it promotes have detrimental effects on individuals and their ability to experience true joy and fulfillment.
Overall, "Liberation" speaks to the need for change, the pursuit of freedom from fear, and the desire for a better, more authentic existence.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't stare at me
Please refrain from staring at me
With that look in your eyes
With the expression you have on your face
Like I'm the one that needs to realize
As if it is my responsibility to understand
Dark days are coming
Difficult times lie ahead
To the one breeding fear
To those instilling fear
I see you running
I observe you fleeing
Better watch where you steer
It would be wise to be cautious about your direction
Liberations coming to the land of the free
The arrival of liberation in the country that claims freedom
Liberations coming for you and me
Liberation is approaching for both of us
No more fear, prosperity
Fear will be eliminated, and prosperity will follow
Liberations coming to your broken home
Liberation is arriving at your troubled residence
Liberations coming to your joy that's gone
Liberation is coming to restore your lost happiness
Liberations coming to the pain you feel
Liberation is coming to alleviate the pain you experience
Liberations in your force of will
The liberation of your strong determination
The pain that I feel
The emotional suffering that I endure
Has been too long ignored
Has been neglected for an extended period
Makes me wonder what I'm working for
Causes me to question the purpose of my efforts
Stars burn their brightest
Stars shine most intensely
Before they go out
Before they extinguish
I'm burning brighter
I am glowing more intensely
from doing without
as a result of lacking something
The world can't go on
The world cannot continue
In the way it is today
In its current state
In this cold self-obsessed way
In this detached and self-centered manner
People hide their faces
Individuals conceal their true selves
Behind walls of zero and one
Using digital barriers and online personas
True life outside the box
Authentic experiences beyond the norm
Is rarely what we're shown
Is seldom depicted to us
Twinkle little star
Shine, small celestial object
How I wonder where you are
I am curious about your whereabouts
I don't know if I'll make it far
I am uncertain if I will achieve significant progress
The social media world has lost its way
The realm of social media has deviated from its intended course
Fragments of the truth chase joy away
Incomplete truths prevent happiness from flourishing
Blinded by the life that isn't real
Unable to see through an illusionary existence
Social media shows life
Social media portrays existence
But I've watched it kill
However, I have witnessed it cause harm
