Freedom
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My secret to survive
To get a big kick out of live
I always go against the tide
I burn so fast but bright
And never see the red light
Don't keep your eyes on every step I take
I want to be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me
Despite of any consequence
Whatever makes no sense
I hold the whole world in my hands
And when I feel I'm out of sight
The chemical delights
Will lead me safely through the night
Don't tell me what I'm supposed to do
I am the only one who pulls me through
I want to be free
Why don't you let me be
I gotta be free
Oh, why can't you just see
I want to be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me
Don't steal the air from every breath I take
I don't give a shit for all the rules I break
I want to be free
Why don't you let me be
I gotta be free
Oh, why can't you just see
I want to be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me
De/Vision's "Freedom" is a song that expresses an individual's desire for independence, free will, and self-discovery. The lyrics reflect the internal struggle of a person who is determined to live life on their own terms and refuses to conform to societal norms. The opening lines “I need an overdose of life, My secret to survive” suggest the singer's desire for an intense and meaningful life experience. They go on to explain that the way they enjoy life is by going against the tide, living fast, and burning bright. The singer is aware that their lifestyle is unpredictable and dangerous, but they embrace it nonetheless, and they refuse to be told what to do.
The chorus is the singer's declaration of their need for freedom. They demand that others respect their choices, give them the space to live as they please, and not interfere with their life in any way. The lyrics "Don't keep your eyes on every step I take, Don't restrict me in every move I make" make it clear that the singer is determined to live life on their own terms, no matter the consequences. They want to be free from the boundaries and expectations set by society and have full control over their life experience.
The song reflects the band's style of combining electronic beats with vulnerable and introspective lyrics. It's a song that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the need to break free from the constraints of society and pursue their dreams. It's a reminder to live boldly, take risks, and embrace life with open arms.
