Weightless
Eklo Jawster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Well there's miles of beach
And wind in the trees
And a fire that's rising
But warmth's out of reach
The birds they don't sing here
It's hard to find your peace
And everybody's watching
And your life's on a leash
I wanna be weightless
...
Let my mind drift away
And find myself in a better place
...
A better place
...
I wanna put all my troubles into a freefall
Let my tired body rest
Tell her the strength will stay
To find a better way
To let go of all the weight
...
To let go of all the weight
...
I don't know why I feel this way
Everything should feel right
Starving for that big, hot sun
Just can't find the light
The days, they keep on passing
And I can't catch my train
I feel like a passenger whose ride never came
I wanna be free
I wanna be weightless
Turn it off, take it slow
I'm always in a hurry with nowhere to go
I wanna be careless
Let my mind drift away
And find myself in a better place
...
I wanna be weightless
...
Turn it off, take it slow
I'm always in a hurry with nowhere to go
I wanna be careless
Let my mind drift away
And find myself in a better place
...
A better place
A better place
...
Turn it off, take it slow
I'm always in a hurry with nowhere to go
I wanna be careless
Let my mind drift away
And find myself in a better place
And let go of all the weight
...
I wanna be free
...
I wanna be weightless
Let go of all the weight
...
I wanna be free




I wanna be- Wa- Wanna be- Wanna be free
I wanna be free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eklo Jawster's "Weightless" describe a desire to escape the pressures and limitations of daily life and find peace and freedom. The opening lines set the scene with imagery of miles of beach and wind in the trees, but a sense of unease is conveyed with the mention of a rising fire that cannot provide warmth. The lack of singing birds and difficulty in finding peace further emphasize the struggle to escape the constraints of society. The longing to be weightless and find a better place is expressed as a need to let go of all the troubles and burdens that are weighing down the singer, and to allow the mind to drift away and find a place of carelessness and freedom.


The second verse continues the theme of feeling lost and stuck, with the singer unable to find the light and a sense of direction in life. The mention of missing one's ride suggests a feeling of being left behind or not being able to keep up with others. The repetition of the desire to be weightless and to let go of all the weight reinforces the central theme of the song. The final verse brings the song full circle, repeating the desire to be free and weightless, and adding the added emphasis of "wanna be free" repeated several times.


The slow tempo and repetitive nature of the lyrics reinforce the dreamlike state and the need to slow down and escape the busyness of life. The emotion conveyed through the lyrics is one of longing for something more, while simultaneously feeling trapped and weighed down. Overall, "Weightless" is a powerful expression of the struggle to find peace and freedom in a society that often makes it difficult to do so.
