Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That's not fucken graffity that's a sign
I will read it for you
It says this fucken is private property
No fucken trespassing
This means fucken you

All my days are numbered any way
You think you know what I pictured
But you mother fucken don't
You think you know
So long
As I have a head But
You can't and you won't
So at the corner of same decsisions and lines
It takes a life time
Don't you see that I don't want you all inside my mind now
What if I take it all fucking back
Would you like a mixed up track
Bet you would like
A little something that is real

So I
Got to stand up straight
Cuz I got more patience then hate
And it's still over
Just dont care anymore
If you can't see things my way
I wont see yours myself
What about me god?
In my life
I still won't care anymore
If your not there for me
I wont be there my self
I know I know I am right

All my days
Now!
Sinken
And Drinken
It's over
My whole world
I'm thinkin
You can't see inside me
I'm free and I will be that way
Tell
The day
I check myself off to bleed
And then see
It will never come agian
And you will see that
What if I take it all fuckin back
Would you like a mixed up track
You know I would like a little somthing that is real
So I got tah play it safe
I got more Taste then waste
And it's still over
Just dont care anymore
If you can't see things my way
I won't see yours myself
What about me god?
In my life?
I Still won't care anymore
If your not there for me
I will not be there my self
Because im trapped out
Dead bloated such scum
Maybe things will work themselves out in their own due time
Trapped out dead bloated such scum
Shouldn't have to compromise with my own god damn mind
Trapped out dead bloated scum
All these things are gonna change in this time
Unless I will not try
To be one
You think you fucked this shit up
You didn't you little whore
You think you fucked this shit up
You didn't you little whore
You think you fucked this shit up
You didn't you little whore
You think you fucked this shit




Why lie
Why go on

Overall Meaning

The song Independence by Flaw is a powerful reflection on the struggles of living in a society that values conformity over individuality. The lyrics describe a protagonist who feels trapped and misunderstood by the world around them, struggling to find their own voice and place in the world. The opening lines reveal a frustration with the strict rules and boundaries of society, suggesting that even simple acts of defiance such as graffiti can be seen as a symbol of personal independence. The chorus highlights a sense of isolation and desperation, as the singer's days are "numbered" and they feel as though they are losing control of their own life.


The second verse of the song takes a more introspective tone, questioning the way in which others perceive the singer's desires and motivations. The lines "you think you know what I pictured, but you mother fucken don't" suggest a frustration with the way in which society tends to impose its own expectations and narratives onto individuals, regardless of their own desires or experiences. The final lines of the song reveal a determination to hold onto one's own sense of self, even if it means feeling isolated or rejected by others. Overall, Independence is a powerful and nuanced reflection on the struggles of maintaining one's own sense of identity and independence in a conformist society.
