Listen
Free Design Lyrics

The song "Listen" by Free Design is a masterpiece that talks about a person's inner turmoil and the feeling of being estranged from oneself. The song uses metaphors to describe how one feels when they can't recognize the person inside them. In the first verse, the singer discusses how they can hear and feel something inside them, but they can't recognize who it is. The person is hiding behind a facade, hiding their true self so that they won't be afraid of it. The singer ends the first verse by expressing their desire to have the person inside them close to them always.

In the second verse, the singer is describing the feeling of being faithful to one's self-imposed laws, but still feeling distant from their own true self. The singer then implores the listener to listen to their heart because it doesn't have that feeling of distancing from oneself. The singer once again expresses their desire to be close to the person inside them at all times. Overall, the song is about how we can so easily get caught up in being someone that we're not, but our hearts will always lead us back to the person that we truly are.
