Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.
Awake
Freedom Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Momma's got a heartbreak
Girl I curse the day I met you
Never feeling lonely
When I had it this way
Roll out of bed and go
We're gonna go wherever it may take us
Awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go
Awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go again
Faces on the posters
Head is in the lampshade
Ever since the day I met you
No one's ever known
Least not ever this way
Take a step on the winding road
Living another day cause we can't stop
Feeling the tidal wave start to shake us
Awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go
Awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go again
We all started out now, didn't know where to go
We'll never know, we'll never know
We'll walk through the park to pave an easy road
I'll get you home, I'll get you home
We're gonna go forever, we're awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go
Awake
Here we go
Awake
Here we go, here we go again
The lyrics to Freedom Fry's "Awake" are about a person who is reflecting on a past relationship that has left a lasting impact on them. They are torn between the happiness they once felt with their partner and the heartbreak that the relationship ultimately led to. The chorus captures the conflicting emotions of feeling awake and ready to seize the day, while also feeling a sense of exhaustion and repetition in their actions.
The opening lines, "Sister's got a future / Momma's got a heartbreak / Girl I curse the day I met you" suggest that the singer's partner has caused pain not just for them, but for their family as well. The verse continues by highlighting the sense of freedom and independence the singer once felt before entering the relationship ("Never feeling lonely / When I had it this way / Roll out of bed and go"), before the chorus brings the listener back to the present day, where they are still grappling with the aftermath of the break-up.
The second verse touches on the sense of disorientation that can follow the end of a relationship ("Faces on the posters / Head is in the lampshade / Ever since the day I met you"), and for a moment the singer wonders if they will ever find their way again ("No one's ever known / Least not ever this way"). However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer promising to continue moving forward ("We're gonna go forever, we're awake / Here we go").
