Freeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's all inside my head and you wish you only knew
of it under your spell these feelings never seemed
the same until this moment here with you in these wounds
a knife along your throat it's life that's worth it
all the blood that runs so cold in these wounds time
time and time again these moments shall remain these
moments shared with you shall remain as you my informer
worries all calm down and still fall through it's all
in these moments here with you
In these lyrics, Freeway reflects on the peril and turbulence of his environment. He speaks to the potential dangers he may encounter that would result in his death, and how his death would serve as a testimony to those who are left behind. He portrays himself as someone who is capable of keeping secrets and withholding information that could be detrimental to his safety. He alludes to a relationship where he felt trapped by someone's spell, however in that moment, he felt as though he was experiencing love in its purest form. In the midst of all the chaos, they shared a connection that will remain with them forever, and he values these memories just as much as he values his fleeting life.
The lyrics also evoke a sense of vulnerability and fear. Despite the risks he is willing to take to survive in his environment, there is a certain level of danger that is always present. It showcases how individuals have to adapt to their surroundings and make decisions that may appear irrational to an outsider. Additionally, it emphasizes how genuine connections can provide comfort during times of distress.
