I Wanna Be Free
Hellraiser Lyrics

The lyrics of Hellraiser's song "I Wanna Be Free" express the feelings of a person who has been locked up in jail for so many years that they have lost all hope of ever being released. The chains on their hands prevent them from moving and the walls are so thick that the sun cannot penetrate them. The presence of the watchdogs watching their every move makes it impossible for them to even think of escaping. The lyrics expertly capture the feeling of despair and confinement that a prisoner must be feeling in such a situation.

Despite the hopelessness of their situation, the singer of the song still holds on to a glimmer of hope and a burning desire for freedom. They want to break free from the chains that bind them and escape from their confinement. The desire for freedom is so strong that it makes them bleed and feel low but they hold on to their conviction that they need to run away to be truly free.

The lyrics to "I Wanna Be Free" speak to the human desire for freedom and the concept of confinement, whether it be physical, emotional or mental. The song shines a light on the fact that confinement is a fundamental form of oppression that needs to be eradicated to give every individual the opportunity to experience freedom, to live free and take charge of their own lives.
