Set Me Free
Jam And Spoon feat. Rea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up see the morning light
This is you
This is today
You try so hard to get it right
Can't help thinking somewhere you lost your way
When was the last time
You saw a smile?
There's a scream on every silent face you see
They're singing set me free
I got a friend
Who burns like a fire
Says there's only one thing you'll ever know
It's out there somewhere
Way past the sunset line
Way out on the open road
And me I'm always looking down
Down that road out of town
Each morning and night
You can see me
I'm singing set me free
Set me free
Goodnight auberge
I leave you now
You must sleep
While I work the day
Till I return
To dream of you




Through the night
And that free, freeway

Overall Meaning

"Set Me Free" by Jam And Spoon feat. Rea is a song that encourages listeners to look at their lives and ask themselves if they are truly happy where they are. The song starts by describing a new day and how it's up to each individual to make the most of it. The lyrics suggest that while we are all striving to get it right, sometimes we lose our way, and as a result, we stop smiling. The people around us are no different as their faces are silent but screaming for someone to set them free.


The chorus of the song emphasizes this point that everyone wants to be free from something that holds them back, whether it is a physical or emotional setback. The lyrics are asking someone to set them free and give them a chance to live their lives the way they want to. The song suggests that life is an open road, and the only way to find that freedom is to keep moving forward no matter what.


The song's final verse describes a traveler who is always looking down the road toward the sunset, searching for something that will set them free. The traveler is always singing, "Set me Free," every morning and night in hopes of finding what they're looking for. This song encapsulates the human experience of striving for something more but being unable to break free from the chains that keep them grounded.

Don't hold me back but don't leave

Empty rooms are surrounding me
With colours of light
It's too soon, too soon to see
If what we had tonight
Won't disappear, leaving me here in doubt
Won't disappear, leaving me no way out

All I know is if you go
You take a part of me
All I know is love controls
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free

Empty rooms are closing in on me
I can't find my way out
It's too hard, too hard to breathe
And still I want to shout
Don't leave me here, don't disappear tonight
Don't leave me here, don't take me colours of light

Cause all I know is if you go
You take a part of me
All I know is love controls
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free
Set me free
Won't you set me free
Set me free
Won't you set me free

Не держи меня, но и не уходи…


Я нахожусь в пустой квартире,
Наполненной радужным светом.
Слишком мало времени прошло, чтобы мы могли понять,
Исчезнет ли то, что было между нами сегодня ночью,
Оставив меня в сомнениях,
Не оставив мне выхода.


Всё, что я знаю, это, если ты уйдёшь,
Ты заберёшь с собой часть меня.
Всё, что я знаю, это то, что любовь контролирует.
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня.


На меня давит эта пустота,
И я не могу найти выход.
Трудно, слишком трудно дышать,
И, всё же, я хочу кричать.
Не оставляй меня здесь, не исчезай сегодня ночью.
Не оставляй меня здесь, не отнимай у меня радость жизни.


Потому что всё, что я знаю, это, если ты уйдёшь,
Ты заберёшь с собой часть меня.
Всё, что я знаю, это то, что любовь контролирует.

Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня,
Отпусти меня.

Don't hold me ,back but don't leave
Won't you set me free

Empty rooms are surrounding me, with colors of light
It's too soon, too soon to see, if what we had tonight
Won't disappear, leaving me here in doubt
Won't disappear, leaving me no way out

All I know is if you go you take a part of me
All I know is love controls
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free

Empty rooms are closing in on me, I can't find my way out
It's too hard, too hard to breathe and still I want to shout
Don't leave me here, don't disappear tonight
Don't leave me here, don't take my colors of light

Cause all I know is if you go you take a part of me
All I know is love controls
Won't you set me free
Won't you set me free

Set me free (set me free)
Won't you set me free
Set me free
Won't you set me free
Set me free
Won't you set me free

Бесподобный и прекрасный трек ! Очень приятный и удачный ! Я его ещё когда то услышал в далеком 2005-м году по радио и его много раз крутили)

@vonder7158

Не передать словами эмоции, которые получаешь при прослушивании. Ты просто растворяешься в музыке, хочется петь и летать
