Set Me Free
Jam and Spoon feat. Rea Garvey (Reamonn) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "Set Me Free" by Jam and Spoon feat. Rea Garvey (Reamonn) starts with waking up to the morning light indicating a new day, a new opportunity to make things right. The song is about trying to find oneself in the midst of life's challenges and difficulties. The singer urges the listener to take a moment and remember the last time they saw a smile as there seems to be a profound sadness on the faces of everyone they see. The lyric "They're singing, set me free" suggests that everyone is seeking freedom, liberation, and peace from anxiety and discontentment.
The chorus talks about finding freedom and escaping from the monotony of life, urging the listener to break free from their self-imposed shackles. The songwriters suggest that freedom can be found on the open road, past the sunset line, and that one should not be afraid to venture beyond the familiar. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing for a better life, where the singer is always looking ahead, down the road out of town, each morning and night, and the destination remains elusive.

Way past the sunset line
Beyond the limits and restrictions of our current reality
Way out on the open road
The journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment is long and winding
And me I'm always looking down
I am constantly searching for answers and guidance
Down that road out of town
The path towards true happiness and satisfaction may take us away from our comfort zones and familiar surroundings
Each morning and night
Every day, without fail
You can see me
I am visible and present
I'm singing set me free
Like others, I too am searching for my own liberation and release
Set me free
Grant me the freedom to be who I truly am and pursue my passions and dreams
Goodnight auberge
Farewell to the place where I stayed and rested
I leave you now
It's time for me to move on and continue my personal journey
You must sleep
It's time for you to rest and rejuvenate for the new day ahead
While I work the day
I'll continue to strive and work towards my goals and aspirations
Till I return
I will come back to this place eventually
To dream of you
To think of and reminisce about my time here
Through the night
Throughout the long hours of darkness
And that free, freeway
The open road and the freedom it represents

@rasstriga
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
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 удерживай меня, но и не уходи.
Пустые комнаты окружают меня
С цветами света
Еще слишком рано, слишком рано, чтобы увидеть это.
Если бы то, что у нас было сегодня вечером
Не исчезнет, оставив меня здесь в сомнениях.
Не исчезнет, не оставив мне выхода.
Все что я знаю это если ты уйдешь
Ты забираешь часть меня.
Все, что я знаю, - это любовь.
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Пустые комнаты приближаются ко мне.
Я не могу найти свой выход
Это слишком тяжело, слишком тяжело дышать.
И все же мне хочется кричать
Не оставляй меня здесь, не исчезай сегодня ночью.
Не оставляй меня здесь, не забирай меня цвета света.
Потому что все, что я знаю, это если ты уйдешь.
Ты забираешь часть меня.
Все, что я знаю, - это любовь.
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Освободить меня
Разве ты не освободишь меня?
Освободить меня
Разве ты не освободишь меня?

@GRAFF771
it seems that everyone heard it on the radio and found it years later, and I'm no exception :)
@micha_el_
I actually remember recording this one to a cassette by accident after the radio host announced another song i I wanted to capture. I was immediately in love with the song but never knew its name until google became capable enough😂

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)
@Gerchan555
How this song is not more popular is beyond my understanding.
