Set Free
Katie Gray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

De de nah
De de nah

There's a cold fire
There's a crossfire
And there's something
Inside, inside
And we'll never, never
Make it
And we'll never, never
Break it

Until, until

There's a long game
That's a wrong chain
And it's something
We all hide it
Inside

And we'll never, never make it
And we'll never, never break it
Until we learn to see
Until we set free

And you got style
And you got grace
And you got the means
To leave that place
But you'll never, never make it
And you'll never, never break it

Until you learn to see
Until you set free

So set free
Set free

Set free
Set free

De de dum de de de
De de dum de de de

Free, oh
Set free

If we could see that this was all that we need
Inside our minds
Bodies and souls
We wouldn't run and we would let go
Cause we'd realize




That we had
That we had no control

I found it!! Quarantine at home so I set out to watch Bones from the beginning to end and came across this song and it really stood out from all the episodes I’ve seen so far! She has a lovely voice and the video editing was well produced, the moment with the murder being solved and Zack spending time with the gang again and her singing made that moment emotional. :3
