Be Free
King Dude & Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I was free
Outside in the field
Where we both fell in love
Then I knew it was real
You put me outside
I was singing a song
You looked to the window,
but I was already gone

The wind?? looking like tons
And the skin like the Heaven's
Clouds in our lungs
I saw my reflection,
and I talked to the glass
I think about you - I think of the past!

If you wanna be free, don't think about me
Don't you look in my eyes,
Don't you hang around me
No more, oh
The thing that you want is what's killing me
Don't you dare take mu hand
If you won't be free, oh no
Your face like a painting in your history mind
But you barely survived,
and you're barely alive
Those rules of lost days that we buried in time,
Can't lead the pain I felt it inside

When you carried my child
I planted my seed,
I know it was WRONG, but you know what I need
You saw in my eyes when you were looking at me
Keep dug at my door
Your love sets me free
ooh!

If you wanna be free, don't think about me
Don't you look in my eyes,
Don't you hang around me
No more, oh
And the thing that you want is the thing that's killing me




Don't you dare take my hand
If you won't be free, oh no no!

I was outside in a field when I experienced that freedom


Where we both fell in love
It was the same place where we both fell in love


Then I knew it was real
The feeling of being in love was real


You put me outside
You made me leave


I was singing a song
I was singing a song when you made me leave


You looked to the window,
You looked out the window


but I was already gone
But I had already left


The wind?? looking like tons
The wind was strong and heavy


And the skin like the Heaven's
The feeling of the air was heavenly


Clouds in our lungs
We were breathing clouds of air


I saw my reflection,
I saw my own reflection


and I talked to the glass
And I talked to my reflection in the glass


I think about you - I think of the past!
I often think about you and remember the past

Those rules of lost days that we buried in time,
We have buried the rules that defined our relationship in the past


Can't lead the pain I felt it inside
However, the pain I felt still resides within me

When you were pregnant with my child


I planted my seed,
I impregnated you

Last night I was free
Outside in the field
Where we both fell in love
And I knew it was real
You put me outside
I was singing a song
You looked to the window
But I was already gone

The winds were whipping, licking like tongues
And our skin like the heavens
Clouds in our lungs
I saw my reflection
In the dark dirty glass
I think about you and I think of the past

If you wanna be free, don't think about me
Don't you look in my eyes
Don't you hang around me
No more, oh

The thing that you want is what's killing me
Don't you dare take my hand
If you wanna be free, oh no

Your face like a painting in your historic mind
But you barely survived
And you're barely alive
Those rules of lost days that we buried in time
I carried the baby it felt dead inside

Well you carried my child
I planted my seed
I know it was wrong, but you know what I need
You saw it in my eyes when you were looking at me
You keep darkening my doorway
Your love sets me free, oh

If you wanna be free, don't think about me
Don't you look in my eyes
Don't you hang around me
No more, oh
And the thing that you want is the thing that's killing me
Don't you dare take my hand
If you wanna be free, oh no no

Like many others, first thing this reminded me of was PJ Harvey and Nick Cave's collaborations. There's a similar vibe. Love the song.
