Set Me Free
Leea Nanos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the hold you have on me
To the one I can't shake off
I surrender all my love
You're the one I can't let go
So don't you keep me hanging on
To deserve this chance
I never break away
No, they never break away
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be
I remember late at night
We were on the phone 'til midnight
On the path to something more
I remember you said her name
Either give me you or go with her
But I'm tired of playing games
What can I do
To deserve this chance
I never break away
No, they never break away
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be, yeah
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
And leave me be, yeah
Take it all
Set me free
Take it all (Set me free)
Set me free
Take it all (Set me free)
Set me free
Take it all
Set me free
Take my soul, take it all
Oh, set me free
The lyrics of Leea Nanos's song Set Me Free convey the idea of surrender and the desire to break free from a hold that someone has over the singer. The lyrics illustrate a love story where the singer is so deeply in love with someone that they are willing to surrender everything to them. This includes their soul, emotions, and everything else they possess, and they cannot shake off the hold this person has on them. In the chorus, the singer begs for release from the hold and asks to be set free.
The second verse delves into the backstory of the relationship, with the singer recalling being on the phone late into the night with the person they love. However, the relationship is complicated by the presence of another woman whose name the singer recalls the person they love saying. The other woman presents an ultimatum: either the singer gives themselves entirely to them or goes with the other woman, but the singer is tired of playing games. The singer expresses their desire to deserve their love interest's affection and begs to be set free from the situation.
In summary, the lyrics of Set Me Free speak to the powerful hold love can have on someone, the desire to be free from this intense attachment, and the hard work and effort it takes to be worthy of someone's love and affection.
