Freely
Linda Perhacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worm as a wind on a rise
Free as the clouds that let go freely
I want to be freely with you
Freely with you
I want to be freely with you
I want to be free
Clear as the sky at dawn
Soft as a rain in the sun
True as a light of new day
I want to be freely, freely with you
I want to be free
I want to be free
I want to be free, freely with you
High as a bird that flies
Worm as a wind on a rise
Free as the clouds that let go freely
I want to be freely with you
Freely with you
I want to be free
I want to be free
I want to be free, freely with you
The lyrics to Linda Perhacs's song "Freely" express a desire to be unencumbered and unrestrained with a lover. The imagery of flying birds, rising winds, and clear skies all serve to emphasize the freedom the singer wants to experience. She desires a partnership that allows for complete emotional openness and vulnerability. When she repeats the phrase "I want to be free," it's clear that her relationship is something that is currently holding her back, and she seeks to break free from those constraints in order to be with her lover "freely." The use of the word "freely" is repeated often in the song, emphasizing just how important that level of freedom is to the singer.
Overall, the song is a powerful romantic statement about the desire for unbridled emotional connection. The use of natural imagery serves to emphasize the raw beauty and power of the love the singer wants to experience. The repetition of the "I want to be free" is especially poignant, demonstrating how the singer yearns for this connection but feels constrained by something holding them back. In the end, the hope is that the singer will be able to achieve that freedom and find true emotional fulfillment with their chosen partner.
