Liberation
M.A.S.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are nothing but a path unknown
An abeyance that's grown
And that will soon overflow
I know you're getting cold
But won't you hang on for us all?
Just like I've seen a thaw
Hold on now
Brother you've been here before
When you were lost and good as gone
When you were bleeding on your own
But you survived, now - don't we all?
We clench our teeth and make it home
This revelry of yours
Is nothing but what you've longed for
You've learned to dance alone
Now the whole world's come to rejoice
It greets you in meadows
It knows what only you two know
All living's now your home
You'll know a love that you've not known
Hold on now
Brother you've been here before
When you were lost and good as gone
When you were bleeding on your own
But you survived, now - don't we all?
We clench our teeth and make it home
Make sure your words go through your heart before they go through your mouth
Make sure they're kind more than they're loud
Make sure they're not another knife
I know it's impossible at times
But it may just be our only way out

However, the song offers hope and encourages the listener to hold on, reminding them of their previous experiences overcoming adversity.
The lyrics mention a specific moment of transformation, symbolized by a thaw, where the listener will come alive and find their way back home. This transformation is likened to a rebirth and a discovery of a love that was previously unknown. The song acknowledges that everyone faces their own challenges and that survival is a shared experience. The lyrics emphasize the importance of perseverance and making it "home," which can be interpreted as finding a sense of belonging and inner peace.
"Liberation" also imparts wisdom on the power of words and their impact on others. The lyrics highlight the need to be mindful of the words we speak, ensuring that they come from a place of kindness rather than being loud or hurtful.
