Liberation
Mad Marge and the Stonecutters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and it's burning like hell in the deep twilight.
It will never fade but only grow in power.
Liberation comes in the midnight hour.
Do you know? Do you know
Where you'll come from and where you'll go?
Never heard a sound that sounds so simple
I said hey hey let's hurry,
Come along with me,
We'll ride across the sea.
I said hey hey let's hurry
Tell me what you want.
Can't you see it's malignancy?
A vile trap that placed in you and me.
Lets get lost before we turns sour.
Liberation baby in the midnight hour.
Do you know? Do you know
How much I love all the feeling you show?
Never heard a sound that sound so simple
But could still bring the world to its knees.
I said hey hey let's hurry,
And come along with me
We'll ride across the sea.
I said hey hey let's hurry.
Tell me what you want.
I see them march in the dark from afar.
They come for what's inside,
But baby, it's alright.
'Cause I've been set free
Yeah I've been set free.
And I've been liberated.
And I've been liberated.
And I've been liberated.
And I've been liberated.
I said hey hey let's hurry,
And come along with me
We'll ride across the sea.
I said hey hey let's hurry.
Tell me what you want.
The lyrics of "Liberation" by Mad Marge and the Stonecutters speak of a city that is burning in the night, yet instead of despair, the lyrics bring a message of hope and freedom. The song suggests that the city's destruction is not a loss but actually a way towards liberation. The chorus asks the listener if they know where they came from and where they are going, and claims that liberation comes at midnight. The song asks the listener to join the singer on a journey across the sea to find what they truly desire. A darker tone is introduced in the third verse, with the mention of a "vile trap" that affects both the listener and the singer, but liberation still remains the answer even if through escape.
Overall, the song speaks of liberation and the search for freedom from whatever chains hold an individual in place. It suggests that one must be willing to let go of the past and embrace the unknown to find what they truly want. The intense guitar sounds in the song complement the lyrics perfectly, adding to the song's messages of breaking free from limitations.
