Their debut album "About the something", also produced by Komarov, had been finished in August of 2008. Although "Another girl" became a hit and was chosen for Miller beer TV ad company, there are no other "Girls" on the CD. On the contrary Manicure try to look more serious with the gloomy sounds, dirty synths, gorgeous harmonies and rowdy rock-n-roll riffs.
I Wanna Be Free
Manicure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the only one, you are the only one
I wanna be free just you and me
I am the only one, you are the only one
I can smile cause I feel loved
Like a seventeen years old
You turn me on don't turn me off
I wanna be free just you and me
I am the only one, you are the only one
I wanna be free just you and me
I am the only one, you are the only one
I can smile cause I feel loved
Like a seventeen years old
And my watch is fifteen minutes slow
You turn me on don't turn me off
The lyrics of Manicure's song "I Wanna Be Free" seem to be about the desire for freedom and the joy of being with someone special, surrounded by love. The repetition of "I wanna be free just you and me" indicates a strong desire for simplicity and intimacy, as though the singer wants to strip away all distractions and just be with the person they love. The lines "I am the only one, you are the only one" further reinforce this idea of exclusivity and connection.
The second verse suggests a sense of youthfulness and energy, with the singer feeling as though they are seventeen years old and full of smiles. The description of the watch being fifteen minutes slow could symbolize a desire to slow down time and savor the sweet moments of life. The line "You turn me on don't turn me off" adds a slightly sensual tone to the song, although it does not overpower the overall sense of innocence and happiness.
In all, "I Wanna Be Free" seems to be a celebration of love and simplicity, with the singer yearning for a life free from distractions and full of genuine connection with their loved one.
