Without Walls
Memphis May Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is who we are! These are the roads we paved,
The strength we found and the mistakes we made along the way.
This is who we are! These are the roads we paved,
The strength we found and the mistakes we made along the way.
This is who we are! These are the roads we paved,
The strength we found and the mistakes we made along the way.
This is who we are! These are the roads we paved
And now I've had enough of your judgement.
You pass it so easily.

If you think that I take it to heart now you see this is my design.
You don't know the cost.
So I'll keep my faith and you can stay lost.
Who is with me? We have the strength to shed light.
And this is the moment suspended in time.
No limits, no boundaries at all.




Just when you think we conform to a scene
We break down the wall!

Overall Meaning

They claim ownership of their identity despite others' judgments and urge others to join them in their cause to break down social barriers that limit their potential. The lyrics serve as a call to action for those who struggle with conformity and want to stand up for their beliefs.


The repeated phrase "this is who we are" emphasizes the singer's certainty in their identity and their willingness to be vulnerable and speak out against negative influences. They refuse to let the opinions of others dictate their actions and remain steadfast in their faith in themselves. They believe that their strength can inspire others to do the same and that by breaking down the walls that society constructs, anything is possible. The final lines of the song provide hope and a sense of freedom from social expectations, encouraging listeners to conform to their true selves rather than fitting into a preconceived mold.

..... As soon as you started playing my mouth just dropped. Instantly liked and favourited. Amazing cover man, nice to see a guitar cover for once and not vocals. Very well done and worth the watch :)
