Set Me Free
Myron Butler feat. Levi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't even know, where my life would be
If You hadn't shown, shown Your love towards me
Broke the chains, the chains that were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free
I don't even know, where my life would be
Broke the chains, the chains that were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free
If it hadn't been, yeah, for the Lord who, yeah
Who was on my side
Be lost, yeah, like a ship, yeah
Without a guide
If I'm sinking, yeah, said he, yeah
Lifting me
Broke the chains
That were binding me
Whom the son sets free
Is truly free indeed
Now I'm walking in my liberty
I don't even know, where my life would be
If You hadn't shown, shown Your love towards me
Broke the chains, the chains that were binding me
Gave me liberty, set me free
And when I, yeah, I felt like, yeah
I could not last
I was bound by, yeah, the guilt of, yeah
Of my past
But I gave the Lord, yeah, the Lord my life, yeah
And in exchange
He gave me brand new life
I haven't been the same
Whom the son sets free
Is truly free indeed
And now I'm, I'm walking in
I'm walking in my liberty, yeah
Gave me victory
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me victory
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me victory
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me victory
Now I, I have been set free
Gave me liberty
Now I, set me free
The first verse of the song, "Well, well, there you go. I don't even know, where my life would be if you hadn't shown, shown your love towards me," suggests the singer's gratitude towards an individual or entity for bringing love into their life. The chains that bind the singer are perhaps a metaphor for their past struggles and hardships. The second verse speaks about being lost without a guide, like a ship at sea. It then goes onto describe someone lifting the singer during their times of distress, freeing them from their chains and providing them with liberty.
The chorus of the song repeats the importance of the "son" setting an individual free, and emphasizes how this act of liberation brings true freedom. The individual who was once lost and bound is now walking in their "liberty," and the song celebrates this newfound sense of freedom and victory. The final line of the song repeats the phrase "set me free" multiple times to further emphasize the importance of this liberation.
