I Will Be Free
Nil Lara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For many years I've been held inside this wishing well
I can't see anymore, I've tried to reason my life
I can't feel anymore, I find it hard to survive
And God will I see the day I will be free, I will be free
If somebody hears
But sometimes I fear it's been a waste
And the worst is yet to come
I can't give anymore everything's been taken away
And the ones I adore keep getting farther each day
God let me believe the day I will be free, I will be free
Can you see me at all, do you care to understand?
Can you hear me at all, will you turn your eyes again?
God let me believe the day I will be free, I will be free
In Nil Lara's song "I Will Be Free," the lyrics describe a sense of hopelessness and entrapment that the singer feels within their own life. The opening lines mention birds in the air, which could symbolize freedom and the ability to soar above one's troubles. However, the line "will I keep on hoping for myself" indicates that the singer feels unable to rely on anyone else to help them achieve that freedom.
The lyrics go on to describe being trapped "inside this wishing well" for many years. This imagery suggests the singer has been unable to escape their own desires and dreams, perhaps feeling stuck in a cycle of wanting and never attaining. The lines "I can't see anymore, I've tried to reason my life / I can't feel anymore, I find it hard to survive" convey a sense of numbness and disconnection, as if the singer has given up trying to navigate their own life.
The repeated refrain "God will I see the day I will be free, I will be free" expresses a longing for liberation, both from external circumstances and from inner turmoil. The singer acknowledges that if they are heard by someone, they consider themselves lucky, but they also fear that their efforts may be in vain. The lines "I can't give anymore everything's been taken away / And the ones I adore keep getting farther each day" convey a sense of loss and isolation, as well as a feeling of being stripped of agency and control.
Overall, "I Will Be Free" portrays a sense of longing for deliverance from life's struggles, while acknowledging the difficulties and uncertainties involved in achieving that freedom.
