Set Me Free
Normundy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I see the light and I'm feeling like I'll manage
Now I'm panicking I've become a mannequin
Out of sync and now my soul is vanishing
It's smoke and mirrors to cope with fears
I'm slipping down the slope and hope my soul appears
I'm choking on the tears but wrote for years and know that
I was speaking to myself and to myself I spoke back
Inside it hides so I decided to find myself
You wanna hold out You gotta let go
Minimize ego live your life free No
Promises or regrets to defect your method
Reflect and direct your life through the message
It seems the only way that you can truly take control
Is to separate the spirit from the fear of letting go
I'm waking up
Can't you see that everything
Has come crashing down on me
I have tried to let it be
But now you've got to set me free
Wake up and I'm covered in sweat
Catching my breath and I'm clutching my chest
Now I'm fretting My head's embedded in dread
And is threaded in webbing and now I'm second guessing regret
Rip back the veil The fact you failed
Will you lead back to track the trail and drag the pail
Up to the well and draw from it 'till your cup overflows
You can truly take control if you just let it go
I'm waking up
And it goes to show you spoke from growth
'Cause whenever you quote the code
You know to just let it go
'Cause I've had enough
I said it goes to show you spoke from growth
'Cause whenever you quote the code
You know to just let it go
Just let it go
Can't you see that everything
Has come crashing down on me
I have tried to let it be
But now you've got to set me free
You're all about you I finally see
That I need to bleed you out
'Cause what we were is a memory
So you've got to set me free
You blacked out the sky and swallowed the atmosphere
You left me to die and told me to disappear
You showed me your hate so I harnessed your spite
And built a fire
Now the sun in the day and the moon in the night
Will guide me higher
You know that the only way to take
Control is to throw away the things
You hold Break the chains and make the change
Let go throw yourself into The Void
You know that the only way to take
Control is to throw away the things
You hold Break the chains and make the change
Let go Take control and just let it go
You showed me your hate so I harnessed your spite
And built a fire
Now the sun in the day and the moon in the night
Will guide me higher
Can't you see that everything
Has come crashing down on me
I have tried to let it be
But now you've got to set me free
You're all about you I finally see
That I need to bleed you out
What we were is a memory
So you've got to set me free
The lyrics to Normundy's song, "Set Me Free," depicts a struggle with self-doubt and fear. The opening lines are an admission to feeling βmanic' and the damage that it causes. However, through this self-reflection, the singer ultimately gains strength and feels as though he can manage. They talk about feeling like a mannequin and out of sync, which illustrates the disconnection the singer feels from themselves and their soul. The lyrics, "It's smoke and mirrors to cope with fears," suggest that the singer used distractions to cope with their fears, but the distractions led to them feeling as though their soul was vanishing.
The chorus, "Can't you see that everything has come crashing down on me, I have tried to let it be, but now you've got to set me free," shows that despite the struggle, the singer is ready to let go of the past and move on. The singer is waking up to their power and finding their higher self. They encourage others to do the same and minimize their ego to live life freely. The lyrics also suggest that the only way to take control is to throw away the things holding you back and make a change.
The song's repetition of letting go and taking control is a reminder that when we let go of the things holding us back, we open ourselves up to other opportunities. It's a song about starting over and moving forward to be free from fear.
