Liberate Me
Our Last Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You had no faith, you had no heart
You wanted war right from the start

We were not the same
You tried to find the demons inside of me
But little did you know I had set them free
We were not the same, you made me insane
We were not the same

There were never any fingerprints to hide
Because your death was a suicide
There was no evidence to find
Because it wasn't me who committed the crime

You took my voice, you took my pride
But now you're gone so both are mine

We were not the same
You made the wrong moves at the right times
Was it fate or was it just in your mind?
We were not the same, you made me insane
We were not the same

There were never any fingerprints to hide
Because your death was a suicide
There was no evidence to find
Because it wasn't me who committed the crime

Go!

You tried to lock me down!
I found the key, liberate me!
You tried to lock me down!
I found the key!

I said, "You'll never take my freedom away"
And those were the words that made us separate

There were never any fingerprints to hide
Because your death was a suicide
There was no evidence to find
Because it wasn't me who committed the crime

There were never any fingerprints to hide
Because your death was a suicide




There was no evidence to find
Because it wasn't me who committed the crime

Overall Meaning

The song "Liberate Me" by Our Last Night is a powerful and emotional track that tells the story of someone who has been wronged and is seeking freedom from the person who took everything away from them. The opening lines "You had no faith, you had no heart, you wanted war right from the start" set the tone for the rest of the song, as it becomes clear that the singer has been in a toxic relationship with someone who has been trying to control them.


The chorus "We were not the same, you made me insane" expresses the frustration and anger the singer feels towards their oppressor. They revel in the fact that their oppressor underestimated them, believing that they could control them and find "the demons" within them. However, the singer has "set them free" and is now liberated.


The line "there were never any fingerprints to hide, because your death was a suicide" suggests that the singer's oppressor has met their end at their own hand. The singer seems almost relieved that they don't have to carry out the deed themselves or worry about being accused of the crime, as it wasn't them who "committed the crime."


Overall, the song is a cathartic release for anyone who has felt oppressed or controlled by another person. It speaks to the struggle of breaking free from someone who has tried to lock you down and take away your freedom.


Line by Line Meaning

You had no faith, you had no heart
You lacked the belief and compassion that make one human


You wanted war right from the start
You desired conflict from the very beginning


We were not the same
There existed a fundamental difference between us


You tried to find the demons inside of me
You attempted to uncover the darkness within me


But little did you know I had set them free
You were unaware that I had already freed myself from them


You made me insane
Your actions caused me to lose my sanity and composure


There were never any fingerprints to hide
No physical evidence existed that required concealment


Because your death was a suicide
You took your own life


There was no evidence to find
No clues or traces were left behind


Because it wasn't me who committed the crime

You took my voice, you took my pride
You deprived me of my ability to speak and my sense of self-worth


But now you're gone so both are mine
Now that you have left, I have regained them both


You made the wrong moves at the right times
You followed a misguided path despite advantageous circumstances


Was it fate or was it just in your mind?
Did something predetermined lead to this outcome, or was it solely your own doing?


Go!
An energetic exclamation indicating an assertion of will and determination


You tried to lock me down!
You aimed to restrain and control me!


I found the key, liberate me!
I discovered the solution, and now I am free!


I said, "You'll never take my freedom away"
I proclaimed that my independence will never be stripped from me


And those were the words that made us separate
My statement formed the dividing factor between us

What two lines that stand out most to me is "There wasn't any finger prints to hide because your death was a suicide." And "You took my voice, you took my pride, but now your gone so both are mine!" I really like both of those lines! :3

@***** Thanks, I am!

+Sadboyism Why does liking rock or heavy metal make you an emo? I love both and I'm very happy with my life and I am not depressed. I know a lot of people who consider them self emo or goth and they're great people to hang out with! She didn't even say anything offensive. You just called her emo because she loves this song. +Shelby Curry You seem like a great and funny person!

Shelby Curry

I know right? SOMEONE just SOMEONE had to point it out. So I thought I would!

futra_r6

@Shelby Curry Yeah thanks, I am fully aware of how spectacular it is.

Shelby Curry
