Pacific Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the sounds you are hearing.
Shockwaves they multiply, flowin' from ear to ear and,
All thoughts of fighting physically come to a quick end,
To reggae music, sweeps your senses running through your head.
The peace of mind it provides leaves you hanging on,
Just like the spliff between your lips that you are rippin' on.
From here on out, just scream and shout like you are wanting more,
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah.
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah, yeah.
We don't mean powders, no pills, leave our senses numb,
If it got greens, that sensi weed, then come and give us some.
[...] that bottle got some peace and love,
Why, your body, it resides in the atoms of the bud.
What's her name, time and date, let us know when you're coming bruh,
Just sit back we'll bring ya somethin' on Pacific Dub.
Happy journey to a place in the near, far, and abroad, yeah.
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah.
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah, yeah.
Because the music sets your conscience free,
Just give in to the melody.
Imagine what just up we could do it.
And if you feel the time is right,
Then let your body take a flight,
We know what it can do to easy days.
Sit back, enjoy the ride with us,
Just let your body fly with us,
And listen to the words we have to say.
And soon you'll realize just what we said.
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah.
Music is a melody,
She comforts me, she sets me free, yeah, yeah.
The lyrics of Set Me Free by Pacific Dub depict the liberating and comforting power of music in one's life. The opening line "Come run through your brain, all the sounds you are hearing" refers to the immersive and encompassing experience that music can create within a person's mind. The shockwaves flowing from ear to ear represent the emotional and physical impact that music can have on an individual, overwhelming them in a positive sense.
The following lines, "All thoughts of fighting physically come to a quick end, to reggae music, sweeps your senses running through your head," indicate how music can pacify and calm a person's aggressive or negative thoughts, particularly reggae music in this case. This is followed by an invitation to indulge in the experience, to "scream and shout like you are wanting more" and "let your body soar" as music provides a sense of peace and comfort.
The lyrics also suggest the influence of cannabis on the creative process and the enjoyment of music, with mentions of "sensi weed" and "the atoms of the bud." However, the essence of the song remains focused on the transformative and empowering nature of music. The chorus emphasizes that "she comforts me, she sets me free" with the repetition of music as a melody, indicating the power of the musical experience.
