Pennywise's current line-up consists of Jim Lindberg (vocals), Fletcher Dragge (guitars), Randy Bradbury (bass) and Byron McMackin (drums). They had kept their original line-up together until bassist Jason Thirsk died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1996, due to issues with his alcoholism, after which Bradbury joined as his replacement. In August 2009, Lindberg decided to leave the band; he was replaced in February 2010 by Ignite singer Zoli Téglás. With Téglás, the band recorded their tenth studio album All or Nothing, which was released on May 1, 2012. Lindberg rejoined the band later that year after Téglás was sidelined by a back injury.

Set Me Free
Pennywise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
There is a reason for all that comes to be
My troubled life riddled with dark insanities
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free and time keeps on slippin'
Like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
The lyrics to Pennywise's song "Set Me Free" reflect the desire to be freed from the troubles, pain, and insanity of life. The singer acknowledges that life is a lesson that can only be learned for free and that time keeps moving on relentlessly, like a faded memory. The repetition of the phrase "set me free" implies that the singer is trapped in some sort of emotional or psychological turmoil and is searching for an escape.
The chorus' repetition of "set me free" further emphasizes the idea of being trapped, while the lines "I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'" suggest the singer's determination to face their challenges head-on, knowing others don't understand what they're going through. The past experiences and difficulties have left their mark, and the singer realizes that solutions can be found through the pain that surrounds them, and time will ultimately heal their soul.
Overall, "Set me Free" is a song about the struggle to overcome life's difficulties, the realization that time is fleeting, and the need to find a way out of the pain and chaos. The solution, the singer seems to suggest, is to face one's mission, confront the pain and darkness, and wait for time to bring healing and restoration.

Hell yeah, best song of the album

The chorus almost sounds like a lost soundgarden song
