Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to be free
Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own

So baby can't you see
I've got to break free
I've got to break free




I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

It's been almost 40 years, A message to the future generations: Don't let this beautiful masterpiece die!

@DamienDarkside

Sadly enough, the 55 year olds who were teens at this time are currently promoting laws that restrict LGBT+ people - who would have included Freddy as a target - and wants to pretend they don't exist. You know, the same people who said "the artist formerly known as Prince" instead of "Prince" are suddenly confused at the "sudden rise of LGBT" like they haven't been in your faces since on mainstream since the 70s.
