I Am Free
Safari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I alone?
Thoughts not synced with my speaking tone it's time to say goodbye to my cellphone
Can't help not to check, the amount of likes I get per a day, let's say
It don't matter anyway

Am I alone?
Anxiety talks and does as free to roam, it's been getting quite exhausting
Loneliness cuddles, sleeping with others, oh I cannot sustain my own home

It's only temporary, it's what they say to me
Fuck it why can't you see?
I'm not quite the man that I used to be

Lonely as can be oh here I stand with me losing my mind from my sight
What do you see right now I'm aching all around, the time is spinning all of the time
Well I wanna be close to the real me, can you set me free?

Memories that won't leave
As much as I'm begging them please





Am I alone?
Thoughts not synced with my speaking tone it's time to say goodbye to my cellphone
