Liberty
Saint Saviour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tempers lost
Sail to me, liberty
Over seas
Mountain tops
Fly to me, liberty
It's a question for you
Are we really free?
It's a question for you
It's a question for me
Are we really free?
We all build our own walls
One way or another we will do our time
No man is an island
One way or another we all stand in line
Tears I shed, innocently led
All mistakes are made, and replayed
Like history, who the hell are we
At liberty, liberty?
It's a question for you
It's a question for me
Are we really free?
It's a question for you
It's a question for me
Are we really free?
Dip it in gold
Lo and behold
What do you see
Liberty
Dip it in gold
Lo and behold
What do you see
Liberty
Dip it in gold
Lo and behold
What do you see
Liberty
The song "Liberty" by Saint Saviour touches upon the theme of freedom and individuality. The first verse speaks of a storm, both physical and emotional, where tempers are lost and turmoil abounds. The chorus raises the question of whether we are truly free or not, as the singer implores the listener to consider their own sense of liberation. The metaphor of building one's own walls is used to suggest that we all create our own limitations, and yet must serve our own sentence for them. The lines "no man is an island" and "we all stand in line" serve as reminders that, despite our differences, we are all connected and subject to the same societal pressures.
The second half of the song takes on a more introspective tone as the singer reveals her own vulnerabilities and doubts. She sheds tears due to mistakes made, highlighting the importance of learning from past experiences rather than repeating them. The line "Like history, who the hell are we" serves as a thought-provoking reminder that individuals are but a small part of the larger picture, and our actions are not only interconnected but may be influenced by the actions of others throughout history. The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase "Dip it in gold, lo and behold, what do you see, Liberty," perhaps suggesting that true freedom lies not in material wealth or possessions, but in a mental and emotional state of being.

At liberty, liberty?
Wondering if true freedom can be achieved
Dip it in gold
Gilding something, coating it in a shiny, beautiful cover
Lo and behold
Behold, look and see
What do you see
Asking what appears after gilding something
Liberty
The word she associates with the vision of something gilded in gold
