Set Me Free
Skellism Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fires burnin' all around
Ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me
Set me free

The smoke it settles on my skin
Don't play with fire and love their wind
Someone save me

Help me breathe

Break yo-
Break yo-
Break yo' neck!

Fire spreading everywhere
I feel running out of air
Someone save me
Set me free

This love was ours long ago
Never had the chance to grow
Someone save me
Help me breathe

Break yo-
Break yo-
Break yo' neck!

Drop it!
