Independence Day
Smoke DZA R.F.C. Styles P & Al Doe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not thinking about you
I'm happy without you
No matter what they say
This is my independence

They say its a small small world
But your a million miles away
Wishing on that same bright star
I shouldn't wish my life away

Without you the night still falls
And I know the sun will rise
The truth is that life goes on
True as oceans pull the tide

We've got forever baby
We just haven't got tonight
Oh baby

[Chorus]
I'm not thinking about ya
I'm happy without ya
No matter what my friends say
(no matter what they say)
Your not my one and only
I ain't feeling lonely
This is my independence day
My independence day

I guess we've made mistakes
And you just have to live and learn
Cause I've got no regrets
It doesn't mean that I don't burn

The sounds of times still fall
No matter what they say
Too many sacrifice
I can't dwell on yesterday

We've got forever baby
We've got as long as it feels right
Oh baby

[Chorus]

Hey, my independence day

No matter what comes my way
I'm gonna live for today
This is my independence day

Ah yea

[Chorus]

No matter what comes my way
My independence day

Wishing on that same bright star
(I'm not thinking about you)
I shouldn't wish my life away, wish my life away
(I'm happy with out you no matter what they say)
They say it's a small small world,
They say its a small small, small small world
(this is my independence)





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of this song express a definitive break from a past relationship. The singer of the song declares that they are not thinking about the person they were previously romantically involved with and that they are happy without them. They are declaring their independence from this person and any emotional connection they had. Even though others may talk about the relationship or question their feelings, the singer is firm in their autonomy. They are embracing their independence in the face of other people’s opinions and remaining steadfast in their decision.


The second verse reflects on the idea that while life may go on without this former partner, it does not mean there is no pain. Mistakes have been made, and there are sacrifices that the singer must accept. But they will not dwell on these things, and they will live for the moment. The chorus reinforces their decision, with the singer stating that they are not lonely and have their independence. This can be interpreted as the singer owning their own life and their own decisions.


Overall, the song is about creating boundaries and owning one’s autonomy. The singer is choosing to look forward rather than back, despite there being some nostalgic pain. They are choosing to embrace their independence and enjoy life on their own terms.
