Free The Madness
Steve Aoki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If the leather fades and the children age
And the love we share, separates
In a perfect world do we know we're done?
But I don't wanna grow up, not for anyone!

I wanna be alone with the ??? at home
I wanna take control of ???
If I could free this
I said If I could free this
If I could free this fuckin' madness in my mind!

Free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free your mind
Free, free your mind

Kells
And if tomorrow I wake up and I'm sixty years old
I hope when I look in the mirror and ask have you lived
I look right and back and say, "shit, you tell me!"

So I smoke this herb with my homies (Park the car with my homies)
Couldn't afford a roof over my head
Now I let that bitch burn with my homies
We living life in the moment huh
Walk in this bitch like we own this
Screaming out fuck the world 'til it's morning
And if I can free this
Madness, stop the screaming!
Inside of my mind needs freedom
And it's magic, a perfect evening
All I wanna do is have a little sunlight
All I wanna do is drink a little moonshine
I can show these motherfuckers how its done right
But don't nobody ever wanna have a good time

I wish I can see this
I wish I can free this
I wish I can free this
Fucking madness in my mind

Free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free your mind
Free, free your mind
Free your mind
Free, free your mind




Free your mind
Free, free your mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Aoki's song Free the Madness are a reflection of the struggles we face when caught between growing up and staying young. Aoki sings about the inevitability of fading and growing old, and how the love we share can sometimes separate us. In a perfect world, we would know when our time is done, but in reality, we want to hold on to our youth and not grow up for anyone. Aoki longs to be alone with his thoughts and wants to take control of his life. He wishes to free the madness in his mind and screams for the world to hear to release their minds from barriers to "have a little sunlight" and "drink a little moonshine." In other words, Aoki desires to live life in the moment and wishes the same for others.


In interpretation, the lyrics don't just talk about aging and growing old but instead stress the importance of living life to the fullest. It highlights the conflict that arises during the transition to maturity, the desire to hold onto youth and the inevitability of growing up. However, Aoki believes that one shouldn't limit themselves to constraints and should live in the moment without any regrets.

If our love fades and the children age

I don't wanna grow up, that's already won

I wanna be in love with the city now
I wanna take control
Fucking madness in my mind

And if tomorrow I wake up and I'm sixty years old
I hope when I look in the mirror and ask how you lived
I look right and back and say, "Shit, you tell me!"

So I smoke this herb with my homies
Couldn't afford a roof over my head
But I let that bitch burn with my homies
We're living life in the moment
Walk in this bitch like we own this
Screaming that fuck the world to this moment
And if I can free this
Madness, stop the screaming!
Inside of my mind it's freedom
And it's magic, a perfect giving
All I do is have a little sunlight
All I wanna do is drink a little moonshine
You can show me what a fuck I'm doing right
And don't nobody wanna have a good time

I wish I can see this
I wish I can free this

This dude is putting on a free concert about a half a block away from my apartment today in downtown LA. The setup looks sick. The bass vibrates the whole street and if cant dance to these beats then your dead on the inside.

Por esto y muchas cosas amo a Steve Aoki, no solo sus canciones si no su forma de ser lo expresa en sus vídeos w

Que nostalgia... Nice music

Eddie M.

I actually like it, coming from an MGK and Steve Aoki fan. Some people are just too afraid of change, don't be afraid to live outside your personal preference of musical genre for a while ...

Reading your comment 9 years later after MGK became the biggest modern rock artist with back to back VMA’s and a Grammy nomination completely proves your point
