We Are
Swirl People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We′re saying, "Hey, we are one of the neatest places in the world" and we really are
Freedom is a part, it's anonymous whisper
Years and years and years
We, uh, revel in freedom
We, uh, we revel in freedom as we come into a new century
Freedom is a part, it's anonymous whisper
Years and years and years
We, uh, revel in freedom
The song "We Are" by Swirl People is a celebration of freedom as humanity enters a new century. The first two lines declare that "we revel in freedom," suggesting that this is a time of great optimism and hope. The next line, "We're saying, 'Hey, we are one of the neatest places in the world' and we really are," is an expression of national pride, highlighting the positive aspects of the world and the opportunities for growth and change.
The phrase "Freedom is a part, it's anonymous whisper" is intriguing because it seems to suggest that freedom is both a concrete and abstract concept. It may refer to the freedom to live our lives as we choose, but it could also represent something deeper, like the freedom to think, to feel, and to be. The repetition of "Years and years and years" may emphasize the enduring nature of this concept and the hope that it will continue to be a driving force in our lives.
Overall, the lyrics of "We Are" convey a sense of optimism and hope as we look forward to the future. The song celebrates the idea of freedom and encourages us to embrace it as we navigate the challenges ahead.
