Free Me
The Hardkiss Lyrics

Survivor in the ocean
A person struggling to survive in a vast and seemingly endless ocean

Sails the raft, his only hope
Using a single raft as a way to stay afloat and hopefully find safety

He has no clue, no notion
Being completely lost and without any understanding or direction

Where is some land and where's his home.
Not knowing where land or safety is or where his true home is

So he closed his eyes and saw his Motherland
Imagining his hometown, perhaps to find comfort in memories or to seek direction

He was praying to a God
Appealing to a higher power for help or guidance

Free me, free
Wanting to be released from something that is burdening or trapping him

From my past
Being free from history or bad experiences that may be weighing him down

And my future disappears in my sins
Feeling like he has no future because of a mistake or wrongdoing in the past

What I see? are the tears I caused
Regretting past actions that have caused pain or suffering to others

Made a promise to himself
Committing to something for his own benefit or for the benefit of others

To live, to be devoted
Choosing to live fully and passionately for something or someone

And to find a saving shelf
Seeking safety or security in a time of uncertainty or crisis

Free me, free
Continuing to cry out for help or release

I see what you mean
Understanding someone else's perspective or seeing things more clearly

Me, me in the ocean of tears
Feeling surrounded by sadness and despair

Keep me out of trouble
Requesting protection or help to avoid conflict or difficulty

Fix my broken mirror
Asking for help to mend something that is damaged or flawed

Keep me out of dust
Asking for protection from danger or harm

I won't be afraid anymore
Committing to being brave and fearless despite challenges

Life is just a bubble
Recognizing the fleeting nature of existence

I am not a hero
Acknowledging that he is not special or different from anyone else

Watch me swimming ashore
Determination to succeed and reach a goal

Wash my tears away
Requesting comfort or a release from sadness
