Who Would I Be
V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live
Like I'm longin' to live
I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
And though I'm way over due
I'd be starting a new
Well I wish I could be
Like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly
Oh I'd soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
Than I'd sing 'cause I know, yea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know, yea

The song is about breaking free from the chains of oppression and living life to the fullest. The first verse talks about the singer's desire to be free from the chains that are holding them back, to say the things that they want to say without fear and to share the love in their heart. The second verse is about the singer's longing to do the things that they can do and live the life that they want to live. The chorus talks about the freedom of being able to fly like a bird in the sky, just as a metaphor for a life with no limits.
The lyrics to "Who Would I Be" can be open to interpretation. The song could be about breaking free from personal struggles, like depression or addiction, or it could be about breaking free from the chains of society and the expectations placed on us.
