Freedom is Finite
Where Angels Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In front of you
And you have to grab them
So that's what you do
The sacrifice you have to make
The sacrifice..
That you do the right thing?
How can you be so sure
That you hold the key?
Do you have a choice?
Or is it your destiny?
Does it feel right in your heart?
Or just expected of you?
How can you be so sure
That you do the right thing?
How can you be so sure
Do you have the key?
The lyrics of the song "Freedom is Finite" by Where Angels Fall are very thought-provoking and deep. The song talks about the choices that one has to make in life and how difficult it can sometimes be to decide what is right and wrong. The opening lines of the song, "Glittering stones in front of you and you have to grab them, so that's what you do," refer to the various opportunities and temptations that come our way in life. We often feel compelled to grab them, without really thinking about the consequences of our actions.
The chorus of the song asks the listener how they can be so sure that they are doing the right thing and whether they really hold the key to their own destiny. The lines "Do you have a choice or is it your destiny?" and "Does it feel right in your heart or just expected of you?" ask us to reflect on the kind of life we want to lead and whether we are making choices that align with our own values and beliefs. In the end, the song leaves us with more questions than answers, asking us to think long and hard about the sacrifices we make in life and whether they are worth it.
