Ziggy Alberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In vases or jars
And neither does she
In traffic or cars
With debts to be paid that she owes to herself
With interest for trade ins
In good states of health
Moments to heal
Of everything everyone's expecting from me
Searching for freedom
Slowing down time
There's more that I feel
Deep in my bones
Hidden in me, there's reasons I know
I've been searching for freedom
Searching for mine
There's more that I feel
Deep in my bones
Hidden beneath these reasons for being
Searching for freedom
Searching for mine
He stopped asking for change in the past
Moving forward, asked for change in perspective
And learnt a lot more
And felt his hands raised between his eyes and the sun
The warmth flooding in, saw the importance of
Moments to grow
Of places to heal
Of everything that I have been expecting from me
I'm searching for freedom
Slowing down time
There's more that I feel
Deep in my bones
Hidden in me, there's reasons I know
Searching for freedom
Searching for mine
There's more that I feel
Deep in my bones
Hidden beneath these reasons for being
Searching for freedom
Searching for mine
Searching for freedom
In transit to home
Searching for freedom
Traverse the unknown
Searching for freedom
Truth in that feeling
Truth in that meaning
Searching for, searching for
Searching for freedom
Searching for freedom
Searching for freedom
The truth in the feeling
The truth in the meaning
Searching for, searching for
Searching for freedom
The song "Searching for Freedom" by Ziggy Alberts reflects the yearning for personal liberation from the mundane and the expectations of society. The imagery of flowers not thriving in vases or jars signifies the same truth for the subject of the song, that she too needs to be free, unconfined by the routines and obligations that weigh her down. The lyrics go on to eloquently describe how the subject has payments to make to herself - symbolizing investments in personal growth, moments to heal, and expectations to meet, imposed by others but also self-inflicted.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Searching for Freedom" - emphasizing the quest of the singer's subject to break free and be true to herself. The second verse brings in the perspective of a male, who has stopped asking for change in the past, and now seeks to change his perspective. He finds meaning in the warmth of the sun and symbols of growth and healing that are all around him. The song ends on an uplifting and positive note with the repetition of "Searching for Freedom" - emphasizing the need for persistence and an unwavering spirit to achieve the desired state of mind.
