Free

about

This song is about the freedom of having no obligations. It is freeing in a melancholy way because I think we all would prefer to have attachments and people who rely on us. True freedom is letting go, no one needs you when you are falling. It's a poetic piece.

lyrics

As it all slows down like an autumn leaf floats to the ground
Like a wasp to the nest, I've been lost in the steps
Protecting the crown
Like a wave at the beach man I've said some things
That have made an impact then faded to sand
I never gave thanks for what I had in my hand
I'd give it away
Not knowing what I've had
Can't believe what I've come to understand
An I can't protect it
I feel like time only takes
Thinking why have I left it this late
I was gifted a gift that I couldn't escape
It was hard to ignore like a flash in the face
It's like that I'm awake
Alert the fact that as quick as it comes it gets taken away

You're only free
Only free when you're falling
Only free
You're only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling

I follow the fashion it's safe
I've been attached to the breaks
I freeze up I can't dream
I take a risk
I look back at mistakes
I'm slipping back into old ways
Knowing that a leap of faith
It's not tragic always
I want the safety of no change
I want the freedom of both ways
I know myself too well,
I'm attached to the faults in my hallways
In the comfort of my home
Knowing that I'll never get hurt
Just being alone
I stand still trying to counter the shakes
I run by the count hoping that it's never running out
It's hard looking at the base knowing that I never left
yet I got a taste for another breath
another day another sunset
don't want it any other way
then living with what's left
So for the time, that's gone
I'm giving thanks to the theft.

You're only free
Only free when you're falling
Only free
You're only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling

You're only free
Only free when you're falling
Only free

You're only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling
Only free when you're falling
