| Bowerbirds – House of Diamonds Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| to me this song is about a person who feels imprisoned by society's expectations. she sees people close to her (the sister), go and get married and do the sorts of things that are expected of them, but this is not what she wants for her own life. but the chorus "you are free, you are already free" talks about how her individuality and lack of desire to settle down with a "nice young man" the way society says she should is not actually a mindset that should make her feel imprisoned, but a mindset that she is actually free from society's stupid ways and can see beyond things like greed and so rather than feeling "shackled" and alienated, she should feel empowered to be a part of society to change it. | |
