I'm Free Now Lyrics
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great I'm really just a fuck-up
And It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Free to look out the window
Free to live my story
Free to sing along
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great but I'm really just a fuck-up
It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache inside
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
This song is clearly about drugs, as most of Sandman's songs were. This song is about quitting drugs and being free to do anything he absolutely wanted to. When one quits a powerful substance, there is a liberating feeling. A feeling similar to that of having handcuffs taken off. "There's something going on that makes my guts ache inside,"is a reference to the stomach aches that dope sickness induces. It literally makes your guts ache and your stomach feel like knives are stabbing it. He's got "guilt, fear, regret,"etc., because of the things he did when he used the drugs, but now he is free to do as he pleases. He feels like he was trapped by the drugs, and the last thing he wanted to do was cause his REAL woman pain... but he couldn't help it bc of his addiction. It's a sad song but it is undoubtedly about addiction
this is my favorite morphine song. it has gotten me through some very difficult times. RIP mark sandman... i'm so fortunate to have seen them live @ lollapalooza '97 in phoenix. i love all of their music. morphine kicks ass.
I agree. I saw them at the Trocadero in Philly. A very small venue, and one of the greatest shows I've seen. Such an amazing band.
He screwed up, they split up. Now he is free from the relationship but feels pretty bad about himself.
The one thing I find interesting is that "the last thing I want to do is cause you pain" is present and not past tense.
It's about a feeling of being so close with a woman that you don't have to pretend to be someone you are not deep in your soul and then you become free.
