Freedom Fighters (English) Lyrics
with the Statue of Un-liberty
Take the rudder, boy.
and ram us (not into a building) into this age
Without even sparing a thought on the freedoms we DO have
it's "please please please"
spending money we don't have, every last penny
Isn't that also freedom?
so, will you also sell that freedom?
... then, what in the world is freedom anyway?
when you close your eyes, blue sky
when you reach out, there is freedom
on days it gets cloudy and starts to rain,
let's take a trip up the rainbow,
it's sunny above the clouds.
Break it down, Break Kingdom...
Isn't that what we need freedom for?
so, will we then buy freedom back again?
... in the end, where exactly is freedom?
You say 'freedom' this and 'freedom' that
but what's that sitting right next to you?
shining, glimmering, haha
love this song. I love his irony and sarcasm. I think he's definately on point with what we all call "freedom".
love Miyavi.
i love the sarcasm in the song, but this song makes a HUGE point. "Freedom of Blame! Freedom of Abuse! spending money we don't have, every last penny"
sounds like a certain president no?
this describes "freedom' perfectly! we dont really have "freedom". "freedom" doesnt exist in this world. we'll never have it and it'll never exist.
i think myv dont get enough comments on this site ^^;; well..like most others who commented, i love this song...says a lot about "freedom" doesn't it XD
as for the meaning, i think it is clear to most - it's a sarcastic attack on what many people like to call "freedom"...
imo the two main ideas miyavi seems to address is...well firstly, many people complain about their lack of freedom - but in reality there's a lot of things they are "free" to do... "You say 'freedom' this and 'freedom' that but what's that sitting right next to you?"
the second one is that many people fight for "freedom" and "rights" but in the end, the people "high up"(like, corrupt governors for example) will abuse the "freedom." "Freedom of Blame! Freedom of Abuse! spending money we don't have, every last penny"
well...in the end, everybody has a different stance on freedom and rights, so i believe everybody will interpret this song a little differently, but the main idea is usually the same - that "freedom" isn't the best thing on earth..that the concept of rights and freedom gets misused...that "freedom" is usually taken for granted.
everything is just in my opinion >.< don't flame me if it's "wrong" or something meep
