release me Lyrics

i am the wilderness locked in a cage
i am a growing force you kept in place
i am a tree reaching for the sun
please dont hold me down
please dont hold me down
i am a rolling wave without the motion
a glass of water longing for the ocean
i am an asphalt flower breaking free
but you keep stopping me
release me
release me
i am the rain that's coming down on you
that you shielded yourself from with a roof
i am the fire burning desperately
but you're controlling me
release me
release me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is such a great song. i heard it in the Saab ad and I wondered for ages what song it was and yesterday I found out. I've had it on repeat all day. It's so good, it's good for me how it says things about breaking free from things that have been holding you down.

This song has really hit home for me twice.

The first was a relationship I just couldn't get out of.

The second was a job where I was constantly being told my job wasn't good enough, even after working my ass of and going the extra mile.

This song makes me want to shoot a load.

Like the little sperms in my balls are begging me to release them.
