You Are Free Lyrics
I had a dream last night
That we lost the fight
I had a reason to stay in the back of my head
Still, I have to say goodbye
Here, in this bed
Free
You are free
Free
You are free
You oughta lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Your hands they know
We're nearing the end
Free
You are free
Free
You are free
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
You are free
You are free
Living things need to be free
You are free
Like everything wants to be
That we lost the fight
I had a reason to stay in the back of my head
Still, I have to say goodbye
Here, in this bed
You are free
Free
You are free
Covered in packs of snow
Lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
We're nearing the end
You are free
Free
You are free
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
You are free
Living things need to be free
You are free
Like everything wants to be

I really love this song. I'm not sure what it means, probably a break up or something... all I know is that it's good but it has to grow on your first.
I think this song is about the african slave trade
I knew that it wasn't just: "Your hands they know We're nearing the end"
So I listened to the song, and this is what I came up with. it may night be accurate, but it's pretty close:
you oughta lay down low covered in packs of snow
guy: i had a dream last night that we were walking in fright covered up all the years that soon became clear and got all the tears we can cry
girl: with arms below ............keep you warm covered hands they know ......................................
we're nearing the end
The song talks about being "covered in packs of snow", then after that it mentions the hands being covered and warm. It makes me think that although she thinks he should be buried in snow, he should still be warm. It's as if she's mad at him for having to break up and she wants him out of her sight, but she still wants him to be happy.
I like this.

I think it's about that moment in a relationship when you realize that, although breaking up seems the hardest thing to do, it is the only way you can both be really happy in the end.
