I Felt Free Lyrics

Nothing new to say
Nothing to report ‘cause the future happened yesterday

If I could tell the truth
I could make you stay
but forever seems so far away

I fell apart in your arms
for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me,
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free


You could be the end of me
Too many shades of gray
It’s just another pointless game that we play

I couldn’t tell the truth
I’ll never make you stay
because tomorrow always happens yesterday

I fell apart in your arms
for the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
because of the things you told me
because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free

I felt free

I will learn to live again for now I’m breaking
all the things I couldn't mend without escaping
I will learn to love again
I will learn to love
I will learn

after a first listen straight through the album, this song stuck out and is my initial favorite for the time being. the guitar part and the breakdown after the second chorus give me chills. finally able to break free of that person your world revolved around. that's what it means to me.

this is definitely my current favorite song from the album. it stuck out to me as well and after i listened to the lyrics, i couldn't stop replaying the song. what was interpreted before me, i totally agree with. i can really relate.

"You could be the end of me Too many shades of gray It's just another pointless game that we play

I couldn't tell the truth I'll never make you stay because tomorrow always happens yesterday"

i think that it obviously meant that whoever he's talking about had kept leading him on and on and in the end it just couldn't work out, it was all just a game. and no matter what he wanted to tell that person, it wouldn't matter much because they just wouldn't understand how good he might be for them? but now i'm mostly speakin bout my own experience haha.

absolutely brilliant song <3

Just saw Circa live two times (incredible both times). They played this at both shows and at the first one, Anthony said it was about being able to do whatever you want and achieving your dreams. But like most Circa songs its open for a lot more/different interpretations.

This is about someone who hurt the author of the song, and they're finally relieved to be free of their abusive grasp. I can relate.

This was my first favorite song from the album and still is after listening to is over and over and over again. The song isn't hard to figure out the meaning of. This is clearly about how the author of the song is free from a relationship but it goes much deeper into how they felt in the end of the relationship. Perhaps the person they were in the relationship with made them feel stuck, or they allowed themselves to feel that way. Eventually they found the strength to break from the relationship even though they knew it would be difficult. They were happy but they needed more. Overall, it really is a positive song, they know that love is still possible and that there is a future.

what do you guys things

"because tomorrow always happens yesterday"

means?

I think that it means that the other person in the relationship was predictable. That they always pulled the same shit all the time so that the author of this song always knew what his partner would do. And the same thing kept happening to trigger the same turn of events several times. This is part of what made the relationship so difficult.

"because tomorrow always happens yesterday" could also mean that the author has been cheated on and the future of the other person that cheated,happened yesterday.

@britknee to me what this meant was, the choices we make today will effect what happens tomorrow... when said events transpire the next day it was because the choices we made the day before. so tommorow has already happened yesterday (today) sorry if its confusing. its the best i can word it lol
