Free Lyrics

Manipulating masses
you talk out your asses
do you know what you say

Manufacturing passes
and everybody is asking
what we need today

I’ll bring you new
and there's no hook
I have no luck
welcome to new

I’ll bring you new
and I’ll recruit you
if you want to come with me
scream out at the top of your lungs
I want to be free
can you sing
there is no hook
we have no luck
and just for once
you suddenly you are blind
and alone with your mind
can you say I’m free?
can you say I’m free?

We understand
that it is difficult to
undo the dreams of destruction
now strongest when you know it’s true

I am asking you to go back
to the pyramidal tracks
of where you know you do not like
the knowledge that has always been imparted to you

such high and love and sweet you grow
I promise you that it’s not far
just hiding in the heart of the heart and all
embracing everything from arms to charms... yeah
I guess that crystals are beneath me
No... they’re only subliminally pushed away
we cannot read the, got to work for what
your giving in this world
fear transmission your my girls and my boys
of the days
you are not the puppets or the slaves or the toys
we are working towards the mark

nothing else makes as much sense as this
so I will continue on my mission with the risk…
to be free, come with me
and our goals are transperant to the sea
and our hearts are parentally content to me
I’m free
come with me
I’m free
come with me
I’m free

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.

perfect song on the perfect cd released at the most perfect time. I can't help but interpret this as a message to us reminding us that we used to be a certain way and have strayed very far from it but this song is reminding us to not be afraid to return to who we were, the better people we used to be.
