I'm So Free Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rhizzla 

Cover art for I'm So Free lyrics by Lou Reed

i used to think this was autobiographical too but i had a realisation

now - especially if you listen to the whole album - most of it is sorta reporting from the streets not really autobiog and i now think this song is another of lou's critiques of a subculture/stereotype

its about hippies - i dont think lou really likes hippies

hes ny east coast and hippies tend to be more west coast california

(ive never been to usa in my life - but you know what im mean;)

hes taking the piss outa hippie- types in the song its quite a well crafted funny song if looked at like this

he's really ripping it going ooh look at me - im so free la de da de da da!!!!!
