Set me Free

(Angélica Marinho)

"Set me Free" is a song about overcoming a loss and internal struggle. The song talks about how difficult it is to adjust to a new life without your loved ones, while at the same time there is a metaphor about depression and how we fight daily against dark thoughts and how we want to free ourselves from them.

(verse I)
I’m on my own, trying to find my way back home
I’m running from time, slowly sinking
I’m trying to fight, with my eyes open wide
Slowly blinking
It’s getting too hard, and I don’t know why
But I keep swinging 

(pre-chorus)
I don’t know why (I don’t know why) 
But I keep running away from time (running from time) 
Just give me a moment so I can breath
When is this gonna end? 

(chorus)
I just need a moment, I just need a minute
To learn how to live without you
I need to be patient and I need the distance
To be the beginning of something new

I just need a moment, I just need a minute
To learn how to live without you
I need to be patient and I need the distance (to set me free)

(verse II)
I’m out here alone, the silence inside has overgrown
Trying to fight, slowly sinking
Another restless night, lost in the dark side 
Overthinking 
It’s getting too hard, but I still can fight
So, I keep kicking!

(pre-chorus)
I don’t know why (I don’t know why) 
But I keep running away from time (running from time) 
Just give me a moment so I can breath
When is this gonna end? 

(chorus)
I just need a moment, I just need a minute
To learn how to live without you
I just need a second and I need the seasons
To show me that we are really through

I just need a moment, I just need a minute
To learn how to live without you
I need to be patient and I need the distance

(bridge)
I don’t know why I keep running from time
These memories, still haunting me
Is it over? Is it over?
Set me free
Just set me free
Just set me free

Metaphor

By Melanie Thompson

When you've been with someone for years, seeming to have had a real love connection and then break up, it's hard to grasp. Let alone explain to someone else what happened. Lyrics often use metaphors to describe break-ups. This is how I use a metaphor to describe mine.

She'll Never Be Mine

By Brian Hendrix

A lovelorn song about a guy who's crazy about a girl, but she's already with somebody, and he knows that she'll never be his. That doesn't make him want her any less, but he's nevertheless aware of the fact that reality is what it is. To him, it's beyond just wanting her; he needs her.
