Set me free
Cut the strings
Break the ties and leave it all behind.
Set me free
I got the news
The strings are loose, I've taken back my life.
We built a ranch on Mars
Tried to live among the stars
But the fire came and burnt
The whole place down.
Set me free
It's haunting me
The memories I constantly relive.
Set me free
Begin again
Heal the wounds, I'm learning to forgive.
We built a ranch on mars
There were way too many scars
And the floods came and they washed
It all away...
Cut the strings
Break the ties and leave it all behind.
Set me free
I got the news
The strings are loose, I've taken back my life.
We built a ranch on Mars
Tried to live among the stars
But the fire came and burnt
The whole place down.
Set me free
It's haunting me
The memories I constantly relive.
Set me free
Begin again
Heal the wounds, I'm learning to forgive.
We built a ranch on mars
There were way too many scars
And the floods came and they washed
It all away...
Set me free...
Sorry in advance for returning with all parts of the lyrics instead of an excerpt hahaha but there isn't another way. It is complete as a whole!
Galactic Cowboys are the band of my life!! Who lives close to me knows this. And these people know how excited I got with their return after 17 years (Internal Masquerade is beautiful ❤️️). Influenced by heavy instrumentation like Metallica and Anthrax, and Beatles-esque vocals, it is something very unique.
This song I've chosen is part of a series named "Machine Fish Suite", from their album "At the End of the Day", which is 7 songs as total, which tell the band's history to the point of recording. The lyrics on this song, which is one of my favorite from them, you can take lots of interpretations.
The reflection I take from it is: life can bring many disappointments. We can make ton sof plans and everything goes wrong. Our past may hurt, but we have to go on. We've got to learn to forgive those who hurt us. We have to learn to forgive ourselves. And learn to live a new life. Don't get afraid of new, without forgetting the past, for it is the past that teaches us to live the future.
Free yourself from what holds you.
