Set Me Free Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
In October I got close to giving up
I fell on my hands and knees and screamed that’s enough
Cause I brought life into this world I sacrificed
I laid my roots down deep and it's my time to rise
So I will face my demons, every single one
And even when the wolves come out I won’t run
Cause I am done with people pleasing, playing small
Love me as I am or don’t love me at all
I don’t really care what you say what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don’t care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
There were days I didn’t even know myself
So ashamed thought I should be like someone else
And my whole life they told I need thicker skin
But thicker skin only kept all my fire and all my passion in
I don’t really care what you say what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don’t care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Oooo, oooo, oooo
And I almost lost my mind
Holding everything inside
Cause my hands were always tied
But tonight they’re in the sky
I don’t really care what you say what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don’t care who you want me to be
I don’t really care what you say what you think about me
I lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don’t care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
Oooo, oooo, oooo
Look at me, this is the night I set me free
Look at me, this is the night I set me free
[Verse 1: Rachel Platten]
In the first verse, Rachel reflects on a moment of deep despair, where she almost gave up under the weight of her responsibilities and expectations. She acknowledges the sacrifices she has made, particularly as a mother, and the strength she has drawn from those experiences. This verse sets the stage for her determination to confront her inner demons and face the challenges ahead, signifying a pivotal shift from a place of vulnerability to empowerment.
[Chorus: Rachel Platten]
The chorus is a bold proclamation of Rachel's newfound strength and self-assurance. She declares that she no longer cares about others' opinions or attempts to mold her into someone she is not. This section emphasizes her liberation from the pressure to please others, marking a decisive moment where she prioritizes her well-being and authenticity over societal expectations.
[Verse 2: Rachel Platten]
In the second verse, Rachel delves into her past struggles with self-identity, where she felt lost and ashamed of who she was. The societal demand for "thicker skin" only served to suppress her true passions and desires. This verse highlights the internal conflict she experienced and her realization that conforming to others' ideals only stifled her spirit.
[Bridge: Rachel Platten]
The bridge represents a moment of catharsis for Rachel, as she recalls the mental toll of trying to satisfy everyone else while neglecting her own needs. The imagery of her hands being tied symbolizes the restrictions she felt, but now, those ties are broken as she reaches for the sky, signifying her liberation and the reclaiming of her power.
[Outro: Rachel Platten]
The outro brings the song to a triumphant close, with Rachel reaffirming her decision to set herself free. She invites others to witness her transformation, boldly stating that this is the night she claims her freedom. The repetition of this declaration reinforces her unwavering commitment to living her truth and embracing her true self, no matter the cost.
