“Free Me” is the 9th track on Savage Hills Ballroom by Youth Lagoon.
The title of the song suggests that the narrator is imprisoned, or constricted in some way. As anxiety is a common theme in Trevor’s work, it would seem as though the thing that is trapping him is his mind and anxious thoughts.
[Verse 1:]
Burning up the chimney
Shots, suspicions fully gone
Nobody does truly on their own
On their own
The earthquakes your voice creates
A silence to my home
Nobody does truly on their own
On their own
[Chorus:]
I've been caught in the water
Since I turned 8 years old
What started as a spark
Burned down the household
Free me, free me
I've felt heaviness creep
Since I turned 8 years old
What started as a affection
Took over the world
Free me, free me
[Verse 2:]
As the roof caves in
Embers light my skin
Lying on the floor undressed
The taste of green tea
Drips onto my cracked lips
From the table by the bed
Holy white (holy white) [x2]
Shield my head from the sun
Holy white (holy white) [x2]
Shield my head from the sun
[Chorus]
