“No Parallels (Unbridled)” is about letting go of society’s expectations and learning how to be wild and free again.
This is the eight track from Hands Like Houses' sophomore album Unimagine.
In September 2014, the band revisited “No Parallels (Unbridled)” in their EP, Reimagine. The song was rena...
[Intro]
This is happiness
To be everything at once
Be unblinded, be unlearned
Be unbridled and unburned
[Verse 1]
Heavy on our heels
The rocky ground we leave behind
Tassels streaming from our necks
We cast awake amidst the wind
We're the roamers to the road
Barebacked, spirit and in mind
[Refrain]
Oh, to be free like this
[Chorus]
This is happiness
To be everything at once
Be unblinded, be unlearned
Be unbridled and unburned
This is happiness
I'm fearless and I'm free
With the open road and the world beneath my feet
[Verse 2]
With splinters in our teeth
We're driven from our parallels
Our path a prison, bound to walk
Where countless feet already fell
But there's a wildness in our heart
That we've forgotten in our march
[Refrain]
All to be free like this
[Chorus]
This is happiness
To be everything at once
Be unblinded, be unlearned
Be unbridled and unburned
This is happiness
I'm fearless and I'm free
With the open road and the world beneath my feet
[Bridge]
We're branded and we're burdened
From the moment we are born
We're domestic and we're discontent
And we're grinding our gums raw
Forget your feet and where they fall
Lift your head and carry on
No fear, just faith
No bend, just break the path
And let it lead you
Unknown, unblind
Run free, run wild
And leave behind what holds you down
[Pre-Chorus]
Heavy on our heels
The rocky ground we leave behind
[Chorus]
This is happiness
To be everything at once
Be unblinded, be unlearned
Be unbridled and unburned
This is happiness
I'm fearless and I'm free
With the open road and the world beneath my feet
[Refrain]
Oh, to be free like this

This song is about ambition and choices, as well as a statement of contentment in our path and direction. Everyone lives under expectations, of themselves or of others, and we largely live in a society where those in authority over the last few generations have tried to domesticate us. I think a cor...
