A song about the pursuit of “freedom”, in a primal sense. A reflection on our evolutionary ancestors from the moment they walked on land to when they swung from trees, and how much simpler life was in those days.
Structurally, the song fades between those moments of reminiscence in each chorus, to...
[Chorus 1]
So there I am, crawlin' from the sea
There is nothing you can take from me
‘Cause I am free
[Verse 1]
On the land of the destitute
Intellectuals will peck at you
While trying to have sex with you
Well I know that it seems impossible
Well there’s something that’s been missin'
In the way that you’ve been kissin'
Perhaps you had a vision
And you found some new religion
I know that we got so far to go
[Chorus]
So there I am, floppin' on the beach
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
There is nothing you can take from me
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
'Cause I am free
[Bridge]
Have you heard the news?
Everybody wants to murder you
[Verse 2]
You may be tempted to just burrow in
And lay down on the floor again
Close the curtains and the door again and order in
Well I know that it seems impossible
Well there’s somethin' I’ve been thinkin' of
The poison that we’re drinkin' up
Destroyin' everythin' you love
It stings me when you bring it up
I know
It was not so long ago
[Chorus 3]
So there I am, swingin' from the tree
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
There is nothin' you can take from me
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ooh, ooh-yeah-yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
'Cause I am free
[Verse 3]
Now that reminds me of this dream I have
But why should I believe in that?
I’m gonna take my freedom back
Well I know
That it seems unpossible
[Instrumental]
