They said: Boy, you’ve got the world in your hands Be careful when you choose one of these plans You’re free, you’re footloose! They promised a lot All doors stand open – No, they do not! How could you know what it means to be free When you were born into a cage holding you down on your knees Where everyone is content with living a lie No reflection, no worries, just passing the time Classified by strangers who decide The way you waste your life until the day you die It’s so hard to step out of society’s shadows No chance to break out when no one really knows It’s just simulated freedom And no one's bothered about it I won’t wait until death sets me free I want to live my life in unrestricted peace
2.
I turn my back once again and again I’m losing direction, almost going insane The world is blurring in front of my eyes Try to find stability in the chaos of life So many options, let’s give them a try Don’t know where to stand until you reach for the sky And fall down and stand up again and again Strike a new path before you get lost in a dead end There’s one thing I recognized It takes time to find your purpose in life Leave it behind There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself a try But be sure to be judged, you have to defy It takes nothing to fit their damn expectations But it takes courage to step beyond the line
3.
Chasing answers every single day We clutch at idols and glorify their ideals No trust, no faith, no glory, I just believe in myself This is the dream that we wish would come true Self-confident minds with a wide open view Inspiration is meant for lighting the spark But the foundation lies deep inside of your heart A youth without leaders, a youth without rules A youth with the aim to overpower these fools
4.
I always wanted a place to feel What life is like apart from square ideals I thought I found it inside these walls But what I found was all false We’re falling into the same routine Because everyone’s lacking self esteem The same rules we tried to shake off The tiring repetition that made us feel lost Hiding under a new coat, it’s not gone yet I know it’s hard but we have to change it inside our heads I’m free, I’m free, I’m free From monotony, from repetition of the same story I’m free, I’m free, I’m free To change direction and to change our ideals Let’s strip off the laws that we have given ourselves Recognize the potential of new ideas, make us well Since everyone is afraid of standing out Worn out patterns bringing us down
5.
I don’t claim the right to tell you what to do or what to say or how to act I understand that you and I are following different tracks Live and let live All the things that you detest are just reflections of yourself You found your own identity in disregarding liberty Can’t you stand the difference between your fucking life and mine? It’s not just black and white but you don’t think outside the lines Live and let live I don’t mind where you found your place I know that everyone has got something to say Your state of mind is the only thing I care about No need for structures that won’t let us break out All the things that you detest are just reflections of yourself I want you to think outside the lines!
6.
I won’t look back and I don’t care for tomorrow Feel my feet on the ground and get rid of the sorrows I’m no longer a leaf in the bitter wind Found a place to stay, to feel and to think And I turn inside out to let things go No more holding back, nothing to hide I face anxieties and speak my mind Sick of failure, tired of giving in Boiling anger underneath my skin And I turn inside out to let things go I am no longer a leaf in the wind I turn the page and become the man I have never been I promise I will let things go
