Lyrics of Freyr – New Man
The fall and rise of the promise of potential
I looked me in the eye, and I saw only inner tension
The hallways with advice spiked on the walls
I’ve read them all and I know them all by heart
So back off now, I don’t need more decoration
I’ll build my own home, house, world and protection
A parking garage filled with ways to escape
Maybe I’ll take a car, maybe you’ll all watch me
Fly, the wings I’ve built with my own two hands
And I know that you’re waiting
For an honest man to
Step into my old shoes
We used to live uncanny lives
We were one but we were two
You said we weren’t growing
I knew you’d never make me complete
Darling it’s me, its all on me, on me on me
And this is me trying to keep you
And this is me saying I need you
So please
Let me learn to fly again
On strong winds, grey clouds, are all around me
The one great trip we’re all supposed to make
Some people I meet, they say they’ve been here forever
I’m not
Here for myself, don’t wanna play in the puddle
Don’t wanna choose the wrong star when I’mma navigate
Don’t wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain
I am a new man
Push and pull is a call for desperation
The overwhelming noise is just a part of generation
The autumn comes and gives new color to all
A new way to see a new perspective to be
And I am proud to see the size of it all
One day I looked out, far, deep in the horizon
To an empty place but it was all in myself
A seed fell down, you told me this is the time to
Fly, the wings I’ve built with my two hands
And I know that you’re waiting
For an honest man to
Step into my old shoes
I know that you’re waiting for me to
Keep the promises I made you
We tried to open unlocked doors
Thought this’ easy, just one more
You said this ain’t working and you’re right
That guy could never please you
What a fool, he’s just a fool, a fool, a fool
Now this is me trying the right way
And this is me choosing the hard way, for you
I’ll learn to fly again
On strong winds, grey clouds are all around me
The one great trip we’re all supposed to make
Some people I meet, they say they’ve been here forever
I’m not
Here for myself, don’t wanna play in the puddle
Don’t wanna choose the wrong star when I’mma navigate
Don’t wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain
I am
On strong winds, grey clouds are all around me
The one great trip we’re all supposed to make
Some people I meet, they say they’ve been here forever
I’m not
Here for myself, don’t wanna play in the puddle
Don’t wanna choose the wrong star when I’mma navigate
Don’t wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain
I am a new man
Some people I meet, they say they’ve been here forever
I am a new man
