Free Mind

Song by Tems

4 mins • 2020

Free Mind by Tems expresses the struggles with overcoming depression and bad thoughts clouding one’s mind. Once again, Tems was able to use her musical and lyrical skills to explain what it means to be on the other side of the world.

With its soft piano keys and a thumping bass, Free Mind can create that atmosphere of warmth and a deep sense of acceptance, making one bop his or her head in agreement with what the singer says.

Intro
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, my mind
Yeah, yeah, my mind

Verse
I said 5 in the morning
I wake up to fight for my earnings
Fear in my mind is a warning
Pray to the one you rely in
I've been wandering all day
I try to be fine but I can't be
The noise in my mind wouldn't leave me
I try to get by but I'm burning

Pre-Chorus
And behind my mind it runs
All these thoughts of troubling
Fighting to give up my pain
Fighting to be on my lane
My mind running to the other side
When it's time to live my life
Then it tries to take me out
Tell you what I need right here

Chorus
I really need, I really need time now
I really need, I need a free mind now
I really need, I really need mine now
I really need, I need to free my mind now
I really need, I really need time now
I really need, I need a free mind now
I really need mind now uhh yeah

Verse
This is the peace that you cannot buy
Send me a love that you cannot mix
One is the joy that you cannot waste
And the other one price that you cannot fix
This is the peace that you cannot buy
Finding a way, when you cannot see
Man will desist if he cannot pray
I need to find release

Pre-Chorus
But behind my mind it runs
All these thoughts of troubling
Fighting to give up my pain
Fighting to be on my lane
My mind running to the other side
When it's time to live my life
Then it tries to take me out
Tell you what I need right here

Chorus
I really need, I really need mine now
I really need, I need a free mind now
I really need, I really need time now
I really need, I need to free my mind now
I really need, I really need time now
I really need, I need a free mind now
I really need, I really need time now oh yeah

So set me free
Freer than the open mind
Farther than the eyes can handle
Freer than the ocean now
Yeah yeah
So set me free
Now I need to find release
Send me to the open sky
Now I need to free my mind
Yeah

Outro
I might be falling deep
I might be falling deep
I might be falling deep
I might be falling deep
Tell me now what you need
I've been going to God
When I'm all in my mind
I might be falling deep

Verse
Falling deep

Outro
I might be falling
I might be falling
I might be falling
I might be falling yeah
