@@cindymaxa942 Yeah, I shown some of powerman 5000's and other metal artist's songs to few of my friends.. They said they like it despite it isn't something they would usually listen to.. So I consider the other fans including us who listen to this really lucky, because this music taste is pretty unique and powerful, making us more unique and creative. 🤘

[@101jir]

This song actually makes a good explanation for people who are spoiled. They are free to do what they want, but they dont know who they are or let themselves see what they need to see.

[@StoneWeevil]

To expand on that line of thought, I've always interpreted the "can't see what you need to see" bit as taking things for granted; when you have it all, you don't stop to think about the needs or wants of others

[@JanoyCresva]

@@StoneWeevil I always thought it was about working a lame job when you can be whatever you want. So you're living free but are you really "FREE" since you cant do what you want. YOu cant see what you need to see inside a factory or cubical.

[@banderas2000]

i think it's talking about being your truself. despite what others think. speaking your mind. not being afraid to disagree. have different opinions . not having to smile if u don't feel like it. to pretend to like something you don't/

[@101jir]

@banderas2000 I feel like that is also a big part. Sometimes even if we are free, we choose not to be, since we are too anxious of consequences that may not even be real

[@StarPlatinumV]

Hey, Powerman 5000, I bought this album on day one. I was so sad when I saw critics rip this album into pieces. At first listen, I just enjoyed the music. Then, I went back and studied the lyrics. This is a really deeply written album. Case in point: FREE is a great song with deep meaning. Are we as Americans really free? I haven't felt free in a long time. Every tv, film, media and so is trying to control how we think. As a result, my generation truly feels lost. We are so connect with smart phones, social media and bs... that we have become slave. There are a lot of really great tracks on the whole album. It is very personal and I hold it in high regard. Thank you powerman 5000. I appreciate this art.

I’ve been listening to this song a lot since I’ve got out of the military.I’m surviving fine and well but that’s all I’ve really been doing. I need to be living on top of surviving. What is the point of being free if you can’t be what you want to be. So push a little harder work harder so you can really live free. That’s my two cents for anyone out there trying to get ahead.

[@gwarriorfromhell]

I remember all my friends who liked Powerman back in the day HATED this album when it came out. I was the only one amongst us that seriously loved it. Still to this day, it's great.

[@JCordoba1001]

gwarriorfromhell it was ok, but it wasn’t the same. I remember this and Sevendust seasons really disappointing me around the same time. Both albums took time to digest

Best track on the album

[@SithCats]

I really hated this album at the time too. I even went so far as to join their forum with the name UnTransform. Free eventually grew on me (the rest of the album not so much), but it still doesn't touch the heights of TTSR or Anyone For Doomsday for me.

This came out at the same time I graduated high school. Back then, we were listening to bands like Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Disturbed, Static X, Godsmack, and these guys, while burning CDs, and chatting with friends on AIM. Those were some of the greatest moments in my life.

We all have to figure that out sometime. My first memory of that was music related. It was when my parents got divorced in the early 80s and I ran off with a friend to see Black Flag. At the show they played a ten minute obnoxious song that was supposed to drive out anyone who wasn't a fan. I thought about life during that song.

As a teenager I never really cared about the lyrics of this song, I just liked the sound. Listening to this now, I'm actually surprised this holds up so well. It's not like it's some life changing revelation, but somehow this feels really sincere in opposite to so many other lyrics.
