"Free" lyrics

Rumi (EJAE) & JINU (Andrew Choi) Lyrics

"Free"
(from "K-Pop Demon Hunters" soundtrack)

I tried to hide but something broke
I tried to sing, couldn't hit the notes
The words kept catching in my throat
I tried to smile, I was suffocating though
But here with you, I can finally breathe
You say you're no good, but you're good for me
I've been hoping to change, now I know we can change
But I won't if you're not by my side

Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
All the secrets that keep me in chains and
All the damage that might make me dangerous
You got a dark side, guess you're not the only one
What if we both tried fighting what we're running from?
We can't fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?

We could be free
Free
We can't fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past 'til it's weightless

Ooh, time goes by, and I lose perspective
Yeah, hope only hurts, so I just forget it
But you're breaking through all the dark in me
When I thought that nobody could
And you're waking up all these parts of me
That I thought were buried for good

Between imposter and this monster
I been lost inside my head
Ain't no choice when all these voices
Keep me pointing towards no end
It's just easy when I'm with you
No one sees me the way you do
I don't trust it, but I want to
I keep coming back to

Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
We can't fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?

We could be free
Free
We can't fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past 'til it's weightless

Oh, so take my hand, it's open
Free, free
What if we heal what's broken?
Free, free

I tried to hide, but something broke
I couldn't sing, but you give me hope
We can't fix it if we never face it
Let the past be the past 'til it's weightless


With "Free", Rumi and JINU express their feeling. According to the film's producer Ian Eisendrath, "There are great walls between them and the whole thing is 'What would it be like if we could be together and free? Because right now, we're not.' They even hatch the plan that they're going to work together to eliminate the demon within them. At this moment, their idea of how to do this is wrong, but we're rooting for the fact that they both want to do this. And it's the moment that you really believe these two are going to end up together."
