Rudd, Xavier - Set Me Free Lyrics






This place called reno, things unforseen
Built on hopeless foundations of lies and deceit
We stand in this river completely unknown
The sacred Lake Tahoe has truth in it's flow
Ancestors work slowly with things we must see

And I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
I know what I know, and I see what I see
Will you set me free
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

And I sink down below, the surface is rage
Holding on to a boulder, surrender with grace
And I think of my first-born, these times and his place
And his beauty and wisdom and all gentle ways
Watches over his brother, like the lion he is

And he knows what he knows, and he sees what he sees
Would you set me free
The feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
And I know what I know, and I see what I see
Would you set me free
And I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

Young lazy French kid who ruined our world
With the ways of his father passed through his bones
Was it once was it twice was it nothing at all
It was inside my temple it was inside my home
And I look in this mirror with patience and grief

And I know what I know, and I see what I see
Would you set me free
And I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
And I know what I know, and I see what I see
Would you set me free
Let me fly
My feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

Gave my heart to you
Gave me soul to you
Gave it all to you
On my knees
Gave my heart to you
Gave me soul to you
Gave it all to you
On my knees

Rising up (set me free), falling down
Rising up, falling down
Rising up (set me free), falling down (let me fly)
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free

    "Young lazy French kid who ruined our world
    With the ways of his father passed through his bones" .. anyone get the reference? what lazy french kid? o.0

    Came here looking for the same answer, and didn't find it, so I did some digging:

    Gold was discovered in the vicinity of Virginia City in 1850, and a modest mining community developed, but the discovery of silver in 1859 at the Comstock Lode led to a mining rush, and thousands of emigrants left their homes, bound for the West, hoping to find a fortune. To provide the necessary connection between Virginia City and the California Trail, Charles W. Fuller built a log toll bridge across the Truckee River in 1859. A small community that would service travelers soon grew up near the bridge. After two years, Fuller sold the bridge to Myron C. Lake, who continued to develop the community with the addition of a grist mill, kiln, and livery stable to the hotel and eating house. He renamed it "Lake's Crossing". In 1864, Washoe County was consolidated with Roop County, and Lake's Crossing became the largest town in the county. Lake had earned himself the title "founder of Reno....

    Fuller is a word that was probably introduced by the Norman French after the Conquest of England in 1066 (so, it seems Fuller is a French name, maybe?). The Truckee River that he built the bridge over flows out of Lake Tahoe, mentioned in the song. The river flows into the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, so there's probably something there...

    For those old enough to remember.. 'I know what I know, I see what I see' in combination to the style of music and more specific the bassline is a bloody brilliant, if not the best ever, homage to Paul Simon's Graceland. One of the best albums ever recorded on this planet.
