Phantom Liberty is a hauntingly beautiful song by Dawid Podsiadlo that delves into the illusive nature of freedom. It explores how we are often manipulated and exploited for our talents, making true liberty an elusive dream.
Verse 1:
Whispers in the dark, promises fly,
Freedom's just a phantom, a glimmer in the eye.
Chasing shadows, losing time,
All these golden chains, they're yours and mine.
Chorus:
Phantom liberty, just a ruse to believe,
We saw the open sky, but never did we breathe.
Beneath the surface, the truth revealed,
We're just puppets, manipulated shields.
Verse 2:
Dreams of open fields, horizons so wide,
But the strings they pull, no place to hide.
They praise our talents, but chain our soul,
In this vast world, there's no control.
Chorus:
Phantom liberty, just a ruse to believe,
We saw the open sky, but never did we breathe.
Beneath the surface, the truth revealed,
We're just puppets, manipulated shields.
Bridge:
Oh, they talk of freedom, in sweet melody,
But behind the curtain, lost in their decree.
Our skills, our art, they take and bind,
And in this prison, our spirits confined.
Chorus:
Phantom liberty, just a ruse to believe,
We saw the open sky, but never did we breathe.
Beneath the surface, the truth revealed,
We're just puppets, manipulated shields.
Outro:
So here we stand, in chains unseen,
Living the illusion, of a freedom so keen.
Phantom liberty, forever out of reach,
In this grand facade, they silently preach.
