Freedom

From Portals2020

Written by Empara Mi, Sub Focus, Wilkinson

Lyrics

Freedom

[Verse 1]

I have been waiting, another smile

I have been fading without you

The air's getting warmer, the walls are closing in

Days feelin' longer without you

[Pre-Chorus]

What if we just keep our eyes closed?

We can dream that we're on an open road

Another place, another time

We can leave it all behind right now

[Chorus]

So where you gonna be when this

Freedom, freedom

Freedom comes?

Where you gonna be when this

Freedom, freedom

Freedom comes?

[Post-Chorus]

So where you gonna be when this

Freedom, freedom

Freedom comes?

Where you gonna be when this

Freedom, freedom

Freedom comes?

[Verse 2]

I have been waiting, another smile

Sub Focus on Dork

Where to start with Kneecap’s electronic collaborations and remixes

From Paul Hartnoll’s ‘Sayōnara’ to Shanti Celeste’s ‘Cold At The Top’ rework, a route through Kneecap’s club-facing releases beyond their albums.

How Kneecap turned confrontation with the British state into ‘FENIAN’ and ‘No Comment’

Across ‘No Comment’ and ‘FENIAN’, Kneecap turned a public battle into songs about pressure, spectacle, language and resistance.
