CD PROJEKT RED, Dawid Podsiadło, P.T. Adamczyk – Phantom Liberty lyrics | Matchlyric

Verse 1
Found out
Treasures are always lost
Pleasures and rage combined
I’m watchin’ you
Be careful with your moves
Tonight, I think the time is right
I think the blood has dried
It cries for more
So what are we waiting for?

Chorus 1
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
It feels like a game
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)

Verse 2
Lights out, is this who you really are?
Can’t look into your eyes
Your twisted mind
It’s dark, so dark
We end it now
It ends right here, right now
Please tell me you brought the iron
Let’s light up the sky
And fade into the night

Chorus 1
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
It feels like a game
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)

Bridge
The days when it was good are gone (*Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah*)
I’m tryna see what it was for, but I’ll never know (*Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah*)
And though it’s dead, I hear the call (*Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah, nah*)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus 2
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
You can’t escape
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)
You can’t escape
(I’m just tired of lookin’ the other way)

Outro
I found out
Treasures are always lost
Pleasures are long forgotten
Who are you now?

Appreciation

“Phantom Liberty” by Dawid Podsiadło & P.T. Adamczyk explores themes of lost treasures, suppressed emotions, and the feeling of being trapped. The lyrics suggest a sense of danger and caution, urging the listener to be careful with their actions and movements. The line “I think the blood is dried, it cries for more” implies a craving for intensity and stimulation. There is an underlying desire to break free from a stagnant and monotonous existence.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape. Wires and chains symbolize constraints and limitations, while the mention of fading suggests a loss of vitality or passion. The lyrics portray life as a game that one must play, even if it feels repetitive and meaningless. It hints at the idea that one may feel trapped by circumstances beyond their control.

In the second verse, the lyrics delve into the darkness within someone’s mind. The narrator’s inability to look into the eyes of another person suggests a lack of trust or fear of confronting their true intentions. There is a desire to bring an end to this twisted and oppressive situation, as indicated by the line “We end it now, it ends right here, right now.” The idea of fading into the moon signifies a longing for escape or transcendence.

The bridge reflects on the loss of better days and the frustration of not fully understanding the purpose behind certain experiences. The mention of hearing the clock suggests an awareness of time passing and the need to take action. Overall, “Phantom Liberty” depicts a struggle with confinement, questioning the meaning of existence, and a yearning for freedom and liberation.
