Free Lyrics with Guitar Chords (Rumi and Jinu) Kpop Demon Hunters OST

Free Lyrics

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus
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?

Post-Chorus
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

Verse 3
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

Verse 4
Between imposter and this monster, I've 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

Chorus
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?

Post-Chorus
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

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

Outro
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

A Deeper Dive into the Song: Free by Rumi and Jinu Lyrics Meaning

Free is a ballad performed by Rumi and Jinu from the film Kpop Demon Hunters. This is where they make a connection for having something in common: not being free to be themselves and feeling like being in prison. Free also serves as something like a love song between the two.

Verse 1

This is a reference to Rumi’s struggle earlier in the film, especially during the song “Golden”, where it was shown her trying to hide the demon marks on her skin and her voice cracking whenever she tried to sing a high note. This symbolizes her struggle to fight her inner demon and fulfill her duty as a demon hunter and protector of mankind.

Rumi expresses that when she’s with Jinu, she can fully be herself because he understands her struggles, and she doesn’t have to keep her secret from him.

Verse 2

Jinu has a dark past that he keeps hidden and tries to forget. He feels like he’s only purpose is to serve Gwi-Ma, but Rumi is making him see the light and realize there’s more to him.

Pre-Chorus

Jinu sees himself as an impostor and a monster for hiding what really happened in his past from Rumi. Jinu sold his soul to Gwi-Ma in exchange for a beautiful voice and fame, but in return, he is bound to serve Gwi-Ma forever because Gwi-Ma controls Jinu’s mind. Gwi-Ma puts voices in Jinu’s head, and the former is also the only one who can control them. With Rumi, he gets hope that Gwi-Ma can be defeated and he can be fixed.

Chorus and Post-Chorus

Rumi and Jinu feel hopeful that they can be fixed if they help each other defeat Gwi-Ma. They feel safe with each other, and things are easier.
