Free Woman

MARINA's song "Free Woman" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience. The lyrics convey a message of inner strength and independence, emphasizing that true freedom comes from within. The opening lines, "They can touch your body / But they'll never touch your soul," set the tone for the song, highlighting the distinction between physical presence and spiritual essence. MARINA asserts that no matter how much others may try to discredit or undermine her, they cannot diminish her true self or her creative spirit.

The chorus, with its repetitive declaration, "I'm a free woman," serves as a mantra of liberation. It reinforces the idea that external circumstances and negative intentions from others cannot confine her. The line, "You can take it all / You can cheer me as I fall / But you can't extinguish me," further underscores her unbreakable spirit. MARINA's use of the word "free" repeatedly emphasizes her unwavering commitment to her autonomy and self-worth.

In the latter part of the song, MARINA reflects on the passage of time and societal pressures to maintain youthful appearances. She acknowledges that while her physical appearance may change, her essence and truth remain intact. The lyrics, "In twenty years / My face will be a shadow of my youth / They'll try erase my wrinkles / Yeah, they'll try erase my truth," highlight the superficiality of societal standards and the enduring nature of her inner freedom. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of collective resilience, "We'll never let go / Of our freedom and our hope," suggesting a shared journey towards liberation and hope for all.
