Cut The Cord Lyrics

(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)
Cut it!
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)

Let me tell you, I'm vicious
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse
Staring straight into a hole and I'mma get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I got a way of making noise
The power to destroy with no static

Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten
Just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) cut the cord!
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)

You gotta feel the courage
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered
But it's not, because it's your obsession
Be a fighter, backbone, desire
Complicated and it stings
But we both know what it means
And it's time to get real and inspired

Now victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten
Just count to ten, just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can you witness (witness)
'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

Cut it!
Cut it!

'Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten
Just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can you witness? (Witness)
'Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord!

(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) cut the cord!
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me, me, me)

What is the Meaning of Cut The Cord?

To me it means we all go thrpugh life with people and others grabbing on to us trying to pull us down even when we leave and get rid of them it feels like there still stuck to us so we have to sever the tie / cut the chord and be free from such things

Although the chorus included the word "freedom" on repeat the verses are quite aggressive, leading me to believe that is a somewhat unorthodox not pacifist way of declaring your passion and longing for peace.

The song is brutally honest, its about the fact that being dependent on other things that hold you back is like selfharm/suicide (as in the line "Switchblad on the edge of your wrist") and that you need to break away from those bonds to truely live freely as yourself (as stated in the lines "Don't be a casualty, Cut the Cord")
