Notes
Tim Simenon said in the Depeche Mode special of Classic Pop magazine, published on 1 August 2019:
There must have been seven or eight versions of "Freestate". We were throwing so many ideas at it, then we thought, "Hang on, let's put the faders up and work out what's working and what isn't." It's amazing what you can do by turning things up or down!
Lyrics
Freestate
I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show
Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow
Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow
Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
