On the day that you were born
They built an empire off a scream
I cant explain
Endlessly theyll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
Til the end
Til the end
Til the end
Im gonna love you 101 percent
Im gonna love you til this ends
Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You cant escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
Youre not me and never ever will you be
Im gonna find you and never run against
Im gonna find you til the end
Til the end
Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even while their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Free youre free with me
Youre free with me
They built an empire off a scream
I cant explain
Endlessly theyll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
Til the end
Til the end
Til the end
Im gonna love you 101 percent
Im gonna love you til this ends
Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You cant escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
Youre not me and never ever will you be
Im gonna find you and never run against
Im gonna find you til the end
Til the end
Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even while their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Free youre free with me
Youre free with me

Definitely a change in tempo.
The Celestials are comic book characters from the 70s. They are from another world and are basically ridiculously powerful and imposing.
As far as this song, I agree somewhat with the notion of freedom.
Part of me feels that this could be a song from someone who resents The Celestials for stepping in and saving them, because they want the freedom to save themselves. The narrator is always special K (detached, numb) to their efforts and instead focused on living their own life... rather than worshipping the all-powerful
Another part of me feels this is one of those songs that Billy just threw together words that sounded cool together (he's admitted he will do this from time to time).
The most important line to me would be:
Even when their numbers draw you out Everything I want is free
Essentailly, even when evil calls for The Celestials to come in and save the day... the narrator just wants everyone to go away and be free.
