Prizonier în libertate Lyrics – Deliric, Silent Strike

Prizonier în libertate Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
He talks about crossing the ocean like a pro swimmer, comparing himself to David Popovici, showing how tough and risky his journey was. He had just a few plastic bills tucked in his underwear, showing how broke he was. He jumped out of a cargo plane on the pilot’s signal, hinting at how illegal or dangerous the trip was. Cops were everywhere, bullets flying, painting a chaotic scene. He says he spices up his story for the kids so it doesn’t sound too depressing, since in reality, he had a visa and was just a tourist. He admits he was naïve, trusting, and didn’t care much for papers. He could find work without legal documents and kept dreaming every night, trying to stay hopeful in a tough world.

[Refren]
He promises his mom a house and his dad a car, saying he’s doing his best to make them proud. He wants them to know he cares and that it’s not his fault he ended up living like this. He never wanted to become a machine doing routine work without a soul. That’s why he feels lost in the world, treated like a nobody. People only talk to him in terms of money. Still, he knows how to handle things well, especially when others notice he’s good with numbers. He believes if you see life with humor, it gets a bit easier.

[Strofa 2]
He didn’t get a green card the shady way, but instead started moving “green” – most likely slang for weed – with his crew. He got close with some cousins from a small town and began fitting into that circle. He even changed his look, growing a beard like a local artist to blend in, since the people he was around looked tired or sketchy. These guys tricked naive folks and sold fat buds, comparing them to Adele – meaning they were high quality. Eventually, those same people ended up addicted or messed up, just to keep their pockets full. Everyone did whatever it took to get by, and now he’s the same – involved in all sorts of things, more active and committed than before. But even now, he still dreams every single night, hinting that he hasn’t let go of his hopes.

[Refren]
He keeps repeating his dream to buy a house for his mom and a car for his dad, staying committed to giving back to them. He assures them he’s trying his hardest and never wanted a boring, robotic life. He feels like a drifter, someone lost across the globe, not even called by his name anymore. People treat him like a walking wallet, but he knows how to get around, especially when they realize he’s smart with money. He says the best way to survive all this is to laugh it off sometimes.

[Strofa 3]
He feels like it’s a good thing he didn’t find a regular job, because once you start with weed, it can quickly turn into dealing bigger stuff. From asking how much fits in a bag to hiding it, things escalate fast. That’s how he ended up making good money, thanks to a hot tip. But he’s constantly stressed, afraid it might all be a setup and he’ll end up caught. Life abroad isn’t glamorous either – no beach bars like in Mamaia, no homemade food like back home, no fancy dishes, just prison food in Miami. He questions the point of having all this money if it just keeps him far from the people and life he loves. Even though he’s technically free, he feels like a prisoner and lies awake night after night thinking about it.

[Refren]
Again, he shares that everything he does is for his parents, wanting to give them a better life. He’s trying his hardest, and he doesn’t blame himself for how things turned out. He didn’t want a boring life that made him feel like a robot. He’s drifting through the world, not even called by name anymore. To people, he’s just about money. But he knows how to make things work, especially when they see he’s clever with numbers. And even when life gets tough, he tries to laugh it off.
