Independence is a condition of a nation, country, or state in which its residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over its territory. The opposite of independence is dependence.
Attainment of independence should not be confused with revolution, which typically refers to the violent overthrow of a ruling authority. While some revolutions seek and achieve national independence, others aim only to redistribute power — with or without an element of emancipation, such as in democratization — within a state, which as such may remain unaltered. Furthermore, some countries were granted independence without any revolutionary acts. The Russian October Revolution, for example, was not intended to seek national independence; the United States Revolutionary War, however, was.
Autonomy (in slight contrast) refers to a kind of independence which has been granted by an overseeing authority that itself still retains ultimate authority over that territory (see Devolution). A protectorate refers to an autonomous region that depends upon a larger government for its protection as an autonomous region. The dates of established independence (or, less commonly, the commencement of revolution), are typically celebrated as a national holiday known as an independence day.

She's on a rebound
can't get enough of it
I get me
I get stressed when you talk about your togetherness
she's on a rebound
can't get enough of it
Don't judge us from external
Don't frenzied - reproved
Because of what you see
Because of we are what we are
We are
Independent
We are
Metal Militia
Metal Militia
Smashing from what we do
We are from intelligentsia
Don't you try to maltreat us
Don't you try to stop us
Solo
Don't judge us from external
Don't frenzied - reproved
Because of what you see
Because of we are what we are
Because we are
Masterpiece con
We are
Like you said when we crawled down from the trees
We're in transition
I don't want to remain on the edge
We must embrace the new conditions
I'm alright, I'm alright
Through it's a contradiction
It's enough but less than I imagined
I'll get used to this
A one roomed apartment
If I fall behind with the rent
I'll have to borrow from a close friend
I'm alright, I'm alright
Through it's a contradiction
It's enough but less than I imagined
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
When you said it gets so cold that we could freeze
I reconsidered
I did all I could to be saved
The frozen veil encases the thunderous night.
The wolves are just in reach calling for the moon.
(The fire is no more)
The flame is extinguished.
But don’t lose hope, don’t lose sight,
Cause its just a little bit farther.
Look up to the stars through the falling snow,
We can’t let go.
Reach up, reach up, no we can’t let go.
(Frozen time can’t collapse)
Reach up, the night is nothing to be feared,
The arctic winds flow straight through the core.
Straight through the core.
Smothering the hope we thought we had, that we thought would always last.
The endless horizons, the tundra is too much to handle.
Catacombs of fear, suppressed by the luminosity of the never-ending flames.
The polar routines we once had, separated from the light.
If you think this will break me, you better stop dead in your tracks.
Frozen time can’t collapse.
Things change and I accept that, but survival is something I know all too well.
Independence has been taken from you, never living the same lives we once knew.
Reach up, the night is nothing to be feared,
The arctic winds flow straight through the core.
Take back every thing you’ve said, you’re not who you used to be.
Reach up, the night is nothing to be feared,
How does it feel to find yourself playing for the wrong team with the stakes so high?
How does it feel to find yourself so blind to the sin your hiding deep inside?
Turn your back on the obvious facts and watch the city gnash and burn on you
Oblivious to your only way out and now the lifestyle's evidence too
Independence runs rampant while fire awaits for burning flesh overflowing like sets
Blind as the bats in the dark mind sets without hope of ever seeping through cracks
Like a fool
You're so proud of your arrogant mind set of lusts unspeakable, continue to drool
And now so content....
Implement the tool
Your rainbow's a symbol
Of a smile on your face unforgettable
You look to the skies and smirk while your choice proves completely regrettable
Lust fills the sleepless nights
Thirty five and under the plight to sow invites
You'd better get to bead early...
Because the dawn's bringing light to melt the living penalty
And now you want to try to separate independence from your bonded state?
Worship your created self with unnatural debased states of mind for fates erased
With no excuse for ignorance 'cause His nature only proves His existence
Uncleanness assumes an image that's reflecting the faraway cry from creation
The signs of the times sign a contract (with fine print)
providing your soul with destruction
He said
"Anyone who comes to me shall not perish
But have everlasting life."
He said "anyone who invites me in
I will come in and dine"
"And anyone who does what I command abides in me and I in him
But alone the branches will fade and wither
And be cast into eternal flames"
Independence
How does it feel now on your own?
Independence
Does your rebellion keep you warm?
Independence
Your self-reliance make you strong?
Independence
How does it feel now on your own?
My independence went away
I didn't listen when it said 'rely on yourself trusting someone else is a path for the silent ghost'
My independence went astray
I didn't think you could betray the pieces that belong inside yourself
Still I wonder where did we go wrong
Dear independence, which way to go?
Dear independence, the world will know what I think is right
Dear independence, which way to go?
Dear independence, the world will know what I think is right
My independence kicked me out
It fed me to a hungry crowd
Like a leper I'm not touched and I cannot bear to watch as I lose the will to lose myself
My independence, which way do go?
My independence, the world will know what I think is right
My independence
My independence had a mind of its own
My independence
My independence
My independence
it took some time
but now i can see my faults
and i've made up my mind now
see how the water falls
it's so personal
that i could not come to terms wiht
the choices that i've made
well, it seems i'm here to stay...
the waves are strong
but they won't pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that's the strength i've found
it's been a while
but i think i've got it now
the waves are strong but they won't pull me
downdown on myself for doing things
i said i'd never do, well
i've made mistakes, yeah
all part of growing up its true
we see eye to eye
but there was no way for me to know
until i tried i've seen the lies
i know which way to go
foget what i've learned lear to forget
i never wanted this
i'm happy with the way it was
with success that i have earned comes hatred
i never wanted this
i really never wanted this
down
the waves are strong
but they won't pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that's the strength i've found
it's been a while
but i think i've got it now
the waves are strong but they won't pull me
down

Lulu
Don't be surprised by the way that I am
By the way that I feel and I act
There's too many rules, I really can't choose
I can't let those chains hold me back
I've never known what it's like on my own
But I'm takin' a chance anyway
It may not be right like some moves in the night
But I've got to do it my way
I want my independence
I want my freedom right now
I want my independence (independence)
I want my freedom right now
So what you're sayin' don't matter to me
I'm makin' my plans all alone
But I've got the right to express my emotions
Have some space of my own
Don't be confused, please don't misunderstand
I can't respect your wishes more
This time I must say I want it my way
I'm walkin' out the door
I want my independence (independence) ooh
I want my freedom (freedom) right now
I want my independence (independence)
I want my freedom, my freedom now
This time I walk away (this time)
This time I'm on my own
This time I walk away (this time)
This time I'm on my own
Don't be confused, please don't misunderstand
I can't respect your wishes more
And this time I must say I want it my way
I'm walkin' through the door
I want my independence (independence)
I want my freedom (freedom) right now yeah
I want my independence (independence)
I want my freedom (freedom), my freedom now
This time I walk away yeah (freedom)
This time I'm on my own (independence)
This time I walk away (freedom)
This time I'm on my own (independence)
Baby, I want my freedom yeah yeah
I want my independence
So here I'm standing
Crawling my way back home
Thoughts are fading
To sometime when I felt warm
Served you so well entertained you
Gave it all to see your face
I have fallen I have died here
Just so I could leave this place
Fallen heroes fallen idols
My shoes cannot be filled
Fallen heroes falling idols
Your soul cannot be killed
So now I lay here safer beneath your feet
All my troubles fall away with each defeat
Hold my head up as my heart fails
To live up to what I've done
Touch is so sweat, as I leave you
Will you remember me when I'm gone
Fallen heroes fallen idols
My shoes cannot be filled
Fallen heroes falling idols
Your soul cannot be killed
Did you love me did you hate me
Did you live to watch me fall
Have I saved you have I bored you
Am I greater and now I'm gone
Fallen heroes fallen idols
My shoes cannot be filled
Fallen heroes falling idols
Your soul cannot be killed (x2)
