Pocket Ballads: Freedom on the Other Side | Eren Yeager | AOT 「 Lyrics 」

I was inspired to write Freedom on the Other Side because of Eren — not for what he becomes, but for the moment he decides who he is. What always stuck with me wasn’t the destruction or the spectacle. It was that quiet shift in him. The point where freedom stops being an idea and turns into a direction. Where waiting, hoping, and dreaming all fall away — and choice takes over. Eren’s story made me think a lot about how freedom is never clean. It’s not heroic in the way people want it to be. Sometimes it’s lonely. Sometimes it costs everything. But once you see it, you can’t unsee it. This song lives in that space — right before the world changes. Before the consequences. When the decision is already made, even if no one else knows it yet. That’s why I wrote this. If you understand that feeling, this song is for you.
