“Light as a Feather” by MA Shalom is a heartfelt and introspective track exploring the delicate balance between love, duty, and personal freedom in relationships. Through poetic and emotionally raw lyrics, the song reflects on the struggle of giving love freely while navigating feelings of being misunderstood, burdensome, or entangled in expectations.
The chorus—“Light as a feather, love should be free, not a weight to carry, not a chain to me”—captures the song’s central theme: love is meant to uplift and liberate, not to confine or create emotional weight. Each verse examines the tension between genuine affection and perceived obligation, reflecting on how even well-intentioned love can feel heavy when misinterpreted or constrained by duty.
With the bridge and outro, the song evolves into a message of acceptance and release, encouraging understanding, forgiveness, and the freedom to love without restriction. It is a tender meditation on emotional honesty, personal boundaries, and the desire for love to remain light, freeing, and pure.
