Erratic, frantic and full of panic, ‘Freak’ is about just that – being considered a freak and having your life made miserable by bullies. It can be easy for those insecurities to turn into an overwhelming, unhealthy desire for power – that only ever ends in pain.
I wanna talk about something real
Our lives have become so stale
What happened to being a freak
And never feeling weak
But now it’s all the same
No one to change the game
That screen you sit behind
Well now’s your fucking time
Change the norm
Bring back the stares and shouts
And feed off the uncomfortable
I wanna be a freak
So far from the sheep
I wanna talk about something real
Our lives have become so stale
What happened to being a freak
And never feeling weak
But now it’s all the same
No one to change the game
That screen you sit behind
Well now’s your fucking time
No door to sit behind
No cage for this creature
A bark with so much bite
Forever the wiser
It’s in my blood
This green viscous fluid
But it keeps me alive
So alive
Are you used to it?
