Freak Out is a song by Canadian singer/songwriter, Avril Lavigne. The song is produced by Butch Walker for Avril’s sophomore album, Under My Skin. This song describes not caring about what others think of you, hence the lyric “I won’t listen to you/Walk around with my hands up in the air.”
[Verse 1]
Try to tell me what I shouldn't do
You should know by now
I won't listen to you
Walk around with my hands up in the air
'Cause I don't care (Care)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm alright, I'm fine
Just freak out, let it go
[Chorus]
I'm gonna live my life
I can't ever run and hide
I won't compromise
'Cause I'll never know
I'm gonna close my eyes
I can't watch the time go by
I won't keep it inside
Freak out, let it go
Just freak out, let it go
[Verse 2]
You don't always have to do everything right
Stand up for yourself
And put up a fight
Walk around with your hands up in the air
Like you don't care (Care)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm alright, I'm fine
Just freak out, let it go
[Chorus]
I'm gonna live my life
I can't ever run and hide
I won't compromise
'Cause I'll never know
I'm gonna close my eyes
I can't watch the time go by
I won't keep it inside
Freak out, let it go
[Bridge]
On my own
Let it go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Chorus]
Just let me live my life
I can't ever run and hide
I won't compromise
'Cause I'll never know
I'm gonna close my eyes
I can't watch the time go by
I won't keep it inside
Freak out, let it go
[Outro]
Gonna freak out, let it go
Gonna freak out, let it go
