Freak Scene
Dinosaur Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and free us?
Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen to much to try you
It's always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just can't believe us
Why can't it just be cool and leave us?
It's so fucked I can't believe it
If there's a way I wish we'd see it
How could it work just can't conceive it
Oh what a mess it's just to leave it
Sometimes I don't thrill you
Sometimes I think I'll kill you
Just don't let me fuck up will you
'cause when I need a friend it's still you
What a mess
Dinosaur Jr.'s Freak Scene offers a window into the challenges of navigating complex relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer has seen enough of the person they are addressing to understand them, but also that they have seen too much to try them. This could suggest that they are both fascinated and intimidated by this person, and that there is a sense of danger in exploring the depths of the connection between them. The singer speaks to the weirdness that flows between them, suggesting that others might not understand their dynamic. They lament the fact that the "freak scene" can't believe what they have, asking why it can't just be cool and free them.
The second verse of the song highlights the challenges inherent in this relationship. The singer suggests that they can't believe the mess they are in and wonders if there's a way out. They highlight that it's hard to conceive of how things could work between them, suggesting that their connection is perhaps too complicated or unpredictable. The final stanza suggests that the singer struggles with their feelings for this person - sometimes they thrill them, other times they think they'll kill them. Ultimately, they conclude by asking this person not to let them mess things up because when they need a friend, it's still them.

I love how this song is basically a love/hate letter from one band member to another. The message: no matter how much you may think you've grown to hate an old friend, most of the time the relationship is worth salvaging... especially if you create awesome music like this together.
