Freakshow
C.H.A.O.S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you really having these thoughts in your head right now?
It's 2AM and I don't think you've had the best ideas since the sun went down
I know you're sick of yourself, and you're sick of this town
Can't help but feel like you've lost all focus,
Burdened by your own self-doubt

But there's still time, for you to turn this around
Oh, there's still time before you hit the ground

Don't panic, free yourself from behind
The walls you built up inside, soon enough you'll be fine
Yeah, life's a ride

Tell yourself that it's always been a dream
Tell yourself nothing's really as it seems, oh no
But we all know it's a grim reality
If you're lucky you'll see your name light up the marquee

Don't panic, free yourself from behind
The walls you built up inside, soon enough you'll be fine
'Cause life's just a ride none of us will survive
Behold the unkown, it's a freakshow just as old
As space and time

There's something Oddly Strange about this place, am I the only one who feels it?

Don't panic, free yourself from behind
The walls you built up inside, soon enough you'll be fine
'Cause life's just a ride none of us will survive

Behold the unkown, it's a freakshow just as old
As space and time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of C.H.A.O.S's song "Freakshow" explore themes of self-doubt, feeling trapped, and the unpredictable nature of life. The song begins with a portrayal of late-night thoughts, reflecting a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction. The singer is tired of their own thoughts and the monotonous routine of their town, feeling like they have lost their direction. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer realizes they are running out of time to turn things around before hitting rock bottom.


The chorus offers a message of hope and encouragement, urging the singer to free themselves from their self-imposed limitations and barriers. The walls they have built up inside themselves are preventing them from moving forward and finding peace. The lyrics emphasize that life is like a rollercoaster ride, with ups and downs, but ultimately it can be a fulfilling experience if they can break free from their own fears and insecurities.


The second verse touches on the concept of perception and self-deception. It suggests that one should view life as a dream and question the reality they perceive. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the harsh truth that life can often be challenging and unfair. The mention of seeing one's name on the marquee suggests the desire for recognition and success, while acknowledging that such opportunities are rare.


The bridge of the song introduces a feeling of strangeness and oddity, suggesting that the world itself is a peculiar and mysterious place. It questions whether the singer is alone in feeling this way, suggesting a societal disconnection or detachment.


Overall, "Freakshow" by C.H.A.O.S explores the themes of self-doubt, the search for meaning, and the unpredictable nature of life. It encourages listeners to break free from their own limitations and embrace the ride, even though it may be strange and uncertain.
