Fuck Your Labels
Carlie Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm at the front of the freakshow
Shouting from the top of the bus, screaming, "Fuck no!"
You just want to put all of us in a box
Leave us for dead and get lost
We give and we take and our hearts break
Pushing us away, you're afraid to reciprocate
You just want to put all of us in a box
Leave us for dead and get lost
Ooh, I'll never be what you want
What you want
I left everything, everything on the table
Everything, everything, so ungrateful
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
Everything, everything, you can't save me
Everything, everything, you can't change me
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
I know, it's so cold
It's only us, baby, out, no control
But when I'm up, when I'm high, you'll be calling
Give you back everything, I don't want it
Yeah, I know I'm gold
I got it all figured out but you don't
And when I'm up, when I'm high, you'll be calling
But I don't want it, no (I don't want it)
I left everything, everything on the table
Everything, everything, so ungrateful
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
Everything, everything, you can't save me
Everything, everything, you can't change me
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
I know that, ooh
Ooh, I'll never be what you want, what you want (so what?)
Ooh, I'll never be what you want, what you want
I left everything, everything on the table
Everything, everything, so ungrateful
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
Everything, everything, you can't save me
Everything, everything, you can't change me
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels
Everything, everything, you can't save me
Everything, everything, you can't change me
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Don't judge me, no
Fuck your labels

I'm at the front of the freakshow
I am proudly standing out and defying societal norms
Shouting from the top of the bus, screaming, 'Fuck no!'
I am expressing my refusal to conform and be controlled
You just want to put all of us in a box
You try to categorize and restrict us all
Leave us for dead and get lost
You disregard and abandon us without understanding
We give and we take and our hearts break
We experience both love and pain, making us vulnerable
Pushing us away, you're afraid to reciprocate
You distance yourself, afraid to show the same emotions
Ooh, I'll never be what you want
I won't conform to your expectations
I left everything, everything on the table
I gave my all, I didn't hold back
Everything, everything, so ungrateful
Despite my efforts, you show no appreciation
Don't blame me 'cause you're unstable
Your instability is not my fault
Don't judge me, no
Don't criticize or condemn me
Fuck your labels
I reject your attempts to define and categorize me
Everything, everything, you can't save me
You are unable to rescue or change me
Everything, everything, you can't change me
You have no power to alter who I am
I know, it's so cold
I am aware of the harshness and loneliness
It's only us, baby, out, no control
There's only the two of us, no external influence
But when I'm up, when I'm high, you'll be calling
You only want me when I am successful or in a good place
Give you back everything, I don't want it
I don't want to return to you or give you anything
Yeah, I know I'm gold
I understand my worth and value
I got it all figured out but you don't
I have knowledge and clarity that you lack
But I don't want it, no (I don't want it)
I don't desire or need what you offer
I know that, ooh
I am aware and sure of myself
Ooh, I'll never be what you want, what you want (so what?)
I won't conform to your desires, and I'm fine with it
