Freakin' Out
Coxon Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
Nothing to loose, nothing to gain
Nothing to feel, nothing to hate
Nothing is real, it's all too late
What do you do, when nothing's wrong?
You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out
Hey man you think you got it made
Cool beard you stick on your phantom face
Got on your aviator's shades
Yeah man, your looking really ace
So what the hell you doing here?
Filling the space between my ears
Why don't you all just disappear
Plus all your friends just way to dear
You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out
Nothing to see, nothing to hear
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
La la la la, la la la lie
You're foaming at the mouth
You're mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freakin' out
I'm going out of my mind
TV's got me going blind
And I'm really freakin' out
The lyrics to Coxon Graham's song "Freakin' Out" describe a feeling of apathy towards life, as well as frustration with those who appear to have it all figured out. The repetition of "nothing" in the first verse emphasizes the emptiness that the singer feels, as if there is no purpose or direction to their existence. This is further suggested in the lines "What do you do, when nothing's wrong?/ Ain't got a clue, ain't got no song," which suggest that even in the absence of problems or struggles, the singer still feels lost and without direction.
The second verse takes a more critical tone towards those who seem to be doing well, with the singer questioning both their motives and their value. The lines "Why don't you all just disappear/ Plus all your friends just way too dear" suggest that the singer sees those around them as superficial or worthless, while also feeling isolated and alone.
The chorus, with its repeated line "You're foaming at the mouth/ You're mad without a doubt/ Cause I'm really freakin' out," suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and perhaps even threatened by the chaos and noise around them. The reference to being "TV's got me going blind" is also significant, as it suggests that the singer is being bombarded by images and noise that they find meaningless or harmful. Overall, the song captures a feeling of detachment and dislocation in modern life, as well as a sense of frustration with the superficiality and emptiness of contemporary culture.

Cool beard you stick on your phantom face
You have a fake and superficial appearance, with a false facade of coolness
Got on your aviator's shades
You have sunglasses like a pilot or a cool person, trying to fit in with a certain image
Why don't you all just disappear
I wish you and your group of friends would leave me alone
Plus all your friends just way too dear
Your friends are expensive and not worth my time or money
La la la la, la la la lie
I am tuning out the world, ignoring it by singing la la la lies

Nothing to see, nothing to hear
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing to feel, nothing to hate
Nothing is real, it's all too late

And I'm really freaking out
Hey man, you think you got it made
Grooving and you stink on your fender bass
Got on your aviators shades
Yeah man, you're looking really ace
So what the hell you're doing here
Filling the space between my ears

And I'm going out of my mind, TV got me going blind
And I'm really freaking out
