Sodas in the Freezer
Flycatcher Lyrics

In "Sodas in the Freezer" by Flycatcher, the lyrics portray feelings of frustration, longing for attention, and a sense of resignation. The opening line, "I've been picking fights but no one listens," suggests a sense of being unheard or overlooked. The singer feels ignored and neglected, resulting in a growing internal turmoil. This feeling is reinforced by the line, "Running out of guts to spill," implying that they have exhausted their efforts to express themselves.

The desire to be noticed and seen as a victim is expressed in the line, "I just want to play the victim, Someday I will." It suggests that the singer hopes that by assuming this role, they will finally receive the attention and validation they seek. However, the following line, "So I'll keep leaving sodas in the freezer, Hanging clothes out in the rain," presents a different approach. Instead of outwardly expressing their frustrations, they act out in subtle but noticeable ways, leaving sodas in the freezer and hanging clothes out in the rain. These actions serve as subtle cries for attention.

The verse continues with the line, "I'm trying on my worst demeanor, But I can't be blamed." Here, the singer acknowledges their attempts to portray a negative persona, perhaps hoping that their behavior will elicit a reaction from others. They imply that, despite their efforts to change their behavior, they cannot be held accountable for the consequences that follow.

In the next verse, the lyrics shift towards a sense of resignation and self-destructive behavior. The lines "So I'll keep passing out with double vision, Find it hard to stay awake, I left the gas on in the kitchen, Well, fuck it's too late" depict a reckless and careless attitude. The singer indulges in destructive habits and displays a lack of concern for their own well-being. This behavior could be interpreted as an expression of their frustration and a desire to break free from their current situation.

The repetition of the final chorus emphasizes the resignation and acceptance of their role as "no one" and the willingness to fulfill others' expectations. The line, "While you chase the sun I'll sleep in for fun, cnd I'll be your greatest stunt when I'm done, I'm done," suggests that the singer has given up on personal aspirations and is content with accommodating the desires of others. They are willing to become a source of entertainment or a "stunt" for someone else's pleasure.

In conclusion, "Sodas in the Freezer" showcases the emotions of frustration, longing, resignation, and a desire for attention. The lyrics depict a struggle to be heard and acknowledged, portrayed through various means of acting out, self-destructive behavior, and the willingness to embody whatever role is expected of them.
