Freak
Friction (ft. Josh Barry) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crush another heart
Same time as I left you at the door
Is that bad start for us?
I don't mean to disenchant you
My loving counterpart
There will be scars
Somehow
Some freak of natures love
Times are hard
Behind these masks
We wait
Because we care too much
Too much
Some freak of natures love
Times are hard
Behind these masks
We wait
Because we care too much
Too much
Care too much
Care too much
Go ahead and turn your face away
That look already says it all
In your eyes I saw the flame
I know what you're looking for
A void with no meaning
Slowly tearing us apart
Our souls need cleaning
Shadows left without the hearts
And there will be pain
There will be scars
Some freak of natures love
Times are hard
Behind these masks
We wait
Because we care too much
Too much
Some freak of natures love
Times are hard
Behind these masks
We wait
Because we care too much
Too much
Care too much
The lyrics of "Freak in 2-3" by Friction (ft. Josh Barry) describe a complicated relationship that's heading towards a fresh start while ending in a heartbreak. The first verse begins with the singer admitting that he's going to start again and potentially hurt someone else. It seems that the relationship he previously left at the door was shaky and has come to an end. He's aware of the pain involved but still dares to move on. However, he reminds the listener that there will be scars even though it's a freak of nature's love. This emphasizes that it's not an ordinary bond and that even though things might be challenging, there is still hope.
The chorus emphasizes the hardships and challenges of the relationship. The "freak of natures love" signifies that it goes beyond ordinary love; times are tough, and the two individuals are going through a lot. They wear masks, which signify that they might not want to show their true selves to each other. But they wait, and they care too much. It highlights the complexity of the relationship that they can't easily walk away from each other, even though they are hurting.
The second verse continues with the theme of disconnection and hurt. The singer states that the other person's face and eyes already say it all, likely referring to their pain and disappointment. He knows what the other person is looking for and how they are feeling, but they can't seem to fix the void that's come between them. The "shadows left without the hearts" portray that the feeling of love that was once there is now gone. The chorus repeats with the idea that their love is unique, and they care too much for each other.
