Freakin' Out
Graham Coxon 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 Graham Coxon's song "Freakin' Out" paint a picture of someone feeling lost and overwhelmed with the mundane aspects of life. The repeated lines of "Nothing to see, nothing to hear, nothing to be, nothing to fear" suggest a feeling of numbness, as if the singer is detached from their surroundings. The line "What do you do, when nothing's wrong? Ain't got a clue, ain't got no song" implies a struggle to find purpose or meaning when everything seems to be flatlining.
The second half of the song shifts to a more confrontational tone, with the singer calling out someone for their superficial appearance and questioning their presence in their life. However, the chorus remains the same, suggesting that despite the frustrations of the singer, they still feel trapped and overwhelmed by their own feeling of nothingness. The repeated line of "TV's got me going blind" may also suggest a sense of being trapped or addicted to technology or media, contributing to their feeling of being lost.
In summary, "Freakin' Out" is a song about the feeling of being disconnected and overwhelmed with the mundane aspects of daily life, while also grappling with a sense of purposelessness.
Line by Line Meaning
Nothing to see, nothing to hear

Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Life has nothing to offer to be ambitious about, no risks or challenges, no tribulations to feel anxious about.
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
No point in trying to justify oneself, no purpose in making an argument to convince someone of one's position.
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
There is no asset, no possession that is worth keeping or losing, no goal worth pursuing or achieving.
Nothing to feel, nothing to hate
There is no passion, no sentiment, no emotion of intensity or affection, no dislike of anything or anyone.
Nothing is real, it's all too late
Nothing seems genuine or substantial in the present moment, the past experiences are gone, and one is unsure of the future outcome.
What do you do, when nothing's wrong?
When everything appears to be stable and problem-free, but still there is a sense of dissatisfaction, a sense of ennui that overpowers the mind.
Ain't got a clue, ain't got no song
There is no idea or inspiration, no musical or lyrical composition that can express the feeling of disorientation and confusion.
You're foaming at the mouth
The frustration reaches its peak, and a feeling of agitation and restlessness is evident in one's actions.
You're mad without a doubt
The incoherent and chaotic thoughts make one angry and irrational, unable to solve any problems.
Cause I'm really freakin' out
The whole situation is alarming, and it is disturbing to realize that life is no longer something that can be controlled or managed.
I'm going out of my mind
Feeling crazy, confused, and in despair, as if losing one's mental stability.
TV's got me going blind
The constant influx of meaningless information and entertainment has numbed the mind, leaving it devoid of intellectual curiosity or creativity.
Hey man you think you got it made
Addressing someone who is confident and self-assured, who appears to have their life under control.
Cool beard you stick on your phantom face
Mocking someone who tries to appear fashionable or trendy, but their actions and style are superficial and fake.
Got on your aviator's shades
Wearing a popular accessory in an attempt to seem sophisticated and cultured.
What the hell you doing here?
The presence of this person and their attempts to appear stylish and cool are annoying and redundant.
Filling the space between my ears
This person is taking up mental and emotional space that could be used for more fruitful or positive things.
Why don't you all just disappear
The frustration and annoyance with this person and their companions has reached a boiling point, and the singer wishes they would all leave.
Plus all your friends just way too dear
Not only are these people annoying and bothersome, but they are also too expensive to be around or associated with.
La la la la, la la la lie
The repetition of meaningless syllables reflects the lack of substance or content in one's life.

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
What do you do when nothing's wrong
Ain't got a clue, ain't got no song
You are foaming at the mouth, you are mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freaking out
And I'm going out of my mind, TV got me going blind
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
Why don't you all just disappear
With all your friends just way too dear
You are foaming at the mouth, you are mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freaking out
And I'm going out of my mind, TV got me going blind
And I'm really freaking out
Nothing to see, nothing to hear
Nothing to be, nothing to fear
Nothing to prove, nothing to say
Lala la la lala la lie
You are foaming at the mouth, you are mad without a doubt
Cause I'm really freaking out
And I'm going out of my mind, TV got me going blind
And I'm really freaking out
