Write Me Letters
Hot Freaks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the fridge
There's a card this girl wrote
To my roommates thanking them for
Coming to her birthday party
I am sad
I wish that I had friends like that
Someone to play frisbee on most days
Someone take me to the MOA
Shakira, baby. I wish you cared about me
I wish you knew how I feel
I wish you knew I was real
I wish a person like you
Would like a person like me
It's the reason I hide
Always inside

Afraid that nobody will think I am special

Write me letters
Ink on paper
I'm so mixed up I could cry
What's your secret?
I can keep it
I can keep it 'til I die

I'm not happy
I'm just worried things don't never turn out right
Won't you help me write me letters
Write me letters in the sky

Recently
I got them to scan my brain
And they gone asked some personal questions
Like do I think I am an awful person
I talked too much
You know I told them everything
I told them that I'd like to disappear
I told them that I have nobody here

I know that's not what I was taught
I hope that someday it's not something that I want
As for the moment
I just want to be absent

Write me letters
Ink on paper
I'm so mixed up I could cry
What's your secret?
I can keep it
I can keep it 'til I die

I'm not happy
I'm just worried things don't never turn out right
Won't you help me write me letters
Write me letters in the sky

Woah
Watch it all go by
Having no fun
Having no fun
Watch it all go
Watch it all go by
Having no fun




I'm having no fun
I'm having no fun

Overall Meaning

The song "Write Me Letters" by Hot Freaks is a powerful and emotional portrayal of loneliness and the desire for human connection. The first verse of the song sets up a poignant contrast between the singer's isolation and the apparent companionship of the girl who wrote the card on the fridge. He longs for a friend who will play frisbee with him and take him to the MOA, but who will also care about him as a person. The mention of Shakira adds a touch of humorous irony to the sadness of his plea.


As the song progresses, the singer's loneliness becomes more profound and painful. He reveals that he has no one to confide in, and that he is so lost and confused that he "could cry." The image of writing letters in the sky represents a desperate cry for help, for someone to see and understand his pain. The line "I'm not happy, I'm just worried things don't never turn out right" sums up the overall feeling of the song, that despite the singer's longing and hope, he is trapped in a cycle of disappointment and despair.


The outro section of the song, with its repetition of "having no fun" and "watch it all go by," serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of loneliness and isolation. The song's intense emotions and heartfelt lyrics leave a lasting impression on the listener, and make it clear why it has resonated with so many people over the years.
