The lyrics of Imperial Teen's song "Freaks" are an anthem for people who consider themselves outsiders, or "freaks". They follow their own set of rules and codes, and don't care what society thinks of them. The chorus repeats the line "We are freaks" multiple times, driving home the message that these people are proud of who they are and aren't afraid to show it.
The song also touches on gender and sexuality, with the lines "We are butch, we are femme, look at him, look at them". This suggests that the freaks come in all shapes and sizes, and that they embrace all types of gender expression.
The repetitive chanting of "One of us" at the end of the lyrics creates a sense of community and belonging among the freaks. They stick together and support each other because they understand what it's like to be different in a world that values conformity.
Overall, the lyrics of "Freaks" celebrate individuality, diversity, and non-conformity. It's an empowering message that encourages people to embrace their true selves and not be ashamed of who they are.
