The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed The spider out

Can you still see through me
Nah cause i'm invisible tonight
It's time i tell my story
On this very late night
I love to laugh when nothing is funny haha

They call me a freak

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of the song alludes to the popular nursery rhyme “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” which tells the story of a spider that climbs up a waterspout, only to be washed out by the rain, and then starts again. In the song, the spider represents the singer who feels invisible and overlooked. The rain washing the spider out can be interpreted as society pushing the singer down when they try to climb up.


The chorus of the song repeats the word “freak” over and over again. The singer takes ownership of this label, acknowledging that they are different from others and that this label has been placed on them by society. However, they question what it really means to be a freak and how it defines them as a person.


The second stanza of the song expresses the singer's desire to escape and find a place where they can be themselves without judgment. They turn to the listener for help, asking if they can see them and understand their story. The stanza ends with the singer saying that they love to laugh, even when there’s nothing funny, which can be interpreted as a coping mechanism for dealing with the isolation and judgment they feel.


Overall, the song tackles themes of isolation, identity, and self-acceptance. The singer acknowledges their differences and the label society has placed on them, but questions the true meaning of that label and seeks acceptance and understanding from others.
