Freaker by the Speaker
Keller Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Human dreidel spinning around
How do you not dizzy out and fall down
Is that what happens when you feel the sound
But if that was me I would be on the ground

I would not get up
I would dance on my back
Throw my legs up in the air like I don't care
Then wave them side to side
Then I'd bust into a windmill
Then right into a backspin

Freaker right by the speaker
Never seem to get enough
Priceless that's fresh
And what's space is possession
Like yeah that's the stuff
Electronic stereophonic
Coming from the left and the right
It's good in the day
I like it that way
But it's perfectly normal at night

Brave girl with a lollipop
Binky and a face full of metal
Her eyes is as wide as a truck
In somebody just for the pedal
Her mental clearance is high
But the overpass is low
She ducks her head
Holds on tight
When she gets through
She lets go

Cause she's a tweaker right by the speaker
Never seem to get enough
Priceless that's fresh
And what's space is possession
Like yeah that's the stuff
Electronic stereophonic
Coming from the left and the right
It's good in the day
I like it that way
But its perfectly normal at night

Yellow shirt bouncers gather in the corner
Feel like the room just got a little warmer
Pointin' at you what up with that
But don't worry yo I got your back, but
One of them dudes is as big as the both of us
Big old arms, big as a school bus
Looks like he could snap us in two
I ain't go no gun so I think we should run.

I dunno about you spinning around
How do you not dizzy ever fall down
Aww that's what happens
When feel the sound
But if that was me
I would be on the ground
I would not get up
I would dance on my back
Throw my legs up in the air
Like I don't care
Then wave them side to side




Then I'd bust into a windmill
Then right into a backspin.

Overall Meaning

Freeker By the Speaker, written by Keller Williams, is a song that explores the experience of dancing to loud music. The first verse describes an individual who is spinning like a dreidel, expressing awe at how they manage to avoid falling down. It suggests that this person is dancing to the sound they feel, even though it is so intense that it would make others fall over. Williams then describes how he would respond if he were in that situation. He would dance on his back, throwing his legs in the air and waving them around, ending with a windmill and backspin. This verse highlights the freedom that can be experienced through music and dancing.


The chorus of the song offers an explanation for the behavior described in the first verse. The people who dance like that are freakers by the speaker. They can't get enough of the music and become possessed by its space. The electronic stereophonic sound that comes from the left and the right is good during the day, but perfectly normal at night. It's a way of saying that this kind of music is not for everyone, but those who like it will feel at home with it, day or night.


The second verse describes a person who is so into the music that they duck their head and hold on tight when they go under an overpass. They are riding a bike or a motorcycle when they cross under the overpass, and the music is so intense that they feel like they need to hold on tight. Williams refers to this person as a tweaker by the speaker. As with the first verse, the chorus suggests that this type of behavior is normal for those who are into this kind of music. Finally, the third verse tells the story of two people who feel like they are being pointed at by security guards. Williams reassures the other person that he has their back, but that one of the guards is so big that he feels like they should run away.
