Freakout!
Mini Mansions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're talking too loud
But I can't hear you calling
Your head in the clouds
Whatever come out
Well I can't see you crawling while we're out
Lost in the sound
You can't see me crying
We're out on the town
No fun around
And I'm about to freak out
I been down
The needles and pins
Nobody wins
If you freak out all morning
Merry-go-round
Swim till you drown
I feel it kicking in from all around
With no one around
I'm bound to freak out
And I just keep falling round and round
I been down
I get down
Face in the crowd
You're laughing too loud
But I just keep on falling round and round
I been down
The lyrics to Mini Mansions's song Freakout! are quite introspective and portray the singer's feelings of isolation and stress. The first verse describes how the singer is surrounded by people, but still feels alone. The person he is communicating with is talking too loudly, and he cannot hear them properly, which implies that there is a breakdown in communication or understanding. Additionally, the phrase "your head in the clouds" suggests that the other person is not grounded in reality, which also contributes to the singer's feelings of isolation. The second verse is an expression of the singer's inner turmoil. He seems to be drowning in his emotions ("lost in the sound"), and the people around him are incapable of seeing his pain. Instead, they are focused solely on having fun, which makes him feel out of place. The chorus "And I'm about to freak out" further underscores his feelings of distress and hints at how he is on the verge of having a breakdown.
The bridge repeats the phrase "I been down," which we can interpret as an acknowledgment of the singer's struggles with mental health. He admits that he is not in a good place and that he has been feeling this way for a while. The lines "needles and pins" and "I feel it kicking in from all around" can also be read as allusions to a drug overdose or an impending panic attack. The final verse again emphasizes the singer's sense of isolation. Nobody seems to understand what he is going through, and he is left alone to contend with his inner demons. Overall, the song is a poignant observation of how difficult it can be to cope with mental health issues, particularly when those around us are oblivious or dismissive of our struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
Face in the crowd
I feel lost and unnoticed in a sea of people
You're talking too loud
You're making a lot of noise, but I can't understand what you're saying
But I can't hear you calling
I'm too distracted and overwhelmed to hear your cries for help
Your head in the clouds
You're in a dream-like state, not fully grounded in reality
Whatever come out
You're not making sense, and I can't figure out what you're trying to say
Well I can't see you crawling while we're out
We're out and about, but I can't see you trying to make progress or improve yourself
Life of a cloud
Living without purpose, direction, or solidity
Lost in the sound
Overwhelmed and distracted by the noise and chaos around me
You can't see me crying
Despite my inner turmoil and sadness, I'm putting on a brave face and trying to appear ok
We're out on the town
We're trying to have fun and enjoy ourselves
No fun around
Despite our efforts, we're not having a good time
And I'm about to freak out
I'm on the verge of losing control and panicking
I been down
I've experienced hardship and sadness
The needles and pins
The painful obstacles and challenges in life
Nobody wins
No one emerges victorious or unscathed from life's struggles
If you freak out all morning
If you allow yourself to panic and fall apart, it will consume your entire day
Merry-go-round
The endless cycle of life's ups and downs
Swim till you drown
Keep going until you can't anymore
I feel it kicking in from all around
The pressure and stress of life is closing in on me
With no one around
Alone and isolated, without any support or comfort
I'm bound to freak out
It's inevitable that I'll lose control and panic
And I just keep falling round and round
I can't seem to break free from the cycle of pain and anxiety
I get down
I get sad and lost sometimes
You're laughing too loud
You're having a good time, but I'm not feeling it
But I just keep on falling round and round
Despite my efforts to stay positive, I keep reverting back to sadness and despair
I been down
I've experienced hardship and sadness
