Freaks
Pabst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's pathetic how I miss you
I'm not worth it just a stupid piece of shit
It's pathetic how I miss you, yeah
I do feel confused at least this proves I'm alive
I'd rather die tonight
We are the freaks we stay together
I'd rather die tonight
We are the freaks we stay together
Tied forever by our love and our lies
Tied forever by our love and our lies
Soft drugs to back up our alibis
Cracked lips, red eyes
I'm not worth it just a useless piece of trash
It's pathetic how I miss you
I'm not worth it just a stupid piece of shit
It's pathetic how I miss you
But I'll keep spinning
Sometimes mothered, sometimes pushed aside
But i can't deny
That I feel dead but alright
Yeah, I'm still confused at least this proves I'm alive
I'd rather die tonight
Than admit we messed it up
We are the freaks we stay together
I'd rather die tonight
We are the freaks we stay together
(Fellow sufferers, yeah)
(You freaks, you freaks)
(Uh-uh-uh)
(Yeah, yeah, you freaks, you freaks)
(You are the fellow sufferers)
I'd rather die tonight
Than admit we messed it up
We are the freaks we stay together
I'd rather die tonight
We are the freaks we stay together
The lyrics to Pabst's song "Freaks" convey a sense of self-worthlessness and longing for a past love. The singer expresses feelings of being insignificant and useless, referring to themselves as a "piece of trash" and a "piece of shit." Despite these negative self-perceptions, there is a strong emotional attachment to the person they miss, leading to a feeling of pathos.
The chorus of the song, "I'd rather die tonight than admit we messed it up, we are the freaks we stay together," suggests a reluctance to confront the reality of a failed relationship. The singer would rather die than acknowledge their part in the deterioration of the connection. This refusal to accept their role may stem from a fear of being alone or the belief that they belong with the person they miss, even if it is a dysfunctional relationship.
The mention of being "tied forever by our love and our lies" implies a sense of entanglement and emotional bondage in the past relationship. The use of drugs, indicated by "soft drugs to back up our alibis," suggests a means of escaping or numbing the pain caused by the lies and the cracks in the relationship. The physical signs of their struggle are depicted through "cracked lips, red eyes," further emphasizing their emotional turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics of "Freaks" revolve around feelings of worthlessness, longing, and a desperate desire to hold onto a fractured relationship. The singer's confusion and conflicted emotions demonstrate their struggle to find a sense of self amidst the chaos and pain.

I'm not worth it just a useless piece of trash
I believe my worth is nonexistent, nothing more than worthless garbage
It's pathetic how I miss you
It's pitiful how I long for your presence
I'm not worth it just a stupid piece of shit
I consider myself utterly foolish and insignificant
I do feel confused at least this proves I'm alive
In my state of confusion, I find solace in the fact that it indicates I am alive
I'd rather die tonight
I would prefer to cease existence this very night
Than admit we messed it up
I would rather choose death over acknowledging our mistakes
We are the freaks we stay together
We, the outsiders and misfits, stick together
Tied forever by our love and our lies
Bound eternally by our affection and the falsehoods we tell
Soft drugs to back up our alibis
We rely on mild narcotics to support our excuses
Cracked lips, red eyes
My lips are dry and split, my eyes puffy and bloodshot
But I'll keep spinning
Yet I will continue to drift aimlessly
Sometimes mothered, sometimes pushed aside
Occasionally nurtured, but often neglected or dismissed
But I can't deny
Yet I cannot reject
That I feel dead but alright
The sensation of being lifeless, yet strangely okay
Yeah, I'm still confused at least this proves I'm alive
Indeed, I remain bewildered, but at least it confirms my existence
(Fellow sufferers, yeah)
(Comrades in agony, yes)
(You freaks, you freaks)
(You outcasts, you outcasts)
(Uh-uh-uh)
(Uh-uh-uh)
(Yeah, yeah, you freaks, you freaks)
(Yes, yes, you freaks, you freaks)
(You are the fellow sufferers)
(You are the kindred souls in affliction)
I'd rather die tonight
I would prefer to cease existence this very night
Than admit we messed it up
I would rather choose death over acknowledging our mistakes
We are the freaks we stay together
We, the outsiders and misfits, stick together
I'd rather die tonight
I would prefer to cease existence this very night
We are the freaks we stay together
We, the outsiders and misfits, stick together

I discovered Leoniden on Reddit.Have since bought all their available music on itunes and made my own “Leoniden “ t shirt because their merchandise is not yet available in my country. The fact they are not “big” yet blows my mind. What an amazing talent.
