Come in please ?
Some say they're aliens
Some say they're strangers
Some say they're on this world
We will not conform to the masses
Whether they are ? or whether they attack us
C'mon! C'mon
Welcome to the freak show
Step up, status quo
Hope you enjoyed the ride
Welcome to the freak show
We got horns and halos
We ain’t afraid and ain’t buying a lie
Eat it, drink it, think it, be it, breathe it
Guess you don’t even know who I am
I don’t believe it, need it, see it, be it, breed it
Time to make my final stand
Welcome to the freak show
This is where the freaks go
This is the place that they can never take away
Welcome to the freak show
We don’t ever need though
One to tell us who to be, how to feed
I don’t care what they believe oh oh oh
Welcome to the freak show
Welcome to the outcast
Take a step across the tracks
We ain’t got nothing to prove
Don’t need your smiling face
Don’t need your handshake
'Cause this is my life to live and I ain’t living for you
Eat it, drink it, think it, be it, breathe it
Guess you don’t even know who I am
I don’t believe it, need it, see it, be it, breed it
Time to make my final stand
Welcome to the freak show
This is where the freaks go
This is the place that they can never take away
Welcome to the freak show
We don’t ever need though
One to tell us who to be, how to think
I don’t care what they believe oh oh oh
Welcome to the freak show
I’m a freak naturally
Just how I want to be
You’re a freak just like me
I’m a freak naturally
Just how I want to be
You’re a freak just like me
Welcome to the freak show
This is where the freaks go
This is the place that they can never take away
Welcome to the freak show
We don’t ever need though
One to tell us who to be, how to think
I don’t care what they believe
Freak show, freak show
The place that they can never take away
Freak show, freak show
The place that they can never take away
Oh oh oh welcome to the freak show
Oh oh oh welcome to the freak show
The song "Freakshow" by Skillet (LatestFreeDownload.Org) is about embracing one's individuality and not conforming to society's expectations. The lyrics are an invitation to the "freak show," a place where those who are considered different or strange are welcome. The song addresses the idea that society often views those who are different as outcasts, but the message of the song is that being unique should be celebrated rather than shunned.
The lyrics mention how some people may view those who are different as aliens or strangers, but the band encourages listeners to not conform to the masses, whether they are accepted or attacked for being themselves. The lyrics also mention how being true to oneself requires standing up for what one believes in and not letting others dictate how to live life. The theme of the song ultimately celebrates diversity and encourages listeners to be proud of who they are, rather than trying to fit into what society thinks is normal.
