Freak
Spunge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to sprout wings and try to fly,
I want to drop (bombs) on passers-by, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh
I want to be purple spotted pink,
I want to have breath that you could drink,
I want to make people stop and think, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I want to have three legs colored blue,
I want to be made of sick and goo,
I don't want to have one head, I want to, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I want to be ugly as sin,
I want to leave trails wherever I've bin,
I want to resemble something you stepped in, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
Na-na-nana, na-na-nana, na-na-nana
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
I'm a freak I'm a freak, I'm a freak, I'm a freak.
I say na-na-na and you run away.
The song "Freak" by Spunge is an anthem to being different and unique. The lyrics express a desire to break free from societal norms and expectations, to be a freak and stand out from the crowd. The imagery used in the song is vivid and absurd, with the singer expressing a desire to have purple spotted pink skin, three legs colored blue, and to be made of sick and goo. These desires reflect a longing to be seen and recognized, even if it means being perceived as strange or unappealing.
The repetition of the phrase "na-na-na" throughout the song creates a sense of defiance and playfulness. The singer seems to revel in the fact that the people around him are put off by his eccentricities and want to escape him, implying that being a freak is something to be proud of. The driving punk rock beat and catchy chorus make for an energetic and memorable song that celebrates individuality and non-conformity.
