Freaks
Television Blonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't kill me
Just help me run away
From everyone
I need a place to stay
Where I can
Cover up my face
Don't cry
Cause I am just a freak

I am just a freak
I am just a freak
I am just a freak

My head is
Filled with parasites
Black holes
Cover up my eyes
I dreamed
Of you
Almost every night
Hopefully
I won't wake up this time

I won't wake up this time




I won't wake up this time
I won't wake up this time

The song's melancholic but haunting melody contributes to the mood and overall message of the song.
