Quirky
The Midnight Beast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not married but I wear a wedding ring on my hand
I go to sleep when I want, 'cause I don't have bedtime planned
Don't obey by the rules, sometimes I don't even care
If I'm out eating at a buffet I'll have more than my share

WHAT! I'm a bad influence, don't hang around with me
I ride my bike on the pavement, wear my clothes in the shower
I'm straight up crazy
I've got a beard, I've got an afro, I've got eyebrows that rock, so
If you want to out-quirky us than take your best shot

I don't sing in tune, why?
Cuz I'm quirky
Backwards lyrics my of all rap I
Cuz I'm quirky
I sip my Coffee through a straw bitch
Cuz I'm quirky
N' I'll still rock a cap when I'm thirty... WHY!
Cuz I'm quirky

The other day, I had a piece of toast
But I didn't even butter it, it tasted gross
I DON'T CARE, what I do... I'm a real live wire
I hold a match 'til it burns... I'm playing with fire

FUCK vegetables, I don't eat none of that shit
FUCK education, I don't study one little bit
FUCK THE FONZ, HE THINKS HE'S FUCKING COOLER THAN ME
AND FUCK SINGING THIS SONG, CUZ I'm TOO QUIRKY TO SING

I wear red and pink, why?
Cuz I'm quirky
I greet you with a goodbye
Cuz I'm quirky
I have eleven beers a day, why?
Cuz I'm quir-
No, no that just makes you an alcoholic...
N' I'll still have a beard when I'm thirty... WHY!
Cuz I'm quirky

Ripping a hole in your jeans
Owning a pink limousine
Learning to ride a unicycle whilst your dressed as the queen
Fighting a bear with one hand
Getting a full-body tan
Joining a post-apocalyptic-gothic hardcore band

I like Home Alone 3
Cuz I'm quirky,
I'm drinking peppermint tea,
Cuz I'm quirky,
I got a picture of the hoff, see?
Cuz I'm quirky,




N' I'll still rock a cap when I'm thirty... WHY!
Cuz I'm quirky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Quirky” by The Midnight Beast is an anthem to their eccentricity and overall disregard for societal norms. The song starts with a proclamation of how the singer wears a wedding ring despite not being married and disregarding bedtimes. As the song progresses, they reveal more of their peculiarities, such as wearing clothes during a shower, riding a bicycle on the pavement, having an afro and rock eyebrows, and drinking coffee with a straw. They also show a disdain for healthy eating and education, and even declare that they hold a match until it burns, showing a reckless and potentially dangerous attitude. The chorus repeats the line “Cuz I’m quirky” with different examples of their oddities, showing an unapologetic pride for their eccentricities.


The song seems to mock conformity and the pressure to fit in a specific mold. It encourages embracing one’s weirdness and disregarding what others may think, as exemplified by the line “If you want to out-quirky us, than take your best shot.” The song may also hint at the weariness of the music industry’s expectation for their artists to fit a particular image or sound.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the new fans the midnight beast are getting!:D But when you say you love them and you only know them from e4. Look at their old stuff perhaps before you're their "BIGGEST FAN" when you've never even seen their tik tok parody:|
