Freak
The Mistakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dreamt a heavy dream last night
I dreamt you fucked every guy in town
But what do I know, I'm just an insecure emo freak
And I know my depression will get between your tongue and mine
But can we deal with that when I'm tasting your sweetest spots

So if you're down and the voices settle down
If you're not afraid, let them hear you say

I know that God's got plans for me, and I'll be damned if it's heaven
Take a look at me, do I give a shit? I'm just another emo freak

I didn't get a chance to dream last night cause
Anxiety doesn't have a fucking sense of time
Convinced myself that you hated me but
That's what happens when you over-think the petty things
I'd rather be sucking on your clit instead of writing my next hit
That's the story of a confused horny teen
But that's just me, don't you see? I'm not even sure about me

So if you're down and the voices settle down
If you're not afraid, let them hear you say

I know that God's got plans for me, and I'll be damned if it's heaven
Take a look at me, do I give a shit? I'm just another emo freak





I'm just another trouble making, make up wearing sinning little ball of horny emo freak

Overall Meaning

The Mistakes’ song “Freak” portrays the internal struggle of an insecure teenager who is contemplating the effects of his mental health on his relationship. The lyrics describe a nightmare he had where his partner cheated on him with every guy in town. The song shows how his depression and overthinking behavior is causing him to question the relationship and his self-worth. He feels like just another “emo freak” who can't control his emotions or his desire for his partner.


However, in the chorus, he does find some strength and self-assurance. He knows that God has plans for him, and he refuses to condemn himself to heaven for his actions. He also acknowledges his own worth, despite his struggles, and challenges those around him to be honest about their own experiences and emotions. Although he recognizes his own faults, he remains unapologetic about who he is, embracing his sexuality and emotional state.


Overall, “Freak” is a song about an individual struggling with insecurity, depression, and mental health, but ultimately learning to accept and love themselves for who they are. It is an anthem for those who struggle with similar issues and a reminder that it is okay to be flawed and vulnerable.
