Freak Love
Toro y Moi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry if I don't have faith in you and all the boys have living with your cultured ways.
Sorry if I don't have faith in you, seems like you had a fail in love-now the love is gonna let you go. I'm not sure if I'd go there.
I don't believe in free love.




Overall Meaning

In "Freak Love," Toro y Moi critiques the concept of free love, particularly in the context of failed relationships. The first two lines of the chorus suggest a lack of faith in someone who has allegedly lost touch with their cultured values, which may have contributed to their failed relationship. Despite this, Toro y Moi expresses hesitation about pursuing a romantic relationship with this person.


The final line of the chorus, "I don't believe in free love," drives home the song's message about the pitfalls of uninhibited romantic relationships. The lyrics highlight the potential for disillusionment and hurt when love is freely given and quickly discarded. Toro y Moi suggests that love should be valued and respected, rather than treated as a disposable commodity.


Interestingly, the song's title and chorus reference the 1960s counterculture movement, which embraced the idea of free love as a means of rejecting traditional social norms. However, Toro y Moi's lyrics are a departure from this philosophy, suggesting that love should not be commoditized or taken for granted.

I think the lyric is actually "And she's on her knees" instead of "and she's on her needs." :~)
