Freak
UNDREAM feat. Silent Child & Hannabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come meet my monsters
Oh, such a fine collection of stranger things
My patience running thinner on this melting clock
Cerebrum jailed with thoughts most would consider rot
To think you're any different from an animal
A creature sick as you should be put down
Please, don't hide your imperfections
Nature took two tries to make the man in white
No, I don't mind, you are a beauty
Not temptation, you're my creation
Freak o' Friday night, know I'm the main attraction
Basket acrobat, they wanna see some action
Tinkering with my design, twist and tame my feral mind
Play with me till you've found another toy
Let me be your freak show
I can be your favorite monster
Rattle my whole cage
Remind me why I can't be fostered
Let me be your freak show
I can be your favorite monster
Lock me up, don't let me out
'Cause you know I can't help myself
You're wasting, you're wasting all
Of your time finding a cure when there's no disease
You're wasting, you're wasting all
Of your talent on an audience who sees a freak
Freak show
Come meet my monsters
Freak show
Freak show
Come meet my monsters
UNDREAM's song "Freak" is a haunting and chilling ode to embracing one's inner monsters and imperfections. The lyrics are a commentary on society's obsession with perfection and normality; the singer is inviting the audience into their "freak show" to showcase their collection of "monsters" and "stranger things" that they have embraced and identified with.
The opening stanza paints a picture of a twisted and eerie carnival-like atmosphere, with the singer as the ringleader. The next verse delves into the singer's own struggles with their inner demons, with mentions of a "melting clock" and "thoughts most would consider rot." Despite the internal turmoil that the singer describes, they still refuse to view themselves as any different from an animal or any other creature, further highlighting the theme of embracing imperfections.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Let me be your freak show," serves as a plea for acceptance and validation from the audience. The bridge of the song takes a dark and nihilistic turn, with the singer suggesting that those who try to "cure" or fix them are wasting their time and talents, and ultimately only see them as a "freak."
Overall, "Freak" is a commentary on the societal pressures to conform to certain standards of normality, and a call to embrace one's own unique, flawed self.

🎵info: 90bpm G harmonic minor
Progression: 6 4 1 5
fun fact, the chord 5 is major, making this more like harmonic minor than a standard minor. Gives it a more sinister feel.
