In June of last year, late night drive home was born. Since then, they have released their first EP, gained over 1,000,000 listeners on Spotify, and earned a song with over 25 million streams.
Freaks
late night drive home Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From everyone, I need a place to stay
Where I can cover up my face
Don't cry, 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 dream 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 lyrics of Late Night Drive Home's "Freaks" express a feeling of isolation and alienation. The singer is asking for someone's help to escape from everyone and find a place to stay where they can hide their face. The repeated phrase "I am just a freak" conveys a sense of self-stigmatization, which may stem from feeling different or not fitting in with societal norms. The imagery of parasites and black holes in the second stanza further underscores the darkness and loneliness that the singer feels. The line "I dream of you almost every night, hopefully, I won't wake up this time" suggests that the person they dream about may be the only one who understands them, and they don't want to lose that connection by waking up.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the struggle to find acceptance and connection in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. The repeated chant of "I am just a freak" seems to suggest that the singer has internalized the negative labels that others may have attached to them, and reinforces the feeling that they don't belong. However, the dream of finding sanctuary with another person also suggests that there is hope for overcoming this sense of isolation and finding a place to belong.

Discovered you guys after listening to stress relief and I’ve fallen in love with the band. I love the emotion you can hear not only in his voice but the music overall.
