Freak Out Lyrics
Even in the morning
With the light upon your face,
I look up and show the motions I'll use.
I can hear you breathing,
I feel the space and I...
Oh, I...
I’ll be the one you'll never know.
Once you were the wildest man,
I've ever known,
Free from what the others said.
On your own.
I’ll go, I’ll go in the place you’ll never know.
Wait until your wedding day,
Then you’ll know!
Take it for your medicine,
Take what you sew!
Freak out, freak out, freak out!
I’ve been sure,
Will you look me in the eye?
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
I hope you do, I hope you stay!
And never leave.
Once it’s never, nothing, no
I heard you say,
Once it’s never, nothing, no
Take all you get!
Freak out, freak out, freak out!
I’ve been sure,
Will you look me in the eye?
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
Hope you do, I hope you stay!
Even in the morning,
Even inside,
I come on over,
And wake you in the night.
I feel you tremble,
I hear you call,
I’ll be waiting
Up inside the moment
I thought you knew,
I see you walking,
You’re turning blue,
Come up behind me and hear me say,
I’ll be holding on...for a day!
Will you look me in the eye?
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
Hope you do, I hope you stay!
Don’t go running from the light,
Don’t go running to the sea!
Come on up inside my mind,
I hope you go there, stay there,
Hide there, wait there!
With the light upon your face,
I look up and show the motions I'll use.
I can hear you breathing,
I feel the space and I...
Oh, I...
I’ll be the one you'll never know.
I've ever known,
Free from what the others said.
On your own.
I’ll go, I’ll go in the place you’ll never know.
Then you’ll know!
Take it for your medicine,
Take what you sew!
I’ve been sure,
Will you look me in the eye?
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
I hope you do, I hope you stay!
And never leave.
I heard you say,
Once it’s never, nothing, no
Take all you get!
I’ve been sure,
Will you look me in the eye?
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
Hope you do, I hope you stay!
Even inside,
I come on over,
And wake you in the night.
I feel you tremble,
I hear you call,
I’ll be waiting
I thought you knew,
I see you walking,
You’re turning blue,
Come up behind me and hear me say,
I’ll be holding on...for a day!
Will you run from what you see?
Will you see me in the light?
Hope you do, I hope you stay!
Don’t go running to the sea!
Come on up inside my mind,
I hope you go there, stay there,
Hide there, wait there!

great first single
(I love this kind of vague lyrics, but with excellent energetic music!)
I think this is a song about general chasm between being wild and being civilized. Between one side which longs for freedom, honesty, simple and straight talk and acts, and other which complies to general social norms and rules. I think the official video is pretty straightforward - it shows a homemade video of New Year's party in 1994, crazy excesses of a girl, her dancing, eating and drinking, the main singer appears and she ends up hugging him and throwing up at him. The vid ends with lead singer watching the video with her, who is revealed to be his newlywed wife. So the song sings about change from the evening with partying and booze, into "the one you'll never know", so a person different than in that carefree party time. She is a wild man, free from others, isn't concerned what will others say about her and he likes that. But he can't stay that way and he'll retain his civilized daily manners and "go to places she'll never know". He likes her, a lot, and is worried how will she react to his daily "normal" behaviour and he wants her to stay with him, even though he can't be that free/wild as they were at the party.
