Freak Lyrics

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Yeah its about conformity and being a dissolute from the "in crowd". It's about being yourself and not trying to live up to peopls expectations.

It's all about being a Freak. No offence to grungers (I am one), but thats what grunge is all about. Kurt Cobain didn't want to be popular and this destroyed him ultimately

Grunge is what was made up by the media and Poneman of Sub Pop said it as a joke. From all the grunge bands no one called their music grunge. Kurt labeled his music punkrock and some songs new wave. And that Kurt didnt want to popular is also not true. He said once that he wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

The song is about how people conform to fit with the "in crowd." The first few lines are kind of out of place. On a Silverchair site it said that Daniel saw a show on like Discovery channel or something like that where there was some boy who got rabies in the Andes, and there was a picture of him sitting on a big red ball. Thats what inspired the song, that kid was a "freak."

This is a great song!! Sarcaism is one of the best forms of humor. "Yeah, I'm a freak of nature " THe sinfer is labaling himself a word used by society to label people who are different to normal. He then attacks those people by saying "If only I could be as cool as you" this is the joke. Daniel is proud to be individual and makes a mockery of those people who are sheep or as he puts it "cool"

This song fucking.. is awesome. I can relate to it so well because a lot of people call me a "freak" for being an individual.. and not caring what others think of me.. You only live once.. you only have one life.. you might as well make the best out of your OWN individuality.. As Kurt Cobain once said "Being like someone else, is a waste of who you are"

THIS SONG'S EVERYTHING!! Body and Soul I'm freak... ah... "You're so fucking special.. I wish I was special.. But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo... What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" Radiohead - Creep lol
