Freaks
Embracing Scars: A Journey to Self-Liberation in Hightop Hangover's 'Freaks'
Lyrics
Early morning, I cut my sleep as I wake in sweat
Waking up early with a sense of anxiety, disturbed sleep.
My nails run deep in the palm of my hands or they tear through the sheet, yeah
Expressing inner turmoil through physical sensations and imagery.
Night terrors make me jump out of bed
Experiencing nightmares that cause a sudden awakening.
Memories putting my life on the fritz
Past memories causing chaos and disruption in life.
They're taking me down, with no people around
Struggling alone without support.
Like a deer, I duck and then I'm gone, ah
Quickly avoiding problems like a deer fleeing danger.
Life ain't what it seem to be
Reflecting on the disparity between appearance and reality.
Can't believe what happened to me
Shock and disbelief at life's unexpected turns.
These scars they'll make you beautiful
Embracing scars as unique and beautiful features.
Mirror mirror just give me some time
Seeking self-reflection in a mirror to understand and accept changes.
Can't stand to look at me now
Struggling to face one's own image.
These scars will fade and freaks will grow
Believing that scars will diminish, and personal growth will occur.
But I'm feeling good today
Feeling positive and confident despite challenges.
Not gonna let the tears bring me down
Choosing not to be affected by sadness and tears.
You're cool, you are, you right
Acknowledging the cool and confident aspects of oneself.
You're probably gonna start up a fight
Anticipating potential conflicts due to individuality.
But I'm feeling good today
Continuing to feel good despite potential conflicts.
I got my lipstick on, yeah
Symbolic use of lipstick as a form of self-expression.
I'm a freak, so let's be freaks
Embracing uniqueness and encouraging others to do the same.
Nobody's gonna, gonna, gonna bring me
Defiance against negativity and external pressures.
Down, down, down
Repeated emphasis on resilience against challenges.
Down, down, down
-Down, down, down
-Down, down, down
-Life ain't what it seem to be
Reiteration of the transformative power of scars and personal growth.
Can't believe what happened to me
-These scars they'll make you beautiful
-Mirror mirror just give me some time
-Can't stand to look at me now
-These scars will fade and freaks will grow
-I'm casting away the years left with pain
Choosing to let go of painful memories and move forward.
It's leaving me here to be
Accepting the present and being true to oneself.
The struggles they hurt, the struggles be gone
Overcoming struggles and leaving them behind.
I'm free, oh
Feeling liberated and free from past burdens.
But where did the time go
Reflecting on the passage of time and its mysteries.
Dissociate, I lay awake, well
Experiencing detachment and insomnia.
So I shove it down your throat
Expressing frustration and defiance towards others.
Good luck trying to breath
Suggesting difficulty in overcoming challenges.
Good things will come to me
Hope for positive outcomes and a better future.
No more shit, don't you see, don't you see
Rejecting negativity and a commitment to self-improvement.
Yeah, yeah, don't you see
Repetition for emphasis on rejecting negativity.
Don't you see
-Life ain't what it seem to be
Reiteration of the transformative journey and personal growth.
Can't believe what happened to me
-These scars they'll make you beautiful
-Mirror mirror just give me some time
-Can't stand to look at me now
-Life ain't what it seem to be
-Can't believe what happened to me
-These scars they'll make you beautiful
-Mirror mirror just give me some time
-Can't stand to look at me now
-These scars will fade and freaks will grow
Belief that scars will fade, and individuals will evolve positively.
