Still a Freak
Embracing Uniqueness: Still a Freak by The Waterboys
Lyrics
I'm still a freak, I never went straight
I maintain my individuality; I haven't conformed to societal norms.
I kept my appointment with fate
I honored my destiny or predetermined path.
And like every human being that was ever born
Similar to everyone who has ever lived, I am one-of-a-kind.
I'm unique
Emphasizing my uniqueness.
Things disappear, but I'm still here
Despite things changing or disappearing, I endure and persist.
I'm still a freak
Reiterating my nonconformity.
I'm still a head and I'm doing fine
Confirming I'm still intellectually sound and doing well.
I can hear your voice in my mind
I can recall your words in my thoughts.
You ain't singing my praises now honey
You aren't expressing admiration for me now, save it for when I'm no more.
Do it when I'm dead
Expressing a lack of bitterness despite facing challenges; I persevere.
I'm not bitter but I'm no quitter
Emphasizing my persistence and unique mindset.
I'm still a head
(No specific meaning, serves as a break in the lyrics.)
I'm still awake, I knew all along
Being conscious and aware; recognizing the abnormality in not being eccentric.
If you ain't crazy there's something wrong
Rejecting the idea of coincidence or error; alluding to a purposeful existence.
And there's no such thing as a coincidence
Challenging the reality of confusion; suggesting that it's a deceptive perception.
Or a mistake
Remaining vigilant and aware despite life's uncertainties.
And all this confusion is all just illusion
Reaffirming my nonconformity; indicating that I haven't been silenced.
I'm still awake
Flying the flag symbolizes continuing to represent my unique identity.
I'm still a freak, I ain't been gagged
Referencing the rise and fall of empires as a metaphor for life's ups and downs.
I'm still flying the flag
Reaffirming my uniqueness despite external circumstances.
The game's movin' so fast, who knows where it's gonna
Continuing to express my distinctiveness amidst life's unpredictable nature.
Be this time next week!
Recognizing the transience of life and the inevitability of change.
Empires rise and fall, but through it all
Emphasizing that, despite everything, I remain true to my individuality.
I'm still a freak!
Reiterating my nonconformity and unique identity.
