Freak
Unraveling Familial Patterns: "Freak" by Tommy Brown
Lyrics
Oh it runs in the family
Expressing a hereditary trait or characteristic within the family.
There’s not much that I can do
Feeling limited in influence or control over the situation.
It’s all between her and me
Referencing a personal issue or conflict between two individuals.
And the fun, the facts, the fools
Alluding to enjoyable moments, truth, and foolish behavior.
Oh it runs in the family
Reiterating the hereditary nature of a trait within the family.
There’s not much that I can do
Acknowledging limited control or influence in the given circumstances.
It’s all between him and me
Referring to a conflict or issue between two male individuals.
And the rights, the rest, the rules
Mentioning entitlements, remaining aspects, and established guidelines.
I ain’t responsible
Denying responsibility for a situation.
It is the freak you made me be
Attributing an unconventional or eccentric identity to external influences.
I ain’t responsible you see
Reiterating the lack of responsibility for the current state of affairs.
Oh it runs in the family
Highlighting the continuation of a hereditary trait within the family.
If it were up to them
Expressing a hypothetical situation and seeking identity revelation.
And we run so happily
Describing a joyful and carefree state of being.
Won’t you tell me who I am
Prompting a question about one's true identity.
Oh but it runs in the family
Emphasizing the hereditary aspect but distancing oneself from family traits.
But family don’t run in me
Asserting that family traits do not define the speaker.
If it were up them
Continuing the hypothetical situation and expressing a desire for guidance.
I’d have known how to be
Reflecting on a lack of knowledge or guidance from family.
Who’s to blame
Pondering on assigning blame and forgiveness in a situation.
And who’s to forgive
Questioning the sequence of responsibility and forgiveness.
Who’s next in line to tell me how to live
Wondering who will advise on the next steps in life.
I ain’t responsible
Repeating the denial of responsibility for a situation.
It is the freak you made me be
Associating a unique identity with external influences.
Oh I ain’t responsible you see
Reiterating the lack of responsibility for the current state.
I ain’t responsible
Denying responsibility and emphasizing external influence.
It is the freak you made out of me
Associating an unconventional identity with external factors.
Oh I ain’t responsible you see
Reiterating the lack of responsibility for the current state.
I ain’t responsible
Repeating the denial of personal responsibility and emphasizing external influence.
It is the freak you made out of me
Attributing an unconventional identity to external influences.
Oh I ain’t responsible, you see
Emphasizing the lack of responsibility and attributing an unconventional identity to external factors.
I ain’t responsible
Denying personal responsibility and attributing an unconventional identity to external influences.
It is the freak you made me be
Associating an unconventional identity with external influences.
Oh I ain’t responsible you see
Reiterating the lack of responsibility for the current state.
I ain’t responsible
Affirming the lack of personal responsibility in the situation.
I ain’t responsible
Reiterating the lack of personal responsibility.
