Freak Show
Unraveling Life's Circus: White Woolly's Freak Show
Lyrics
Look close and you might see, everything you thought you’d be
Reflecting on one's perceived identity and the potential disparity between expectations and reality.
Nothing ever works out right, everyone’s alone at night
Feelings of isolation and a sense of loneliness shared by everyone during nighttime.
Everybody knows your name, no one wants to play that game
Being recognized by many but not finding genuine connections or companionship.
Loving is the life for me, dreaming while I’m lost at sea
Expressing a preference for a life of love and dreams despite feeling adrift.
Everything’s changing, nothing stays the same
Emphasizing the constant nature of change and the inability to maintain the status quo.
My hearts rearranging, mind has gone insane
An emotional upheaval affecting both heart and mind, leading to a feeling of losing sanity.
I don’t belong here, my house has turned to dust, and now I just rust
Sense of displacement and disconnection from a familiar environment.
Takes a step into the night, reaches down to find his light
Seeking enlightenment or guidance during a challenging period.
Pondering a night time run, only thing he does for fun
Indicating a lack of fulfilling activities or pursuits in life.
Morning raises all new pain, only washed away by rain
New day brings renewed emotional distress, temporarily alleviated by rain.
Floods carry him far away, doesn’t tend to ever stay still
A metaphorical depiction of being carried away by overwhelming emotions and circumstances.
Everything’s changing, nothing stays the same
Reiterating the theme of constant change and instability.
We’re all deranged here, freak show’s on the way
Feeling out of place or abnormal, as if in a carnival-like scenario.
Nothing seems clear now, wires have all been crossed
Feeling confused and disoriented, unable to make sense of things.
Now I’m just lost
Expressing a sense of being directionless or without purpose.
There’s no explanation, you got dreams, well make em true
Encouragement to pursue aspirations despite obstacles.
There ain’t a hope in God for you
Feeling hopeless or abandoned by higher powers.
Do what you say you’re gonna do
Advocating for following through on commitments and promises.
Everything’s changing, nothing stays the same
Reiteration of the theme of continual change and instability.
Stranger and stranger with every passing day
Feeling increasingly disconnected from reality as time passes.
Beware of the danger, Of doing things their way
Warning against conforming to societal norms or pressures.
I cannot deal
An expression of inability to cope or handle the situation.
But nothing seems real, do what you feel
Advocating authenticity and following one's instincts or emotions.
Life is but a dream, but life can be so mean
Contemplation on the dual nature of life—dreamlike yet harsh and challenging.
Take it easy on me
A plea for understanding and leniency given life's difficulties.
