[Chorus]
Freak show, you're a paralyzer, I've been told
Uh-oh, am I clueless? I don't know why
Freak show, bite my eyes out, rip them from the holes
Uh-oh, am I clueless? I don't know why
[Refrain]
[Verse 1]
Ego got the best of you, it truly shows
Uh-oh, are you clueless? I don't know why
Ego, you are not a god, you're just a joke
Uh-oh, you're so clueless, I don't know why
[Refrain]
[Verse 2]
You're selfish, helpless, rude, and aloof
Don't want a thing to do with you
You're shameless, graceless, weak at the core
Never laughed at somebody more
Why tell me your secrets
Your falling outs, all your regrets?
All the people that I don't know
To somebody else, am I one of those?
[Chorus]
Freak show, you're a paralyzer, I've been told
Uh-oh, am I clueless? I don't know why
Freak show, bite my eyes out, rip them from the holes
Uh-oh, am I clueless? I don't know why
[Refrain]
[Outro]
Within the first ten minutes of me being there, he shows me the second-story balcony of his house and he’s like ‘Oh, this is where I go to throw things.’ I’m over here laughing because I think he’s telling a joke. He’s like ‘No, no, I really throw stuff off here. See? Wanna see me really throw something? This is my throwing chair,’ takes out a plastic chair, his throwing chair, throws it off the balcony. Lands in the pool. […] I kind of think it’s a little funny. I think it’s messed up but it’s so ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh.
The use of the word ‘ego’ here could be a reflection of the fact that this song was inspired by a guy who wouldn’t stop asking the singer if she had googled him before.
Asks me at least ten times throughout the night if I’ve ever googled him and would not believe me when I told him I’ve never googled him. He would really pry because he really thought I’d googled him. I never googled him! I never googled him, he really thought I googled him.
Wrote this song about this time I went on a date with a guy and he kept doing this quirky thing where he wouldn’t stop asking me if I googled him and texting another girl the whole time.
These lyrics could be referring to the fact that this song was written about a first date the singer experienced wherein the person she was on a date with left her locked outside his house to go see another girl.
He kept being like ‘Oh, you wanna see my party trick? Wanna see my party trick?’ […] At the end of the night, we get back after dinner, he’s like ‘Wanna see my party trick?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, sure, show me your party trick.’ He goes upstairs for fifteen minutes, gets on the phone with this girl he’s texting the whole time, comes back down, and is like, ‘Yeah I think I’m gonna go hang out with this girl.’ That’s your trick? Your party trick is that you’re gonna call your Uber before I even get a chance to call mine? The party trick is that your Uber comes in two minutes, mine still has twelve minutes? The party trick is that instead of canceling your Uber and waiting until I leave you’re actually gonna take the Uber to this girl’s house and then make me sit outside? That’s your trick?
