freak out
This is a song sang by Avril Lavigne. It appears on her second album, Under My Skin. It's rather fast and upbeat, and it's catching, whilst still being slightly inspiring at the same time.Why
To be blunt, I love this song, as I love most all of Avril's songs, especially the songs on her second album. Each one has meaning to me in different ways, and this one just inspires me, in the sense that when you're being run into a rut, that you should just freak out and let it all go and move on; as such, this is one of her 'I don't care' songs.I also think this song is dramatically underated. It's often ignored, and was never put out as a single, and no one ever really talks about it. But I really do love it. When I was going through a bad spot, and when I've gone through bad spots, I've listened to this. It helps you to keep fighting and keep going. I sang it and sang it and sang it and felt better. It's not just me, either; a friend of mine had a horrific time and she heard this song, and it was like a life jacket, telling you it was okay to freak out and that no one can tell you what to do.
I'm Alright
Is basically a part of the lyrics. When I chose the name, it was on a whim, but I think it pretty much sums up the song. By letting it all out, you're okay; by not having to rely on someone, you're okay; you will be alright.Lyrics
Try to tell me what I shouldn't do,You should know by now,
I won't, listen to you.
Walk around with my hands up in the air.
Cause I don't care...
Cause I'm alright, I'm fine,
Just freak out let it go.
I'm gonna live my life.
I can't ever run and hide,
I won't compromise,
Cause I'll never know.
I'm gonna close my eyes...
I can't, watch the time go by,
I won't, keep it inside,
Freak out let it go.
Just freak out let it go.
You don't always have to do everything right.
Stand up for yourself, and put up a fight.
Walk around with your hands, up in the air,
Like you don't care.
Cause I'm alright, I'm fine,
Just freak out let it go.
I'm gonna live my life.
I can't ever run and hide,
I won't compromise,
Cause I'll never know.
I'm gonna close my eyes...
I can't, watch the time go by,
I won't, keep it inside,
Freak out let it go.
On my own.
Let it go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah...
Just let me live my life.
I can't ever run and hide,
I won't compromise,
Cause I'll never know.
I'm gonna close my eyes,
I can't, watch the time go by,
I won't, keep it inside,
Freak out let it go.
Gonna freak out, let it go.
Gonna freak out, let it go.
