This song belongs to Skillet. I own nothing, all credit goes to the rightful owners. Video was made for entertainment purposes only. -jack frost (the niz)
Skillet saved my best friend’s life. She was thinking about suicide and I took her to a concert. She met the band and it’s like she’s a whole new person! She was so happy, I think that was the first time I had ever seen a REAL smile on her face. That is the main reason why I love this band so, so, very much. (I also love the people who sing/write the songs and lyrics) and I will be forever thankful that they saved her and so many others that I love. Thank you so much Skillet! For always being there when me, my friends, and my family needed you the most. ❤️❤️
That's beautiful...I grew up with passive suicidal thoughts and I love listening to Skillet because it gives me a voice and it gives hope. Love you, God bless!
They say the Freakshow is a Circus for a Psycho, they say its where The Resistance meet. They say there are Monsters, the monsters say that they are Sick of It. So its time the Rise, there Sick Of It, and Its Not Me Its You. I want to live, so i will be the Savior. I will Never Surrender. I have come Out Of Hell to save these monsters, and the older i get the worse the Madness in me becomes. My Fire and Fury will be my Hero, i am Awake and Alive, i Feel Invincible. This is the Last night and its One Day Too Late for you. Would it matter if i'm Falling Inside the Black after? I hear Whispers In the Dark. What happened to the Saviors Of The World? This night is almost over, and soon i will fall into a Comatose. My Rebirthing is over, I have finished what I wanted, and the monsters are free. So let me Live Free or Let Me Die. (not all skillet song names are here)
I love this song. I can really relate to it, since it's about people who are different, and there's somewhere that they can come together and just be who they are. A place that they can call home, a place that no one can take away from them.
Do you have strange friends? Or is everybody else just strange? Or maybe there is no real normal. After all, we are just another weirdo in one way or another
It's not well known because you can only get it on Rise Deluxe edition, and it was on sale for about one day sooo. You can see why it's not well known.
I'm deaf in my right ear, my body twitches and "glitches" out at random points, and I have one blue eye and one green one. I'm proud to be a freak. 💚😏💙
This would sound brilliant played over clips from "Mrs Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" - it totally fits that story's spirit. Somebody get on it!
SuperSongbird21 oml yasss sadly I'm the worst at editing otherwise I would've done it myself ;-; Btw this doesn't have anything to do with this song but my sister (8) is very sensitive at horror stuff so I decided it would be fun to show her a picture of a hollow at 11 pm.. Yeah she didn't sleep the week after. *I'm a horrible person*
A monster in the freak show desired to show he was awake and alive, so he decided to rise, and show the madness in me. He was sick of it how it was ran, so he went to a circus full of psychos and that was his last night
I love this song because it tells you to be yourself no matter what other people say you are unique and special and you're one of a kind and can never be replaced and to always keep your head up high because you know that you're always going to be better than the person that is making fun of you and just because of the way you look like they say don't judge a book by its cover
To be completely honest Skillet, Casting Crowns, and Newsboys changed my views on Christianity. I was agnostic until my friend introduced me to those bands and now here I am...
Wolf Demon people call me a freak all the time at school! I own it! I write the word FREAK on my wrist in pen every day to remind myself the monsters are the good guys and to forever be that monster and own it! "What is in a name, that which we call a rose by any other would smell as sweet" William Shakespeare!
Same. People used to 'tease' me and call me a freak. I just laughed and yelled out "I KNOW I AM!!!" Bullys would try to punch me, but I'm stronger than every kid in my school and I'm a 12 year old girl. So i would knock em down, and they would yell freak at me as i walk away. I'm one of the biggest freaks ever, and i enjoy it!
same. I wish they had a club for freaks so people like us who are freaks don't have to feel like we are out of place. Honestly, i cant stand looking around and seeing normal people who live normal lives staring at me like i came from another planet. It makes me feel more depressed than i already feel. That's why i listen to music as i play games so i can escape reality. But it always catches up eventually.
For all of the people commenting about this not being a Christian song you’re the reason this song was made lol. You’re praising a song that’s about being yourself and then bashing someone for being there self???? How does that work? Skillet IS a Christian band BUT not all of their songs are about God. Example: “Those Nights” is about staying up all night playing video games with your best friend. Maybe a Christian person met their best friend at church or something idk. The meaning of songs are so important which is sad because mainstream media is just non sense. They’re too scared to talk about the subjects real artist talk about but back to what I was saying. What matters is the way you interpret the songs and the way you relate to thing. This song is about standing up and being yourself when people bash you for being different. When people don’t accept you, you don’t give up on being yourself you find others who are “different” like you. I’m a Christian so I ALSO see it as people hate on the fact that I’m Christian but that’s me being myself. I don’t change because others say no and tell me my beliefs are wrong, I lean into God and my church during my hardest times. The meaning of a song is what YOU make it even if it’s a different view from someone’s else’s
I know I'm a freak, I know I'm a weirdo, I know I'm a loser. Maybe that's a good thing. Popular people be hating on my fabulousness. I stopped caring what they thought about me a LOOOONG time ago.
In alot of dysfunctional families the black sheep is just the one who can see through everyones bullshit to the truth. And im proud to call myself the black sheep of the family....
Me entering gym class one day: So I made my way through the crowd of popular kids by the door singing this. One said "excuuuuuuseeee me?" And I was all like "IMMA FREAK, NATURALLY, JUST HOW I WANNA BE! YOUR A FREAK JUST LIKE MEH!!" And then I ran away.
*kidnaps all the freaks* You are coming home with me, I promise I'll protect all of you with my life and no one and I mean no one will make fun of you and torment you ever again, I can promise you that.
I think this for all those fandoms who get stereotyped and hated for no reason such as bronies, furries (etc.) I have several brony friends who are straight, and are cool people :D
ehhhhh... There's some people who are completely different from anyone else... I would know, im one of them. if I ran a circus, it'd be full of psychos cause I am one
Trinity Dattner Lol thank you! Yeah it's Skillet song 100% but this video is my own editing creativeness. I've met the band the couple times and they're the coolest ever. They should let me work on their official videos dontcha think? ;) lol
I mean, it might have something to do with the fact that they're a Christian band. If that gets your panties in a knot sir, than you need to not listen to them anymore. :) Have a good day.Magic Canadian
Okay, well first of all all, that's a horrible example you made there. Second, yeah sure, I guess there is a slight possibility that this song may not be about God. But that does NOT mean that you should leave such a rude comment on my comment, about what YOU think about the song means. I interpreted this song as a christian song, for valid reasons. So go away before you embarrass yourself anymore. :) Magic Canadian
I'm not embarrassing myself at all and I left such a rude comment because I tired of seeing all these religious comments on a song that doesn't have a single word relating to god. Sorry if your insulted but I'm not sorry if I come of as an asshole
Whenever someone calls me a freak I littearly say to their face 'have you heard the song freakshow? By skillet, listen to it then say it again, 'cause your a freak just like me.' They flip out and call me names behind my back and all I do is laugh 'cause their freaked out by the songs I listen to. hey, its who I am, now leave me be.
Great job, Jack Frost. I loved the video, the font that was used for the lyrics, the artwork, but I really liked your finishing touch by ending with "Later, Freaks". Nice. Well done
I'll leave that to people who actually know how to make videos. XD I'm useless with technology. But the seed's been planted. Go forth and spread the word that there's a video that needs to be converted to a Danny Phantom AMV! Someone out there is bound to make it happen.
+DEMON KNIGHT I looked through the comments to see all of the arguments and it's so stupid a lot argue that it's referring to the in fighting between different interpretations of the religion or stupid people saying it means Jesus Freaks.
me: I'm a freak naturally teacher:.......... me: YOUR A FREAK LUST LIKE MEH!!! friends: WELCOME TO THE FREAK SHOW THIS IS WERE MAH FRIENDS AND ME GO popular people: omg there such freaks and weirdos no wonder they have no friend me: YOUR A FREAK JUST LIKE MAH *Screeches at them* yay
anytime I will always appreciate the great things in life especially things like Jack Frost, Harley Quinn, Joker, Black Buttler, Blue Exersist, Fairy Tale, Soul Eater, Super Natural, Shadow Hunters, (and the list goes on but I don't wanna bore you to death) or any of the great arts such as music! just know you are awesome for making a music video for skillet and having your user name is Jack Frost God bless you!😄
What's "normal"? "Normal" If you found yourself here, just know, you aren't "normal". "Normal" (For me atleast) is a curse. Being a freak is the way to go.
I had a Quotev account, but somebody hacked into it TAT my tumblr is my-fandoms-are-my-family. I think my old Quotev account was like.... @CrystallizedChaos or something
Personally i think the most important thing about music is the music not the meaning so lets end the argument this song is about god or not if an atheist lessens to it then it doesn't madder and yes i'm an atheist and if you don't like that then suck it so keep you personal opinions to your self and that should end that argument.
Music IS about meaning but it doesn’t matter if it’s about God or just being yourself. The thing that matters is how you relate to the song and what it means to you in whatever way you want. I look at the song as be who you want to be no matter what others tell you and when others don’t accept you, don’t change, find the group of people you fit in with . I’m Christian so I ALSO look at the song as not being ashamed to be a Christian because so many people hate me for that but it’s who I am and no one can take that away from me
