FREAK OF NATURE - MANGINI
. is available now on all streaming platforms:
Lyric Meaning Below:
Beyond being about forces of nature like hurricanes, as well as other unstoppable forces, this lyric was inspired by elite athlete Rob Gronkowski who played TE (tight end) for the New England Patriots. The way that he would pound through opposing players reminded of what a hurricane does. Players in many sports have special qualities. Neither critiques nor praises affect their nature, change what they are or how they work. The non-effect of critiques and opinions seems pointless and somewhat funny to me. They simply do what they do while seeming like super-heroes at times. For a song lyric, “force of nature” didn’t sound as impactful as “freak of nature.” The sound of the “ka” in “hurricane” was more similar to “freak“ than say, “tornado.” It is sound that put the two together. Like all the lyrics on the album, they can be interpreted by the listener.
Lyrics:
force; unstoppable.
on course; unstoppable.
torrid air always rises.
and there’s nothing new, no surprises.
laws of nature win;
they are Free From Opinion.
it’s mother nature’s spin
there it comes smashing forth.
freak of nature;
a killer hurricane with all its force.
freak of nature;
and it’s pounding everything in its path;
freak of nature;
cuz it’s a hurricane and all its wrath.
freak of nature!
the pressure is from way down low.
and then the chaos screams with violent lightning and storms.
It gets stronger and stronger and stronger,
till the eye is formed.
laws of nature win;
They Are Free From Opinion.
Or anybody’s Clever Spin!!
there it comes smashing forth.
freak of nature;
a killer hurricane with all its force.
freak of nature;
and it’s pounding, pounding everything in its path;
freak of nature;
cuz it’s a hurricane and all its wrath.
freak of nature!
freak. Freaks! freak of nature
freak. Freaks! freak of nature
and it’s pounding everything in its path;
freak of nature;
cuz it’s a hurricane and all its wrath.
freak of nature!
