	That's an interesting look at it, that Freakshow is about fame. To me, it's always been about high school. A lot of these songs are about dealing with people's perceptions of you and the actions that unfold because of those perceptions (No Association, Pop Song For Us Rejects, Learn to Hate, Freak). So it's always seemed like it was about high school, since Daniel was around that age (16, 17) when this came out. And Silverchair still went to a regular high school regardless of their rising popularity. It must have been quite a struggle. So perhaps it's both, dealing with fame and all the bullshit that high school entails. As far as this song goes, I feel it's very, very sardonic. "C'mon, abuse me more, I like it". Of course he doesn't like it; he loathes it. But he doesn't know how to confront it except with sarcasm.

	i think in daniels eyes it about the media bullshit, and the way people treat him, its basically saying fuck u!

No Picture Mikel Average	#3 by Mikel A. at Oct 29, 1979 at 1:10 PM EST
	"throw the sailors overboard" fucking awsome.

No Picture Jarrett Lead Player	#4 by Jarrett Sandlin at Dec 29, 1981 at 4:56 AM EST
	This song is a sarcastic remark to how people can be so emotionally and physically abusive. Come on, who wants to be abused, but Daniel says, come on, just do it a little more, you know. He doesn't really want to be abused, if you catch my drift...

No Picture IM A MAN WHO C Rhythm Player	#5 by IM A MAN WHO CHANGED INTO A BEAST at Oct 6, 1995 at 7:12 PM EST
	What does the 'Throw the sailors overboard' part mean?

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#6 by Christian Chavez at Aug 25, 2001 at 2:50 PM EST
	This is the song that got me into Silverchair. Freakshow came out when I was in 8th grade, and this song was my anthem for awhile...

No Picture Micke Lead Player	#7 by Micke Nordin at Oct 24, 2001 at 6:26 PM EST
	i just love the melodies n how he sang it.

No Picture kewl Wanna Be	#8 by kewl dude at May 9, 2007 at 3:13 AM EST
	this is such a sad song..its about being famous..think about it (just about everything off of freak show is about fame...even the title of the cd...)
