| Yeah its about conformity and being a dissolute from the "in crowd". It's about being yourself and not trying to live up to peopls expectations. | |

| This song relates to me so well. I love being different from everyone else, and even when I'm not considered "cool", I couldn't be stuffed to care. As for the line, "If only I could be as cool as you" sarcasm is used to the best extent. It means that you don't want to be like ayone else. You don't want to do the popular thing, because you think it's dumb. I love it soooooooooooo much! | |

| yeaahh this song.. is almost like an anthem. almost like Nirvana's - smells like teen spirit. but for silverchair. i would have hoped this song to reach a wider audience.. maybe it did.. back in the day. but now *sigh* not many people are into the old grungey side of silverchair. | |

| damn right....so many grunge/ early 90s alternative bands have turned from that angry, depressive tone many of us have grown to love. This song, obviously from silverchairs better days, is w/ o a doubt about not being able to fit in cuz ur differnent. a common but great theme for a song. and dont tell me i dont know what its like to be a freak. this song would never be my anthem [a bit too, how u say, happy/sane for my tastes. the majority of ppl are freaks in their own manner. and, ladies and gentlemen, thats the beauty of life. thats was the pt of "revenge of the nerds" and the pt of so much of mainstream music [ironically]. sorry-got out on a tangent. last thing is wanna say is the interpretation for the second verse: we cannot escape from this freakishness and ,bc silverchair pts out the fact that its hopeless, it qualifies as a great grunge hit. | |
