On this song, The Freakshow follow in those footsteps with slow moody guitars, and a steady rhythm focused on the sad atmosphere. The track is the debut single for the group and is one that will not be to everyones taste. Yet, feels like a song that will resonate strongly for those who do likes it vibe and topic.

‘Girlies’ lyrics of wanting to be one of said girlies fit in line with the slow moody sound the track gives. The lyrics are somber in tone with the idea of longing for something you cant have embodying g the first couple of minutes. This idea is the prevailing theme throughout, as the chorus repeats the phrase “I want to be one of the girlies”. Other lyrics such as “Gender envy, I’m suffering from a case” and “I can put on a skirt any day,” show the singer delving into questions of sexuality gender dysmorphia.

The somber mood that accompanies the single is one many can relate to, as even though it is a more normalised topic its is not universally accepted. Simultaneously, the track also wants to celebrate the beauty of femininity, a point further exasperated by that desire to be one of the girlies. This vibe being very low and slow isn’t an issue however as it gives an aura of reality for many. These points all beautifully culminate in a fast tempo ending which I view as somewhat happy.

The lyrics are a strong point for the track even if they themselves are not relatable to myself. It is a more relatable and acceptable topic in the modern age and I hope that allows for future successes. The song is a good debut although I wonder if the themes will keep them locked into a niche audience or contrarily gain more attention. Overall, it is a great and moody track that reminds me of songs I grew up listening to.
