Be Brave
The Strange Boys Lyrics

I walked away
The singer has intentionally distanced themselves from their loved ones

From everyone I know
They have cut off ties with every person they were familiar with

I looked around and thought
Being alone made the singer ponder

This must be what it's like to be alone
The artist realizes the isolation of loneliness

Awareness fell on me
Suddenly, they become conscious of their own self

My bones, my bones
The singer becomes self-aware of their physical body

I felt my ribs
The singer realizes their own fragility and vulnerability

My bones, my bones
The physicality of their body overwhelms them

I'm mud, I'm mud
The artist feels weak, like they are made of mud

Everybody thinks I'm calm
Despite feeling weak, the artist tries to maintain an appearance of calmness

Oh I had to be brave
The singer recognizes the necessity of bravery

You gotta be brave
Bravery is required in times of uncertainty

Don't seem like no choice to me
The singer feels like they have no other option but to be brave

I walked away
The singer reiterates their departure from loved ones

I looked around and thought
The isolation of their decision continues to weigh on the singer

Oh I had to be brave
The necessity of bravery is reiterated

Don't seem like no choice to me
The artist feels like bravery is the only option
