Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It hurts some time, we gotta catch this high
Baby don't turn off the lights, cuz we ain't gon sleep tonight
I gotta catch another flight
Tell me where you wanna go
You know that this ain't our first rodeo
If you want it, time to get it
I got some minutes, if you could fit in yeah
Work it like you go to the gym yeah
Dive in yeah, take a swim yeah
Partied in Minneap and woke up in LA
Got that flight on out to Denver then I got my mind together
Bitch I'm on my Stronjay, I'm on Stronjay
Partied in Minneap and woke up in LA
It hurts sometime
You be on my mind
Wanna press rewind
I can't erase that
Battery on low
You love me on the go
Can't put these dreams on hold
I gotta chase that
Back to the road
Festival to an aftershow
Party don't stop til after 4
TM yelling "yo we have to go"
We have to go!
Bus to the hotel, new city
Waiting for the room lookin' real gritty
Alarm clock got no pity
Trying to wake up feeling not shitty
But shit, we still the queens up in this bitch
Whatchu talking bout
We living our dreams while our names all up in they mouth
Goddamn kicking back with Peter Pan where the water meets the sand
I'm a hit you when I land
The lyrics of "Strange" by Aceyalone & Bionik describe the fast-paced and adventurous lifestyle of the artists. The song touches on themes of love, travel, and chasing dreams.
The opening lines suggest that the artists have arrived at a new destination and immediately seek connection and excitement. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency as they express a desire to stay awake and make the most of their time together. This might imply a longing for a passionate and intense relationship that is worth sacrificing sleep for.
The next verse describes the artists' experiences of partying in different cities such as Minneapolis and Los Angeles. They then quickly move on to Denver while trying to gather their thoughts and regain focus. The phrase "Bitch I'm on my Stronjay" is open to interpretation but can be understood as a declaration of being in control and on top of their game.
The following lines express the lingering thoughts and emotions related to a love interest. The artists acknowledge that these feelings can be painful at times, indicating a complicated relationship or the challenges of balancing personal life with a busy career. The mention of a low battery on a cell phone suggests a metaphorical exhaustion of energy caused by their busy lifestyle. They, however, assert their determination to not let their dreams be put on hold and emphasize the importance of chasing after them.
The final lines of the song convey a sense of confidence and pride in their achievements. The artists proclaim their dominance, stating that no matter what others may say, they are living their dreams and making a name for themselves. The reference to being with Peter Pan while near the water and sand adds a touch of fantasy and escapism, further emphasizing their carefree and adventurous spirit. The lyrics end with a promise to reach out upon landing, suggesting that despite their fast-paced lifestyle, they still make time for connection and communication.

Bus to the hotel, new city
Taking a bus to the hotel in a different city
Waiting for the room lookin' real gritty
Waiting for the hotel room, feeling tired and worn out
Alarm clock got no pity
The alarm clock is unsympathetic and wakes us up regardless
Trying to wake up feeling not shitty
Attempting to wake up without feeling exhausted or unwell
But shit, we still the queens up in this bitch
Nevertheless, we are still the dominant and influential figures here
Whatchu talking bout
What are you talking about?
We living our dreams while our names all up in they mouth
We are living our dreams while others talk about us
Goddamn kicking back with Peter Pan where the water meets the sand
Having a great time and relaxing with a carefree attitude
I'm a hit you when I land
I will contact you once I arrive
