Strange
Alicia Creti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been feelin' strange, not like me before
Feel like I've changed, don't love like I used to
I feel scared
Baby, I feel
Feel my mind's at war, my broken heart is burnin'
So tired of these words that don't ever have truth in 'em
I'm okay
I'm used to it

See, I'm too broke for saving, I'm too far to heal
Someone save me from this world, 'cause, baby, I'm not breathin'
I need love, oh
I need love
Hurt too many times for naming, broken down and drained
I just need somebody to come wipe all of the pain
I'm done runnin'
Won't you give a fuck and just tell me that I'm safe

I've been reminiscin' who I was before
Now that girl is missin', lost her long ago
No surprise
Then you walked in my life and opened up my eyes
I know love is blind, but you make me see colors
Colors so divine I'm floatin' over water
No more thunder
But I'm scared of goin' under (ooh)

See, I'm too broke for saving, I'm too far to heal
Someone save me from this world, 'cause, baby, I'm not breathin' (ooh)
I need love, oh
I need love, whoa, oh
Hurt too many times for naming, broken down and drained
I just need somebody to come wipe all of the pain (ooh)
I'm done runnin'
Won't you give a fuck and just tell me that I'm safe?

But then I met you, love
Pull me from the dust of my mind
I was tired of thinkin' that I couldn't love
See my eye (eye), heart (heart) was wounded




And scarred from past times
'Til you lifted me up so I couldn't run

Overall Meaning

In "Strange" by Alicia Creti, the lyrics depict a sense of emotional turmoil and change in the singer's life. She describes feeling strange and not like herself anymore, as if she has lost the ability to love as she once did. She expresses fear and a constant battle within her mind and a burning pain in her broken heart. Despite this, she has become used to it and has accepted these difficulties as a part of her life.

Feel my mind′s at war, my broken heart's a-burning
So tired of these words that don't ever have truth in ′em

She’s undeniably her self, but if you were to categorize her,
