Baby Strange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found my eyes getting blinded, never again I hope that when you find me you'll be scared
I hope that when you find me I'll be dead I fell in love on a Friday, waiting for you
Something died inside me, coz I know I don't need you
But I hope that when you find me you'll be scared
I hope that when you find me I'll be dead
Ew I'm tired of my generation
Ew I only wanna be unknown
Lost me on a Thursday
I was going to be seen
I crept up behind her
I hope that when you find out I'll be dead
I hope that when you find out you'll be scared
Ew I'm tired of my generation
Ew I only wanna be unknown
Ew i'm tired of my own form
Ew I'm tired of my generation
Ew I only wanna be unknown
Ew I'm tired of my own form
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh Ew I'm tired of my generation
Ew I only wanna be unknown
Ew I'm tired of my own form
Ew I'm tired of my generation
Ew I only wanna be unknown
Ew I'm tired of my own form
Ew I'm tired of my own form
My own form
My own form
My own form
My own form
The lyrics to Baby Strange's song, "Pure Evil" tell the story of someone who fell in love on a Friday, but now wishes they were dead or gone. They feel blinded and that they don't need the person they fell in love with anymore. They also hope that whoever finds them will be scared or frightened, and they express a dislike for their generation, tiredness of being known, and tiredness of their own form.
The song seems to be about a feeling of alienation and disconnection from society and oneself. The lyrics express the feeling that love can hurt and change a person, and how that change can make someone disconnect from themselves and their environment. The repetition of "Ew I'm tired of my generation" emphasizes the singer's desire to detach themselves from their peers and identity. The repetition of "My own form" seems to suggest a desire to find an identity that is individual and authentic.
