Wombat
Better Strangers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now they make one
Too loud to know
The clouds they came from
All grey inside
Their light just fades out
Not in control
For now, I'm running away
It's loud my dear
I'm beginning to fight with no direction
I'm drowned in fear
Who's behind the wheel?
Am I starting to have hallucinations?
Your love can kill
I know it will
Can I turn around the situation?
No colors still
I know the deal
It takes a lot for you to give it away
Take it all away
Free my mind
Take it all away
Give me more time
I'll let you go in
Show me to the light
When you free my mind
Thank god for lies
I'm in disguise
Take a trip
Get out the conversation
I'm all denial
Take this for now
And leave the rest for your reflection
I strike the ground
Shovel up and down
My eyes are black, full dilation
Can't stop the chills
Ain't nothing real
10 Hours alive, alone, and fading away
Take it all away
Free my mind
Take it all away
Give me more time
I'll let you go in
Show me to the light
When you free my mind
Take it all away
Free my mind
Take it all away
Give me more time
I'll let you go in
Show me to the light
When you free my mind

This indicates a sense of disorientation and uncertainty. The line "Your love can kill / I know it will" suggests that the intensity of the relationship is taking a toll on the singer, acknowledging the potential harm that love can cause.
The repeated plea to "Take it all away / Free my mind / Give me more time / I'll let you go in / Show me to the light / When you free my mind" indicates a desire for relief and clarity. The singer is seeking liberation from the confusion and seeks guidance towards enlightenment. The line "thank god for lies / I'm in disguise" suggests that the singer may be acknowledging the need to pretend or deceive themselves and others to cope with the situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wombat" paint a picture of inner conflict and the desire for release and understanding.
