Is It so Strange
Danzig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, if you tell a lie
You know that I'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game
And when you hear my name
You'll say I'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to be in love with you

Is it so strange
That I love you more than all the world
Is it so strange
I have no eyes for any other girl

Oh won't you take me back
And say that you still love me
To waste a love like ours would be a sin
Let us kiss again
Let me hold you near




And take me from this strange world
That I'm living in

Overall Meaning

"Is It So Strange" by Danzig is a melancholic love song that explores the complexities of love and the pain of longing for someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. The lyrics depict a situation where the singer is deeply in love with someone, even though they might view their love as just a game. Despite this, the singer forgives their lover for any lies they may have told because their love is so strong. The mention of a "strange world" suggests that the singer's love is seen as unconventional or misunderstood by others. Despite the doubts and judgments thrown their way, the singer insists that it is not strange to be in love with their partner.


The chorus further emphasizes the intensity of the singer's love, as they express their devotion and the sole focus they have for their lover. They claim that their love for this person surpasses anyone else in the world, suggesting an all-consuming passion and loyalty. The second verse pleads for the lover to take the singer back and confess their love once more, as it would be a waste to let a love as strong as theirs slip away. The singer longs for their lover's embrace and to escape from the strange and lonely world they find themselves in without them.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh, if you tell a lie
If you were to deceive me


You know that I'll forgive you
I will still choose to pardon you


Though you say our love is just a game
Even though you claim our love is merely a playful activity


And when you hear my name
Whenever my name reaches your ears


You'll say I'm from a strange world
You would suggest that I come from an unfamiliar place


But is it so strange to be in love with you
However, is it truly unconventional to feel deep affection towards you


Is it so strange
Can it be considered bizarre


That I love you more than all the world
For me to adore you more than anything else in the world


Is it so strange
Is it really peculiar


I have no eyes for any other girl
As I am completely captivated by you and have no interest in another girl


Oh won't you take me back
Oh, please reconsider having me back


And say that you still love me
And confess that you still hold affection for me


To waste a love like ours would be a sin
To squander a love as precious as ours would be an act of wrongdoing


Let us kiss again
Allow us to embrace with a kiss once more


Let me hold you near
Permit me to keep you close to me


And take me from this strange world
And rescue me from this unfamiliar realm


That I'm living in
In which I am currently dwelling

Muito bom...Danzig interpretando o Rei Elvis com sua voz maravilhosa muito semelhante ao Doors e Cult.

I bought this on vinyl purely out of curiosity. The idea of Glenn Danzig singing Elvis songs grabbed my attention.

The more I spin this album, the more I love it. I'll admit that I was always kind of a casual Elvis fan: I could tell you about some of his biggest hits but not much more than that. This album comes off as much more sincere simply because Glenn chose some of his personal favorite deep cuts. It truly comes off as a labor of love more than anything else and he does the songs really well. They definitely give off the 50's rockabilly/R&B vibe that they're supposed to.

George Walker

Maybe Danzig sings The Doors next!

Jasen Morris

I’m glad this is seeing the light of day... I remember this soon to be album as far back as 2003 was the rumors that Danzig working on a Elvis Presley covers album.
