Strange Love
Halse Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we fucked on the bathroom sink
How your hands felt in my hair
If we were high on amphetamines
And everybody wants to hear
How we chainsmoked until three
And how you laughed when you said my name
We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
But the ending is the same every damn time, no, no, no
We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
But the ending is the same every damn time
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange
But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything
And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
That's the beauty of a secret, oh oh oh
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything,
Everybody's waiting up to hear if I dare speak your name
Put it deep beneath the track, like the hole you left in me
And everybody wants to know 'bout how it felt to hear you scream
They know you walk like you're a god, they can't believe I made you weak
We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
But the ending is the same every damn time, no, no, no
We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
But the ending is the same every damn time
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange
But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything
And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
That's the beauty of a secret, oh oh oh
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything
These days I can't seem to get along with anyone
Get by with anyone
These days I can't seem to make this right, well, is this fine
Will it be alright?
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange
But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything
And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
That's the beauty of a secret, oh oh oh
That's the beauty of a secret
You know you're supposed to keep it
But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything
The lyrics to Halsey's song Strange Love tell a story of a secretive, possibly taboo relationship that the singer is involved in. The opening lines suggest that people are curious about the physical nature of their relationship, asking if they had sex on a bathroom sink or if they were under the influence of drugs. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was intense and passionate, with physicality being a central element. The chorus admits to the existence of a secret that the singer doesn't feel compelled to share with others, and that the beauty of a secret is in the fact that it's meant to be kept private.
The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of the relationship, with the singer referring to herself and her lover as "insane" and "strange." She acknowledges that people look at her lover as though he's a god, which implies that he could potentially be famous or powerful. However, the singer also reveals that she knows how to make him weak, which suggests a certain level of control or manipulation. The chorus is repeated again, with the singer expressing that she doesn't have to tell anyone about her relationship and that she'll simply write and sing about it instead.
Overall, the lyrics to Strange Love suggest a relationship that is both passionate and secretive. The singer seems to revel in keeping her relationship private and enjoys the beauty of having a secret. However, the lyrics also hint at a potentially tumultuous relationship, with the singer referring to herself and her lover as insane and strange.

Everybody wants to know
People are curious to know about us
If we fucked on the bathroom sink
They want to know if we had sex in the bathroom
How your hands felt in my hair
They want to know the details of the physical intimacy we shared
If we were high on amphetamines
They want to know if we were under the influence of drugs
And everybody wants to hear
People are curious to hear more about us
How we chainsmoked until three
They want to know about our habit of smoking till late hours
And how you laughed when you said my name
They want to know about the affectionate moments we shared
And how you gripped my hips so mean
They want to know about our physical intimacy and how intense it was
We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night
We had a romantic moment in the car that we can't forget
But the ending is the same every damn time, no, no, no
Despite our repeated rendezvous, nothing much has changed
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange
People don't understand us and our way of living
But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything
We don't have to justify ourselves to anyone
And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage
We will express ourselves through music and art
That's the beauty of a secret
Keeping our love life private has its own charm
You know you're supposed to keep it
We understand the importance of secrecy in our relationship
These days I can't seem to get along with anyone
Lately, we have been having difficulty in bonding with others
Get by with anyone
We are struggling to make new connections in our life
Will it be alright?
We wonder if things will get better with time

HOW IS IT THAT THE ARTISTS DONT GET IMMENSE SHIVERS WHEN PERFORMING THEIR SONGS?
CAUSE WHAT THEY WRITE LEGIT APPLIES TO THEIR EXPERIENCES EXACTLY
AND THEY CAN RELATE TO MINE AS WELL, AND THAT GIVES ME SHIVERS OF AMAZEMENT THAT I CAN LISTEN TO A SONG AND FEEL SO STRONGLY WITH IT
SO SINCE IT LEGIT FULL ON APPLIES TO THEM, HOW DO THEY NOT BREAK DOWN WHEN PERFORMING
THATS AMAZING AKSHWOSHD

@emilypearson5957
Does no one in the comments understand what the song is about ? All the comments are saying how 'omg I really hope this song is about matty' or 'shit this is totally about Michael' like ??? The song is about how it's none of your business whether she had sex with the men and/or women she's been associated with or not. Why don't people understand this??
