Strange
Holiday Flyer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berated me
When they're happy
They don't want to hear that you're down
The rules of the town
Smile when wearing a frown
Corrupted clowns,
I know my love will be there
More strange than no strange
My love I know you'll be there
I'll see you in space
And some will say fuck it
When dice down cast on bad luck
Well that's nice advice,
But of course you can say that
You're not getting fucked
I'll see you in space
I know my love will be there
More strange than no strange
Last, happiness, color
Leaves long lasting impressions,
But blues to you are fools
Who are baskin' in depression
And in this less than tired lesson
I'm impressed and inspired
To vacate this place
I'll see your ass in space
Holiday Flyer's song "Strange" delves into feelings of loneliness and alienation. The lyrics express the singer's frustration with a world that only values happiness and success, and shuns those who are struggling. The opening lines, "Oh this maudlin prostituted feeling has berated me when they're happy / They don't want to hear that you're down," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer feels like they are being forced to hide their emotions because others are uncomfortable with sadness.
The chorus, "I know my love will be there / More strange than no strange / My love I know you'll be there / I'll see you in space," offers a glimmer of hope. Despite feeling alone on Earth, the singer believes that their love will transcend reality and meet them in the stars. This idea of finding comfort in the strange and unusual is a recurring theme throughout the song.
The third verse takes a more sarcastic tone, with the singer calling out those who tell others to "just get over it" when they are facing hardship. The lines "Well that's nice advice, but of course you can say that / You're not getting fucked" highlight the singer's frustration with people who haven't experienced the same struggles. Overall, "Strange" is a powerful and relatable exploration of feeling like an outcast in a world that values conformity.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh this maudlin prostituded feeling has
This overwhelming feeling of sadness has consumed me
Berated me
It has made me feel belittled and criticized
When they're happy
When people are in a good mood
They don't want to hear that you're down
They don't want to hear about your problems or negative emotions
The rules of the town
The norms or expectations of society
Smile when wearing a frown
Pretend to be happy even when you're not
Corrupted clowns,
People who pretend to be happy but are actually unhappy and unfulfilled
I'll see you in space
I will distance myself from these people and their negativity
I know my love will be there
I know that someone who loves and supports me will always be there
More strange than no strange
Their love may seem unusual, but it is better than having no love at all
My love I know you'll be there
I have faith that the person who loves me will be there for me
And some will say fuck it
Some people will give up in the face of adversity
When dice down cast on bad luck
When luck is not on your side
Well that's nice advice,
It is easy to give such advice
But of course you can say that
It's easy for you to say that since you are not in my situation
You're not getting fucked
You are not experiencing the same difficulties as me
Last, happiness, color
Happiness can leave a lasting impression like the colors of a sunset
Leaves long lasting impressions,
Positive experiences can stay with us for a long time
But blues to you are fools
However, to those who are not empathetic, depression is seen as foolish
Who are baskin' in depression
Belittling people who are suffering from depression
And in this less than tired lesson
Despite this difficult experience
I'm impressed and inspired
I am motivated and encouraged
To vacate this place
To leave this environment
I'll see your ass in space
I'll distance myself from you and your negativity
