Strange
Holy Esque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My nightmare unchanged
If something is real
Then chance stomps it's heel
The scowl of my heart
Take me back to the start
When thing's weren't so strange
Oh I cried
Cried, cried, cried
Cried, cried, cried
In hate - a feeling exists
You're trapped don't resist
The cage stabs and screams
But your light won't be seen
Consumed by the shock
Of yesterday's thoughts
Shaking for more
Oh I cried
Cried, cried, cried
Cried, cried, cried
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last - strange
Strange since I saw you last
Strange, strange, strange
The lyrics of "Strange" by Holy Esque touch upon themes of love, hate, and the strange nature of relationships. The first verse suggests that love can be dangerous and that even if it's real, chance can come and disrupt it. The singer's nightmare remains unchanged, indicating that they are dealing with some unresolved emotional turmoil. The second verse delves into the theme of hate, and how it can trap and consume a person. The cage represents the emotional barriers that can prevent someone from showing their true light, and the shock of past thoughts can leave a person shaking for more.
The chorus repeats the word "strange" several times, and it's unclear what the exact meaning behind it is. It could refer to the strange nature of emotions and how they can ebb and flow over time, or the strangeness of a particular relationship. Overall, the song explores the complexity of human emotions and how they can cause us to feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed. The repeated "cried, cried, cried" lyrics in each verse add to the sense of emotional distress the singer is experiencing.
