Strange
HuntR Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing on the corner, what did we do to this world
Looking at our lives, where did we fail
Why we make it ugly, why we make it hell
Why you feeling ugly
You scared to be yourselves
It's just one of those days
I don’t want to wake up
Cuz I might just wake up

And fuck shit up
Am I dreaming I don't feel demons, am I bleeding
Bloody ass nose till my mind explodes
I just wanna let go
I wanna get out
Wanna leave now, can't breathe now
Wanna scream out, please leave now
Get the fuck out
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
Standing on the block bitch
Overnight I overclocked it, mane
You don't know what I done been through mane
Don’t be acting like I met you mane
I use to be a rat in the cage, shooting bullets with butterfly wings
My requiem for a dream, I wake up and go back to sleep
I see you again, I do life for your sentence
I sacrifice for ya forgiveness, don’t ever judge me cuz I lived it
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
Am I strange to you
(STRANGE)
Save, my prayers
I’m strange, to your world

I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid to be myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to HuntR's song "Strange" delve into the feelings of alienation and inner turmoil in a harsh and judgmental world. The opening lines reflect on the state of the world and question the choices and actions that have led to its ugliness and hellishness. The singer wonders why they feel ugly and why they are afraid to be authentic and true to themselves. The phrase "It's just one of those days" suggests that these feelings of frustration and disconnection are not temporary but rather a recurring theme in their life.

The next verse portrays a sense of desperation and detachment from reality. The singer expresses a desire to escape and let go, craving freedom from the suffocating environment they find themselves in. The references to a bloody nose and a mind exploding symbolize the internal turmoil they are experiencing. The repetition of the question "Am I strange to you" highlights their fear of being seen as different or abnormal.

The lyrics imply that the singer has endured challenging situations, comparing themselves to a caged rat and expressing a past filled with violence ("shooting bullets with butterfly wings"). The line "I wake up and go back to sleep" suggests a sense of resignation or acceptance of a harsh reality.

The final repetition of "Am I strange to you" and the closing lines reveal a defiant and fearless attitude towards being true to oneself. The singer asserts that they are not afraid to be who they are, even if they are seen as strange or different by others.

Overall, "Strange" reflects on the struggles of feeling out of place and the desire for acceptance and understanding in a world that often rejects uniqueness.
