when we lost our way together
and the worst i feared would come

Overall Meaning

In Katie Von Schleicher's song Strangest Thing, the lyrics offer a sense of vulnerability in a relationship that has hit a rough patch. The opening line, "when we lost our way together," suggests a sense of isolation and feeling lost in the relationship. The next line, "and the worst I feared would come," implies the singer's anxieties about the relationship falling apart.


The chorus, "it's always the strangest thing," provides an interesting take on the challenges facing the relationship. Instead of focusing on the expected or predictable challenges, the singer suggests that it's the unexpected things that cause the most damage. This unpredictability adds to the sense of instability and uncertainty that is prevalent throughout the song.


As the chorus repeats, the singer's desperation becomes more pronounced, asking for reassurance from their partner: "oh don't I know we're right? tell me so." The final line of the chorus, "I fell just like a child," serves as a metaphor for the singer's powerlessness and lack of control in the situation.
