Strange Love
Koop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm your puppet on a string
Making me tumble and swing
Trouble's what you bring
Strange love, strange love
Strange how, you control my every little move now
Hanging from your strings is all I know
Never let me go, strange love
All the things you've said and done
There's no space for me to run
Baby I've lost and you have won
'Cause' all I really want is
Strange love, even though you hurt me I feel blessed love
Baby I'm your puppet on a string
Making me tumble and swing
Trouble's what you bring, strange love
Strange love, strange love
The lyrics of Koop's song Whenever There Is You portray the idea of a toxic and controlling love that one cannot escape from. The opening lines, "Strange love, even though you hurt me I feel blessed love," suggest that despite the pain and hardship caused by the relationship, the singer feels fortunate to be loved by the person who is controlling them. The lines "Baby I'm your puppet on a string, making me tumble and swing, trouble's what you bring" depict the singer as a manipulated puppet who is being forced to dance to their partner's tune, ultimately leading them into trouble.
The second verse of the song highlights the singer's lack of control over their own life, as they are completely dominated by the mysterious lover. The words "All the things you've said and done, there's no space for me to run" reflects the singer's captive state, indicating that they feel trapped and cannot escape from the grasp of the lover. The chorus continues to explain that despite all of the turmoil, the singer still desires the strange love that has taken control of them, concluding with the repeated refrain of "strange love, strange love."
Overall, the song describes an unfortunate love story in which the singer has become enslaved by their partner's emotional and physical grasp. Although it may sound like a sad and despairing tale of a love gone wrong, the haunting melody and one-of-a-kind vocals of the song create an almost surreal atmosphere which makes the song quite captivating.
