Life is Better Blonde Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange organism
Strange religion
Strange decision
Holding on to you
Uh-uh you
Holding on to you
Uh-uh you
Oh oh

Oh oh
Strange voyeurism
Strange position
Can you feel me
Watching over you
Uh-uh you
Watching over you
Uh-uh you
Holding on to you
(Uh-uh you)
Oh!
Holding on to you
(Uh-uh you)
Oh!
Strange organism
No inhibition
So ambitious
(Holding on to you)
(Uh-uh you)
Holding on to you
Uh-uh you
Uh-uh
No point in wanting to know you
Holding on to you
Oh!
Uh-uh you
Holding on to you
Oh!
No point in wanting to know you
Holding on to you
Oh!

(Uh-uh you)
(No holding on to you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Strange Organism" by Life is Better Blonde are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest a sense of obsession and possessiveness towards another person. The repetition of "holding on to you" and "watching over you" suggests a fixation with someone that may not be reciprocated or desired. The idea of a "strange religion" and "strange voyeurism" adds a layer of ominousness to the lyrics, as if the singer's feelings towards the other person are not entirely healthy or normal.

The chorus, "no point in wanting to know you," suggests a sense of resignation or acceptance of the situation. The singer acknowledges that their feelings may not be reciprocated and may even be harmful, but they cannot help but hold on to this person. The repetition of "strange organism" throughout the song suggests a sense of being consumed or taken over by something beyond one's control.
