Strangest Of Ways
Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm old enough now
Let me look up
And see the stars shine
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
You see beauty in the strangest of ways
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
Hope has found me
A different place
I've wanted much more
But I cannot relate
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
You've caught me looking for love in the dark
So let me live in the wild tonight
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
I could be yours when I've never been mine
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
This is the place for me and my bones
So let me live in the wild tonight
I'll never be alone
Watch daylight expire
And hide from the city I'll never know
Wash me in the street
And I'll float away
Let me live in the wild tonight
In "Strangest of Ways," Lucy Rose shares her yearning for freedom and the wildness of life. The song is all about experiencing the beauty of life through the wildest way possible. The first verse of the song asks for freedom as the singer wants to see the beauty of stars at the night sky. However, the singer also acknowledges that they do not have enough time on their hands, which could mean that they are probably feeling overwhelmed with life. The chorus then emphasizes the singer’s wish to live wildly, without the constraints of the city, to explore nature, and to find a sense of beauty in life - something that they might lack in their current situation. The most significant aspect of the song is its portrayal of how the singer values the wildness of life, which in some cases, could mean getting lost in it, giving up control and just going with the flow of life.
As the song progresses, the second verse reveals the singer is searching for a sense of hope in their life. They want to do more with themselves, but they can't seem to find a way of achieving their goals. In line five, the singer finds comfort in the beauty of the strangest ways despite lacking something as important as time. The second half of the second verse hints at the singer's need for love, which they have been searching for in the dark. The chorus then reiterates their desire to experience life in a more unbridled way. The bridge section then suggests to the reader that this is where the singer belongs, a place wild enough to allow the singer's spirit to roam free.
Overall, "Strangest of Ways" is a beautifully crafted song, which tells a story of someone looking for freedom in life and the beauty within. The song's lyrics express hope and the desire for a sense of liberation, with a peaceful reminder that we're all looking for something in life, and that's okay. The orchestration of the song is gentle, with acoustic guitar sounds, and the emphasis on the rhythm of the music is also an integral part that makes the song unique.
Line by Line Meaning
Take me alive
Allow me to live life to the fullest
I'm old enough now
I'm finally mature and ready for new experiences
Let me look up
Give me a chance to see the wonder of the world around me
And see the stars shine
Marvel at the beauty of the universe
'Cause I've got everything but time on my hands
I have everything I need except for enough time to enjoy it
You see beauty in the strangest of ways
You find beauty in things that most people overlook
So let me live in the wild tonight
Allow me to experience the unknown and unexplored parts of life
I'll never be alone
I'll always be surrounded by the beauty of nature
Watch daylight expire
Witness the end of another day
And hide from the city I'll never know
Escape the mundane and superficial aspects of modern life
Wash me in the street
Cleanse me of my worries and fears
I'll float away
Find peace in the simple things and let go of the past
Hope has found me
I've discovered something to believe in
A different place
Somewhere I never thought I'd end up
I've wanted much more
I've had bigger dreams and aspirations
But I cannot relate
But now I'm content with the present moment
You've caught me looking for love in the dark
You've seen me searching for something meaningful in life
Who'd have thought it, who'd have thought it?
Who could have predicted this path for me?
I could be yours when I've never been mine
I can belong to someone else without losing myself
This is the place for me and my bones
I feel at home in this moment, in this experience
