Strangest Of Ways
Lucy Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me alive
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

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
