Strange
M.E.K.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on
Turn you up, figure you out
I want to take you on
These words, you will be mine
Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name
Secret love, make it rhyme
Take you in and make you mine
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
I tripped and fell, did I fall
What I want to feel
I want to feel it now
You know with love comes strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
A fourth chance, a word, a signal
A nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real, real
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
These words, you will be mine
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

Fun fact: The Black Stone in Mecca is a Shivalingam.
Story
It is said that after Lord Rama and his allies k¡lled the Rakshas(Cannibal) king Raavan along with his brothers and conquered lanka, Raavan's sister Surpnakha immigrated to the place now known as middle east along with other expelled Rakshases and settled there.
Reasons -
1. In the epic Ramayana there is an incident in which surpnakha gets her nose mutilated by Lord Lakshaman in a fight. That caused her to cover the scares and her face which may be the origin of burkha practice.
2. Rakshases lived in deep and lush jungles thats why the color green was so dear to them which they couldnt get in the desert of middle east hence we see overuse of color green in muslim world and in their flags.
3. Syria got its name from Assyria/assyrian empire which further was taken from assuristan which means assur(demon)+istan(place) in Sanskrit(ancient indian language). Mesopotamian civilization(world's second oldest civilization) originated in Assyria.
4. In hindu traditions, worshippers revolve around Shivalingam clockwise to make it reverbrate and channel the energy. In ancient texts, the energy flow is said to be from left to right, blood flows in the body from left to right, earth rotates left to right, writting is done left to right etc. Anticlockwise action are often times considered inauspicious.
5. Multiple excavations in middle east indicate the prevalence of sαtαnic practices in ancient times.
6. Arabic's written script/style is tremendously similar to South Indian/Sri Lankan languages, only it is written from right to left(Inauspicious).

“O people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous Day.”
A tremendous day is the day of Judgment when Allah will gather all Mankind after the end of the world.
Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in the hereafter life.
Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Paradise or hellfire depending upon the good and bad deeds you did in this world.
👉God Almighty says to the Mankind,
Say(O Prophet),
“Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.”
Quran (45:26)
Allah almighty says,
Surely this religion(Islam) of yours is ˹only˺ one, and I am your Lord(Allah), so fear Me ˹alone˺.

Touching, kissing or pointing to the Black Stone – this is the first thing to be done when starting Tawaaf, whether it is for Hajj or ‘Umrah, or voluntary Tawaaf.
It was narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Makkaah, he came to the Black Stone and touched it, then he walked to the right of it and ran three times and walked four times [around the Ka’bah].
(narrated by Muslim, 1218).
,, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kissed the Black Stone, and his ummah followed his lead in doing so.
It was narrated that ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Black Stone and kissed it, then he said: “I know that you are only a stone which can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kiss you, I would not have kissed you.”

You know... creating religion is easy, you might think it is just one man creating and organising it, but try to think what the man can possibly do with such a thing for people to follow, he might use his own religion for himself, he even can stating himself as a God, wich is dangerous to our civilization.
So if religion does the creation of a man, well...creating the right value for the good of humanity trough his religion is something else, and im proud Muhammad can offer the great value for humanity trough islam at thousands years ago, He is not stating himself as a God, or something that you can't live with.. he is just stating he is the messenger of God, he shared the good value, and im thankful with it, i can't even imagine how bad my society will look like if we aren't touched by islam, and thankful for saving my people to not worship anything in this universe except Mighty One God, Allah.
In islam, there's nothing stronger than Allah, everything is His creation, in islam we don't worship stone, water, sky, sun or anything but god, so even if there's an hyper advanced aliens stating as a god to be worshipped by humans, muslim will easily deny it no matter how strong they are,
islam is kind of a agnosticism but with value to follow, it doesn't represent God as anything can or to be imagined except to be worshipped, just it.
That's why im thankful humanity can have such a value, its wonderful, humanity have hope trough islam. it's enriched our civilization,

As a person who doesn’t practice religion but reads extensively and does research, black stone or kaaba aren’t worshiped at all, it’s basic knowledge. Koran is very clear about Kaaba just being a direction and even muslim poets like Mirza Ghalib in their poetry criticise people, muslims who might think kaaba is more than a direction towards which muslims pray, now I understand why my hindu friends hate this show, it’s obviously very misleading

Its a hindu temple made by hindu traders. It had idols. It had shivling. It followed all hindu ceremonies . Circling the temple..laying prostrate. Cutting of hair,wearing white clothes. Its hinduism..these rituals are there in all south indian temples. Temple is house of God
Noone circles empty rooms. Noone wears white robes to visit empty rooms. This is a temple. Arabs were hindu pagans. They left idol worship to worship brahma. Its banned to make brahmas temple. Thats why Islam has no temples. Islam is just a sect of hinduism. Which went to worship brahma in his pure form. He is called Allah in Arabic Bedouin language. Muhamad had heard stories about brahma on his travels. He knew brahma is formless. Jesus had also visited kashmir. He learnt his philosophies in kashmir,india..he went back and preached in Jerusalem. He was called Issa in kashmir
