Strangest Thing
Maguire Clare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody said 'Dim the lights',
Coz here comes what you'll never remember,
Here comes the night.
And I get so unholy,
And I am so uptight.
I need to believe, I want to believe
But it's the strangest thing,
And it's the strangest thing.
And I can't remember a thing about you,
But it's the strangest thing,
And it's the strangest thing.
I truly can't remember a thing about you.
You are my favourite ghost,
And you and I were the most,
But I can bring no justice, I can make no boast.
That you belong to me.
Set face your fears,
And stare through the tears.
I need to believe,
I want to believe,
And I believe that I am where you are.
And it's the strangest thing,
And it's the strangest thing.
And I can't remember a thing about you.
But it's the strangest thing,
And it's the strangest thing.
I truly can't remember a thing about you.
And I thought we'd never die (x4)
And it's the strangest thing,
And it's the strangest thing.
But now I can't remember a thing about you,
The lyrics of "Strangest Thing" by Maguire Clare depict the confusion and loss that come with a fading memory of a past relationship. The opening lines suggest a collective call to halt the distractions and focus on the approaching night, which symbolizes the forgotten memories. The singer expresses a mix of emotions, feeling both sinful and tense, but also wanting to believe and hold on to the connection they once shared. However, they admit that they can no longer recall anything specific about the person they used to be deeply attached to.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the perplexity of this situation, as the singer finds it strange that they cannot recollect any details about the person they once considered their favorite ghost, the one they shared a close bond with. They acknowledge their inability to bring justice to the relationship or make any claims of ownership over the other person. Though they long to believe they are still connected, the memories have completely slipped away.
The repetition of the line "And I thought we'd never die" towards the end reflects the surprise and disbelief the singer feels about the fading memories. It conveys the realization that despite the intensity of the past connection, the memories have become so distant that they can no longer recall anything about the person they once cherished.
Overall, "Strangest Thing" explores the disorienting and poignant experience of losing memories of a significant relationship, highlighting the strange and unsettling feeling that comes with forgetting someone who was once so important.

And you and I were the most
And you and I were the greatest or most important
But I can bring no justice, I can make no boast
However, I cannot bring justice or make proud claims
That you belong to me
That you are mine or under my possession
Set face your fears
Confront your fears head-on
And stare through the tears
And gaze intensely despite the tears
I need to believe
I must have faith
I want to believe
I desire to have faith
And I believe that I am where you are
And I trust that I am in the same place as you
And it's the strangest thing
And it is an unusual situation
And I can't remember a thing about you
And I cannot recall anything about you
But it's the strangest thing
Nevertheless, it is a peculiar occurrence

I genuinely cannot recollect anything about you
And I thought we'd never die (x4)
And I believed we would never experience death
But now I can't remember a thing about you
However, now I cannot recall anything about you
