stranger than fiction
Moe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Talk to Atlanta
By the way of the Great Divide
Back to California
Seattle if we got the time
Great Wall of China
Will the end I reach one day?
Stranger than the fiction
I heard the _______ say

Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Two days to Boseman
Enough truckers, they don't make time fly
I ain't opposin'
We'll be in Austin in half the time
Keep your hands and toes in
Doin 90 the entire way
Stranger than fiction
To _____ away (?)

Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Waking up everyday

Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Las Vegas, Nevada
Ain't no place we outta be
When your luck is golden
You're the center of gravity
___ of Shanola (?)
Just hang of left ...




Stranger than fiction
It's the way it will always be

Overall Meaning

In "Stranger than Fiction," Moe describes a journey through America that is filled with unexpected twists and turns. The song features the mouth of a young girl discussing how waking up every day is stranger than fiction. The lack of clarity surrounding the journey adds to the mysterious, eerie vibe. The lyrics describe the singer travelling from Atlanta, back to California, then Seattle, with a possible stop at the Great Wall of China. The young girl's voice continues to talk about the journey, mentioning places such as Boseman, Austin, Las Vegas and Shanola.


The song offers a commentary on the strange and unpredictable nature of life, which is stranger than a work of fiction. The journey feels almost surreal, and the unpredictability of the places they visit adds to the dreamlike quality of the song. The song's message seems to be that life is strange, and makes us ask questions about what we do and where we go. The idea of waking up every day and starting anew seems to be a metaphor for how strange the journey of life can be, and how we can't always predict what will happen next.
