Strange
Museum Mouth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could stare at you all day
So maybe movin' in might
The worst decision that I've ever made because
I'm not one for being let down
And I'm starting to really like you,
Wanna keep you around.
thoughts of you and me,
specifically the ones between the sheets.
those are a pipe dream
and they'll never amount to anything
except a of broken words
now I'm diggin' my own grave
I'm diggin' a hole
and it's more than I can afford
because it's out of my control
I have never been so completely obsessed with
completely in love with
someone or something
that I can't have
Goddamn I want you so bad
Now all my friends tell me that I could do better
So I consulted the universe
and it said we couldn't be together
(but still I ignore all reference)
holding out for the slightest chance
that I could change your preference
disappointed, disillusioned with my own fate
I never thought I could make such a grave mistake
but now i've got you in and close to me and I feel sick
because I know that you'll never lay a hand on my dick
goddamn I want you so bad.
The lyrics to Museum Mouth's song Strange are about unrequited love, obsession and the pain of being in love with someone that will never reciprocate those feelings. The singer admits that even though it's strange, they could stare at the object of their affections all day. They are considering moving in together, but deep down, they know that it's probably not a good idea. The singer is not one for being let down and is starting to like this person and wants to keep them around. However, they know that they cannot act on their desires because the feelings are not mutual.
The singer tries to keep their thoughts from wandering to thoughts of the person specifically between the sheets, but it's a pipe dream that will never amount to anything except broken words. They are digging their own grave and are out of control of their own feelings. The singer is completely obsessed with this person and wants them so badly, but their friends tell them that they could do better. Even the universe tells them that they cannot be together, but the singer ignores all references and holds out for the slightest chance that they could change this person's preference.
The singer is disappointed and disillusioned with their own fate. They never thought that they could make such a grave mistake by falling in love with someone that they will never be with. The pain of being close to this person that they love but knowing that they will never lay a hand on their dick is too much to bear. They are trapped by their own emotions and desires, and there is no escape.
