The Stranger Things
Neon Waltz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say it always comes so easy
How come you never wanted much from me?
No one should ever lose their minds
These things are always so damn hard to find

Why should I want money growing old?
You leave this life, you leave it all
The stranger things I have will come and go
You give up less, you get a little more

No one should ever lose their minds
These things are always so damn hard to find
No one was ever living easy
How come you never wanted much from me?

Why should I want money growing old?
You leave this life, you leave it all
The stranger things I have will come and go
You give up less, you get a little more

You swear danger is the cause of changes
But I don't think about the things it says to me
You swear danger is the cause of changes
But I don't think about the things it says to me

Why should I want money growing old?
When the stranger things I have will come and go
Why should I want money growing old?




When the stranger things I have will come and go
If it can't be bought, it can't be sold

Overall Meaning

In "The Stranger Things" by Neon Waltz, the lyrics explore themes of materialism, personal fulfillment, and the fleeting nature of possessions. The song starts by questioning why the singer's love interest never asked for much in the relationship, suggesting that they may not have valued what the singer had to offer. The lyrics emphasize that no one should lose their sense of self or identity in pursuit of material gain, as these things are often elusive and difficult to find.


The chorus delves into the idea of money and its significance in life. The singer questions why they should desire riches as they grow old, proposing that leaving behind a legacy or accumulating material possessions is not the ultimate purpose in life. The "stranger things" mentioned in the song refer to intangible experiences or moments that come and go, suggesting that these are the things that truly matter. Giving up less, or not being so focused on material gain, leads to gaining more in terms of fulfilling and meaningful experiences.


The verses continue to explore the idea that nobody lives an easy life and wonder why the love interest did not desire more from the singer. The repetition of the phrase "You swear danger is the cause of changes" suggests that the love interest may have rationalized their lack of ambition or desire for material possessions by attributing it to a need for safety or stability. However, the singer doesn't pay attention to these justifications and focuses on what truly matters to them.


Overall, "The Stranger Things" questions the importance of material wealth and encourages the listener to find fulfillment in the intangible aspects of life rather than solely pursuing material gain.
