Strange
Runah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if my laugh if isn't easy to
Catch and I've been swallowing stones.
You ask me, you ask me to shrink,
Oh, my bones feel hollow I think.
What if I'm?
There's strange colours in my mind, oh,
I've been losing my head now,
I've been losing my head,
Strange colours in my mind, oh,
I've been losing my head round the corner,
Strange colours in mind.
What if I'm not what you thought,
What if I howl at the moon in sky and I have my own thoughts.
I will call on the blood in my womb,
To haunt me, create me I'll roam.
What if I'm?
A strange woman to your eyes, oh,
You've been losing your head now,
Strange woman to eyes,
You've been losing your head,
Strange woman to your eyes, oh,
You've been losing your head round the corner,
A strange woman I reside,
Mother convince me the Earth is your womb,
I will be convinced of heavenly doings,
Proudly possessing this female divine,
Woman, oh, woman, oh, woman.
What if I'm a strange woman to your eyes,
What if I'm a strange woman reside.
I am a strange, strange, strange, strange woman,
Oh I am strange, strange, strange, strange colours.
Strange colours in our minds, oh,
We've been losing our heads now,
Strange colours in our minds,
We've been losing our heads,
Strange colours in our minds, oh,
We've been losing our heads round the cornea
Strange colours in our minds.
But what if I'm not what your thoughts
What if I howl at the moon in the sky and I have my own
Thoughts.
Runah's song "Strange" explores the concept of a woman who is misunderstood and judged based on her unique perspective and actions. The lyrics suggest that this woman is not what people thought she was, and that her laughter is not easy to understand. She has been swallowing stones, which could symbolize her past mistakes or struggles. The woman is asked to shrink, which could mean that she is being pressured to conform to societal expectations and stifle her individuality. However, she feels hollow in her bones and questions whether this is who she truly is.
The woman's mind is described as having strange colors which could mean that her thoughts and emotions are complex and unconventional. She feels like she is losing her head, which could mean that she is struggling to maintain her sanity as she tries to find her place in the world. The woman is proud of her feminine divinity, and she asks her mother to convince her that the Earth is her womb. She seems to be seeking validation and acceptance for who she is as a woman, but she is also unapologetic about her strangeness.
Overall, "Strange" is an empowering song that encourages women to embrace their unique perspective and reject societal norms that may not serve them. It promotes self-acceptance and celebrates the complexity and beauty of the female mind.
