Still Weird
Seaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When life was so simple and we banged our heads to the music on TV
I see in different colours now
Still young, still weird but somehow
Somehow I found my stride through the wasted years
And your wasted lies
And as the world turns, you′ve been missing every sign
Running colour blind
And as the world turns
I've been gaining peace of mind
Take me by surprise; show me what it feels like
I found a reason to prove
It wouldn′t be the first time caught between your dead eyes.
I found a reason to prove it takes a special kind of person to come out of this place with a purpose
It takes a special kind of person to come out of this place with a purpose
I see in different colours now
And as the world turns, you've been missing every sign
Running colour blind
And as the world turns
I've been gaining peace of mind
I see in different colours now
What you don′t know is what I can′t show
I won't explain how I made something from nothing
I′m better than nothing
And
And as the world turns, you've been missing every sign
Running colour blind
And as the world turns
I′ve been gaining peace of mind
I see in different colours now
What you don't know is what I can′t show
I won't explain how I made something from nothing
I'm better than nothing
The song "Still Weird" by Seaway explores the idea of being different, misunderstood and finding one's place in the world despite the struggles. The lyrics speak of the singer's realization that they were different from other boys and girls, which made life more complicated. The singer reflects back on the simplicity of their younger years when they would bang their heads to the music on TV, in contrast to the complexity of life as an adult. The repetition of "I see in different colours now" emphasizes their new perspective on the world and perhaps, their own identity.
The song then takes a darker and more cynical turn when the singer criticizes those who have missed every sign and are running color blind. It could be interpreted as a criticism towards those who cannot see beyond societal norms and refuse to embrace diversity. In contrast, the singer has found peace of mind and a sense of purpose in life despite facing obstacles. The last lines of the song "What you don't know is what I can't show, I won't explain how I made something from nothing, I'm better than nothing" convey a sense of mystery and triumph over adversity. It's a reminder that some things cannot be explained, but they are worth celebrating nonetheless.
Overall, "Still Weird" can be seen as an anthem for those who don't fit into society's mold and embrace their uniqueness. It's a reminder to stay true to oneself and to find the beauty in one's differences.
