Strange
Sleeptalking Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met him somewhere like never before
The day that it touched me it opened the door
It gave me a message I cannot recall
Just left with a feeling, no memory at all, at all
No memory at all, at all

The day it found me was the day I found you, it's strange
Oh, isn't it strange, yeah?

Oh, isn't it strange, yeah?

Sometimes I hear it alone in my bed
The imminent site crash spins round in my head
I'm striving for meaning but I hit a brick wall
'Cause all that I feel is nothing at all, at all
Nothing at all, at all

The day it found me was the day I found you
The day it found me was the day I found you
The day it found me was the day I found you
The day it found me was the day I found you, it's strange

Oh, isn't it strange, yeah?

Oh, isn't it strange, yeah?
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sleeptalking's song "Strange" seem to center around the feeling of an inexplicable connection with someone or something, and the confusion and frustration that can come with trying to understand that feeling. The first verse describes a mysterious encounter with something or someone that leaves the singer with a strong feeling but no memory of what actually happened. This feeling is powerful enough to "open the door" to new experiences or emotions, but the lack of understanding can be unsatisfying. The chorus then repeats the question "Isn't it strange?" as if to acknowledge the oddness of the situation.

The second verse adds another layer to this feeling of confusion and searching. The singer experiences something (described as an "imminent site crash") that occupies their thoughts, leaving them struggling to find meaning. The repetition of "nothing at all" at the end of the verse underscores the sense of frustration and disillusionment with not being able to connect with what one is searching for.

Overall, the song seems to touch on a universal experience of feeling drawn to something or someone without quite understanding why. The intense emotions that can accompany these experiences can be both exciting and unsettling, and the song captures this tension through its lyrics and somber, echoing melody.

I met him somewhere like never before
I encountered something unfamiliar and unique

The day that it touched me it opened the door
When it affected me, it opened up new opportunities

It gave me a message I cannot recall
It communicated to me, but I can't remember the exact words

Just left with a feeling, no memory at all, at all
All I have is a sensation, without any clear recollection

The day it found me was the day I found you, it's strange
The same day I stumbled upon this, I also met you, which is unexpected

Sometimes I hear it alone in my bed
Occasionally, when I'm by myself in bed, I become aware of it

The imminent site crash spins round in my head
The thought of an upcoming failure overwhelms my mind

I'm striving for meaning but I hit a brick wall
I'm looking for significance, but I can't seem to find it

'Cause all that I feel is nothing at all, at all
My emotions are numb and empty

The day it found me was the day I found you
Again, revisiting the idea that these two events happened simultaneously

Oh, isn't it strange, yeah?
Expressing bewilderment and puzzlement
