Her
Strange Breed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd entertain her, masturbate to her
I'd spill my guts to her, take her picture
I'd change my name for her, crash my car for her
Drink alone with her
I'd shut up for her to be heard

She could bend me, she could give it up
She'd never let me
But she could never read my mind

Her eyes are open, mouth too big to shut
Door is closing, sheets lay un-tucked
Breath is changing, words are tough to judge
She keeps me waiting, she keeps me waiting

And she could bend me, she could give it up
She'd never let me
But she could never read my mind

If she could trust me, If I could make this mine
Then I could love her, It might've been fine




Might've been, might've been fine
Might've been, might've been fine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Her" by Strange Breed convey a complex and tumultuous relationship between two individuals. In the first verse, the singer expresses a willingness to do anything for this person, highlighting their deep attraction. They would entertain her, masturbate to thoughts of her, bare their soul to her, and even go so far as to change their identity or sacrifice their own safety. It seems that the singer is infatuated and willing to go to extreme lengths just to be close to her. They also indicate their desire to listen and support her by being silent when needed.


The second verse describes the enigmatic nature of this woman. The singer acknowledges that while she has power over them, she remains closed off and unable to fully understand their thoughts and emotions. Her eyes are open, suggesting that she is aware of the situation, yet her mouth is too big to shut, perhaps symbolizing her inability to communicate effectively. The closing door and un-tucked sheets hint at a lack of intimacy and a sense of distance between the two. The words she speaks are tough to judge, indicating a struggle to decipher her true intentions. The repetition of "she keeps me waiting" emphasizes the frustration and uncertainty experienced by the singer.


The chorus repeats the idea that she has the power to bend the singer, but she will never fully let them in and understand their innermost thoughts. The singer desires trust from her, suggesting that there may be a lack of trust or openness in their relationship. If this trust could be established, the singer believes things could have been different, and they could have had a fulfilling love. However, the use of the past tense in the final lines ("it might've been fine") implies that the opportunity for a positive outcome may have passed.


Overall, the lyrics of "Her" by Strange Breed depict a complicated and unfulfilled relationship where one individual is deeply infatuated with another who remains emotionally distant and unable to fully connect with them. The song captures the struggles and frustrations experienced in such a situation, highlighting the desire for trust, understanding, and a deeper connection.
