Strange Days
Syntax (2004 - Meccano Mind) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moves and clues we're owed our dues there's no doubt about it that all above is about wanting to live long enough

Beats and freaks my mind reaps seeds sown and grown I've blown a whole in my soul oh no blow a whole in my soul too slow

'cause I'm prepared to delcare that everyone of these scenes only means that only one of my eyes does disguise that I'm heading for surpise no more lies and no ties

As I defend to the end I don't depend on those rules and the fools who try and tell me how to be how to see it's not me 'cause I'm free
Look at the path you're on
Out of the way of shelter
Stranger days will come
Words are over

Strange strange days I'm not crazed I'm not phased by lawas .. I am the one who deplores all war you know you got to breath not deceive

I pledge to the edge cannot censor my speech I need to teach that we are going down we're going down no sound

and the clues are clear
Don't live in fear
And the words are strong

And you need to learn
Your time has come
It's the path you're on

Look at the path you're on
Out of the way of shelter
Stranger days will come
Words are over

I create I debate I don't hate all those vibes but the lies they make me want to leave not believe in all the good misunderstood you know you should and I would

So don't show don't blow dno't be weak and don't defeat all you meet your inner intent don't relent I'm hell bent...to stay alvie

I adore my freedom's why I never wanted to try nine to five ain't ever gonna be part of this machine never will I be seen not to dream





Seasons fly they kinda make you feel old and tired try and let them make you young and wise try to let them make you breath - you're alive

The opening lines suggest that there are moves and clues owed, indicating that there is a need for balance, and a sense of responsibility to achieve it.

The chorus highlights the importance of being aware of the path that one is taking in life and to be ready for changes that could come. The words emphasize that we are in a time where everything is changing and that everyone needs to learn and understand that the world is heading for something new. The song suggests that while there will be difficulties, if we can trust our instincts and not be afraid to take action, we will be okay.


The song has a strong message of personal freedom and resilience, emphasising that we must focus on our own intentions and not let anyone else control us. It suggests that the path to happiness is by staying true to our dreams and not allowing ourselves to be confined by rules and the expectations of others.


Line by Line Meaning

Moves and clues we're owed our dues there's no doubt about it that all above is about wanting to live long enough
We have to make certain moves and take clues to survive, and it's evident that our purpose is to survive.


Beats and freaks my mind reaps seeds sown and grown I've blown a whole in my soul oh no blow a whole in my soul too slow
My mind is exposed to various things, some good and some bad, and now I feel empty, and it was a gradual process.


'cause I'm prepared to declare that everyone of these scenes only means that only one of my eyes does disguise that I'm heading for surpise no more lies and no ties
I am willing to state that all of these situations have one thing in common and that is they serve as a disguise, and I can see beyond that now with clarity and no more deceit or restriction.


As I defend to the end I don't depend on those rules and the fools who try and tell me how to be how to see it's not me 'cause I'm free
I am fiercely defending my autonomy till the end, and no longer relying on laws or others who try to dictate how I should act or perceive things because I am free.


Look at the path you're on Out of the way of shelter Stranger days will come Words are over
Examine your current course and avoid taking the easy way out - things are going to change, and talk is cheap.


Strange strange days I'm not crazed I'm not phased by laws.. I am the one who deplores all war you know you got to breath not deceive
The current climate is unusual, but I am not disturbed by the rules, I denounce all warfare, and everyone ought to be honest and truthful rather than deceitful.


I pledge to the edge cannot censor my speech I need to teach that we are going down we're going down no sound
I swear to express myself to the limit without restriction - I must preach that our situation is getting worse and approaching a silent downfall.


and the clues are clear Don't live in fear And the words are strong
The indicators are evident - do not be driven by fear, and our convictions should be firm.


And you need to learn Your time has come It's the path you're on
You must learn that your moment has arrived, and it's the path you have chosen that got you here.


I create I debate I don't hate all those vibes but the lies they make me want to leave not believe in all the good misunderstood you know you should and I would
I bring about ideas, discuss, and do not harbor resentment towards any feelings. However, the lies make me want to distance myself instead of accepting the positive misconception.


So don't show don't blow don't be weak and don't defeat all you meet your inner intent don't relent I'm hell-bent...to stay alive
Do not be pretentious or vocal, remain strong and do not defeat the object of your interaction. Continue your drive and remain committed to your purpose to survive.


I adore my freedom's why I never wanted to try nine to five ain't ever gonna be part of this machine never will I be seen not to dream
I cherish my freedom, which is why I never wanted to do a nine-to-five job, and I will never be part of this systematic process that doesn't allow me to dream.


Seasons fly they kinda make you feel old and tired try and let them make you young and wise try to let them make you breath - you're alive
Time passes by and can create an impression of aging and exhaustion, but one should strive to let time make them grow wiser and youthful - appreciate the present, and you're alive.

Thanks! Someone had a fantastic video years ago with different art slideshow that just went so well with this song and some asshole got their video removed. Not from this band but some other syntax that got the UK stuff wiped.

@celing9191

As long as the uploader is not based in the US that guy can't touch it. The trademark is US only. He wiped my Syntax Channel clean.

@777pusher
