Strange Things
The Girl Next Door Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leather straps bound my arms
I couldn't reach you
When I died all was wild
Poppies grew in my head
Everyone was red like the dead
Stranger things have happened
Stranger things have happened...like this
When I died something pried my eyes wide open
I saw stars all around whispering my name
When I died my past flashed before me
My future was a stage I couldn't leave yet
Stranger things have happened
Stranger things have happened like this
What am I doing here?
You adore me
Stranger things have happened
Stranger things have happened like this
What am I doing here?
You restore me
If not for you, I wouldn't be here
If not for you, I would leave here
If not for you, the circus would have skipped this town
If not for you, I would have drowned
If not for you, If not for you
If not for you, I would have died...near here
Stranger things have happened
Stranger things have happened like this
Stranger things have happened...like this
Stranger things have happened
Stranger things are happened now
What am I doing here?
Thank you for the strange things
The lyrics of the song "Strange Things" by The Girl Next Door describe an experience of the singer who had died and then returned to life. It seems that the singer was bound with leather straps that prevented their reach towards someone when they died. They saw poppies growing in their head, and everyone appeared red like the dead. When they died, something opened their eyes wide, and they saw stars whispering their name. Their past flashed before them, and their future turned into a stage where they felt trapped.
The singer believes that stranger things have happened and are happening to them. They question their presence and wonder what they are doing here. But they also feel adored and restored by someone who has saved them. If not for that person, the singer would have died, and the circus would have skipped town. Consequently, they thank that person for the strange things that have happened to them.
The song describes a surreal experience of a person who feels overwhelmed by the events that took place after their death. They have seen things that are beyond comprehension, but they are grateful for being alive. The reference to the circus implies that the singer felt like they were part of a show or spectacle, and they could not escape from it. The song conveys the idea of life being unpredictable and full of mysterious events that might change our lives.
