Strange
Tokio Hotel & Kerli Lyrics

A freak of nature
I am a unique and unconventional individual

Stuck in reality
I am trapped in the real world, unable to escape societal norms and expectations

I don't fit the picture
I cannot conform to the ideal image that society wants me to be

I'm not what you want me to be
I cannot change who I am to please others

Under the radar
I am not noticed or recognized by those around me

Out of the system
I do not conform to the established system or way of doing things

Caught in the spotlight
Despite trying to avoid attention, I am often the center of attention

That's my existence
This is the reality of my life, always being different and standing out

You want me to change but all I feel is
You desire for me to change who I am, but I do not feel the same way

Strange
Being myself feels strange to you, but it is who I am

In your perfect world so
You want me to fit into your ideal world view

I feel so absurd in this life
I feel ridiculous trying to conform to your expectations

Don't come closer in my arms forever you'll be
If you come closer to me, you will forever be seen as strange like me

You want to fix me
You desire to change who I am to fit your idea of perfection

Push me
You are persistently trying to force me to adapt to your notions of normalcy

Into your fantasy
You want me to live in a world that does not exist

You try to give me
You attempt to bestow upon me

Sell me
You try to convince me to buy into your way of thinking

A new personality
A different way of being that fits your idealization

You try to lift me
You strive to raise me up to your level of perfection

I don't get better
Despite your efforts, I am not improving or changing to your liking

What's making you happy
Your satisfaction comes from changing others to fit your perfect image

Is making me sadder
Your attempts to change me are affecting my emotional well-being

In your golden cage all I feel is
I feel trapped and confined in your perfect world view

Don't come closer you'll die slowly,
If you try to force me into your mold, you will suffer a slow death of your former self

Like me Strange
You will become a strange outcast like me

When you touch me
When you come in contact with me

Strange
You will feel strange, as if you do not belong

When you kill me
If you try to destroy who I am as a unique individual

All I feel is
I will feel nothing but

Strange
Strange, as if something is wrong

In my dreams too
Even in my dreams

Together we'll be
You and I will be

Strange
Unexpected and unconventional

I am so strange
I am unique and different

Like me Strange
You will become an outcast like me
