Strange
Toy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up in my room with a desire to dream
Of unfamiliar places and faces, never what they seem
I get up to do the zombie dance
In my sleep a nocturnal chance
I feel the rise of the beast in my head
My mind is bleeding my eyes turnin' red
Confusing faces of the people around
Inducing graces never hearing a sound

Back to the wall with a crazy head
My mama's callin' for me
My head goes bang, bang, bang
I realize that I need to be
Strange, deranged
Nightmare master, black dog bastard
Strange so strange
Come into my world and be insane

Now the voodoo queens are comin' after me
They caught me playin' with their dolls
Pins and needles prickin' my flesh
Now I'm somewhere in pain nailed to the wall

The wind of change has now blown me away
I hear the growl of a pack of wild dogs
I smell the rush of adrenalin blow
I remember the cold cold feelin' of my
I move my hands and fingers around like I'm about to cast a spell




You ask the questions that make you wonder of the story I tell
Unfamiliar places and faces, never what they seem

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Toy's song "Strange" explore themes of dreams, confusion, and a sense of being out of place. The singer wakes up with a desire to dream about unfamiliar places and faces, but quickly realizes that these dreams are not what they seem. As they get up to do the "zombie dance," their mind starts to spin with strange thoughts, and the world around them becomes confusing. They feel a rise of intense emotions and a sense of isolation, unable to truly understand or connect with the people around them.


The second verse takes a darker turn as the singer describes being pursued by voodoo queens who are angry at them for playing with their dolls. The pain inflicted by pins and needles suggests a sense of punishment or retribution for their actions. The wind of change blows them away, and they hear the threatening growl of wild dogs. The rush of adrenaline combined with a cold feeling hints at a mix of fear and excitement. The singer then describes their hands and fingers moving as if casting a spell, perhaps demonstrating a sense of power or control in the midst of their confusion.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a constant battle between the familiar and the unknown, the conscious and the subconscious, and the desire to break free from societal norms and expectations. The theme of strangeness and being out of place runs through the song, inviting the listener to enter the singer's world of insanity and embrace their own uniqueness.
