So Strange
Truly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the moon
In the rain. in your hair, in my brain
I'm reeling this feeling is strange
I'm reeling in your violet ray
So strange
On the way, from the gutter to the bar.
I'm reeling this feeling is strange
This season our treason is sane
So Strange very strange
(GUITAR SOLO)
I'm reeling your mouth is strange
Jewelled eyes, warm thighs, sweet face
So strange, very strange
I'm reeling this feeling is strange
This season I'm feeling the change,
So strange.
The lyrics to "So Strange" by Truly depict a feeling of disorientation and confusion that comes with being enamored by someone. The song seems to detail the experience of falling for someone unexpectedly and suddenly, with the singer describing being "in your room, on your floor" and "under the moon, in the rain." These experiences are immersive, with physical sensations like rain in the hair and the feeling of a person occupying their thoughts ("in my brain").
The song then shifts settings to being "in your car, under the melting stars, on the way from the gutter to the bar," which suggests a feeling of adventure and spontaneity. The singer continues to describe being "reeling" and experiencing a sensation of the "strange," with the "violet ray" and "jeweled eyes" of the object of their affection adding to the otherworldly feeling.
Overall, the song seems to capture the disorientation and intensity that often comes with falling in love, with its evocative language and vivid imagery painting a picture of a tumultuous emotional landscape.
