When Everything Really Matters
Strange
W.E.R.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on
Turn you up, figure you out
I want to take you on
These words, you will be mine
Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to make whatever it takes
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name
Secret love, make it rhyme
Take you in and make you mine
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
I tripped and fell, did I fall
What I want to feel
I want to feel it now
You know with love comes strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
A fourth chance, a word, a signal
A nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real, real
These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
These words, you will be mine
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh
The lyrics to W.E.R.M.'s song "Strange" seem to be about the struggles of a person trying to win over someone they have feelings for, but who is not reciprocating those feelings. The first verse expresses confusion over the other person's behavior towards the singer, while also expressing a desire to understand and "take [them] on." The chorus repeats the line "These words, you will be mine" as a mantra of sorts, with the singer seemingly trying to convince themselves that they can win the other person over. The second verse suggests that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to win the other person over, using deception ("fool myself") and possibly even forgery ("sign your name"). The third verse again emphasizes the singer's desperation for love, using the metaphor of "strange currencies" and pleading for any sign or signal from the other person to give them hope.

I think it looks kinda pretty in it's own way, the way the proboscus spreads out in such a delicate branching pattern. Yeah, I'm weird, but it looks so mesmerizing to me.
