Strange
margø Lyrics

The song "Strange" by margø talks about the complexities of the singer's mind and how outsiders often find it difficult to understand her. The first verse creates a vivid image of the singer's mind by comparing it to a place that is filled with "skeletons". By acknowledging her own unusual mindset, the singer communicates her vulnerability to the listener, but also hopes that they would try to understand her better.

The second verse is more assertive and highlights the singer's need for independence. By saying "Don’t get all possessive acting like you’re so controlling, My freedom is a weapon, baby you could never own me," the singer reiterates her desire to be herself, rather than someone that others want her to be. The pre-chorus repeats the central message of the song by saying that living one's own life is 'strange', but it is better to do so and be true to oneself than to live someone else's life.

The song also touches upon the theme of mental health and anxiety with the line "My mental isn’t broken, I just need a little headroom". It shows the distrust that the singer feels towards others when they try to 'save her', which only adds to her feelings of anxiety and anger.

Overall, "Strange" is a powerful song that talks about the struggles that one goes through in the process of self-discovery and acceptance. It has themes of independence, mental health, and authenticity woven into its lyrics.
