Strange Days
Navigating a Maze of Deception: Craig Wilson's 'Strange Days' Revels in Unraveling Truths
Lyrics
Lies are truth, truth a lie
Lies and truth are often indistinguishable, blurring the line between them.
Sad enough to make you cry
The situation is so distressing that it can evoke tears.
Don’t give up, don’t buy in
Encouragement not to surrender or believe everything presented.
Play your song on a tiny violin
Metaphorically dismissing the seriousness of a situation by playing a small, insignificant instrument.
Once good was good bad exposed
What was once perceived as good has been revealed to have a negative aspect.
How bad is this I don’t know
Expressing uncertainty about the extent of a situation's negativity.
We shall see as time goes by
A wait-and-see approach to understand the outcome of events over time.
Light one up and slowly
Suggesting the act of lighting something and observing it gradually extinguish, possibly metaphorical for life's transience.
Watch it die
Observing something fading away or losing its vitality.
Strange days
Reiteration emphasizing the unusual nature of the current circumstances.
Strange days
-Strange days

-Who’s to say when this will end
Uncertainty about predicting the conclusion or resolution of a situation.
Drive you round the bend
A situation causing emotional distress or mental exhaustion.
And back again
Expressing the feeling of going through an ordeal repeatedly.
We shall see as time goes by
Reiteration of the approach to wait and watch the unfolding of events over time.
Light one up and slowly
Similar to line 8, observing something slowly losing its essence or significance.
Watch it die
Observing the fading away or diminishing of something important.
Strange days
Repeated emphasis on the unusual and unsettling nature of the current times.

-Lies are truth, truth a lie
Reiteration of the idea that distinguishing lies from truth is challenging.
Sad enough to make you cry
Expressing the distressing nature of the situation, leading to tears.
Don’t give up, don’t buy in
Encouragement to remain resilient and not fall for misleading information.
Play your song on a tiny violin
Metaphorically suggesting playing a small, insignificant instrument as a way of trivializing a serious matter.
Strange days
Repetition emphasizing the strangeness and unpredictability of the current state of affairs.
