So Strange
Embracing the Puzzles of Life: Hootie & the Blowfish's So Strange
Lyrics
It's so hard to breathe right now
Expressing difficulty in breathing, suggesting emotional or psychological distress.
Living things without a friend of mine
Feeling lonely, with a sense of emptiness in life without a close friend.
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
Feeling overwhelmed, as if every aspect of life is saturated with uncertainty or challenges.
You thought you could feel
Reflecting on the expectation of experiencing certain emotions.
And it's maybe 6 a.m.
Describing a time of day, possibly indicating early morning.
And no one wants to be with me
Feeling unwanted or rejected by others.
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Seeking connection with something unfamiliar in a moment of loneliness.
Ohh, I'm free
Expressing a sense of freedom, possibly from external expectations.
If I can't find the warmth in my summer
Struggling to find positivity or joy in personal experiences.
And I can't find the light in my day
Feeling a lack of illumination or brightness in life.
I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away
Finding solace and support in the company of friends during difficult times.
You make me feel so strange
Expressing the emotional impact someone has, creating a unique and unfamiliar feeling.
Won't you let me breathe the air
Desiring the freedom to breathe and enjoy the present moment.
I want to hold on to right now
Expressing a wish to cherish the current moment in time.
Won't you let me read a book about
Yearning to engage in activities like reading and seeking comfort in stories.
Someone's queen who came back for me
Referencing a desire for a romantic connection with someone special.
I see bridges in my eyes
Metaphorically seeing challenges or obstacles in one's vision.
I see mornings left for the children
Referring to the future and the hope for a better life for the next generation.
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away
Observing people holding back, possibly from facing difficulties or making decisions.
And it makes me scream and I pray
Feeling frustration and expressing a need for release through prayer.
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
Reiterating the difficulty in finding warmth and positivity in personal experiences.
And I can't find the light in my day
Continuing the theme of a lack of light or brightness in life.
I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away
Turning to friends for support and comfort during challenging times.
You make me feel so
Reiterating the unique and unfamiliar feeling caused by someone special.
It can never end 'cause we don't speak
Highlighting a communication breakdown, leading to an unresolved issue.
It will never just die
Emphasizing the persistence of an issue, suggesting it won't simply fade away.
So why don't you call the man
Suggesting a need to confront and address one's pride or ego.
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride
Requesting external assistance to overcome personal challenges.
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
Repeating the theme of struggling to find warmth and light in personal experiences.
And I can't find the light in my day
Continuing the expression of a lack of brightness in life.
I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away
Seeking solace and comfort in the company of a friend during difficulties.
You make me feel so strange
Reiterating the unique and unfamiliar feeling caused by someone special.
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
Expressing the ongoing struggle to find warmth and positivity in personal experiences.
And I can't find the light in my day
Continuing the theme of a lack of light or brightness in life.
I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away
Turning to friends for support and comfort during challenging times.
