Strange
Unveiling Life's Odd Symphony: Strange by Rob Brooks Band
Lyrics
One year on probation but the beer is gettin cold
Reflecting on a year of probation, contemplating life as the beer loses its appeal.
They told me to be a good boy and that’s just what I’m told
Adhering to the advice to be well-behaved, conforming to societal expectations.
Everybody’s laughing Making good ole fun
Observing others laughing and mocking in a lighthearted manner.
But they’ll never understand the life I live drunk and on the run
Feeling misunderstood as people cannot grasp the unconventional, intoxicated, and fugitive lifestyle.
It’s beer drinkin wine sippin’ Jack on ice and front door kickin’
Listing vices like beer, wine, Jack Daniels, and aggression at the front door.
The neighbors’ all hopped up on dope
Neighbors are influenced by drugs, contributing to the chaotic environment.
The college kids won’t quit doing coke
College students persistently indulging in cocaine.
Yeah she’s fine no she ain’t
Describing a woman's contradictory state—physically attractive but not emotionally stable.
She’s just here for the lights and fame
Implying a woman's presence is motivated by a desire for attention and celebrity.
It’s all strange
Summing up the bizarre and unconventional nature of the described lifestyle.
Mommas’ disappointed in all that I have done
Expressing disappointment from the speaker's mother regarding his actions.
She’s prayin for the savior of all of her lost sons
Mother praying for salvation for her wayward sons.
Well the church bell rings on Sunday
Referencing the traditional act of attending church on Sundays.
So I better show my face
The speaker reluctantly attending church to maintain appearances for the probation officer.
But my PO screams this is the last time before they ship me out this place
Probation officer warning that this is the final chance before being relocated.
It’s beer drinkin wine sippin’ Jack on ice and front door kickin’
Reiteration of vices, emphasizing the recurring and pervasive nature of the lifestyle.
The neighbors’ all hopped up on dope
Neighbors remain influenced by drugs, perpetuating a turbulent environment.
The college kids won’t quit doing coke
College students persist in their drug use, contributing to the chaotic scene.
Yeah she’s fine no she ain’t
Repeating the description of the woman's contradictory state.
She’s just here for the lights and fame
Reiterating the idea that the woman is present for attention and fame.
It’s all strange
Emphasizing the overall peculiarity and unfamiliarity of the described lifestyle.
Well It’s beer drinkin wine sippin’ Jack on ice and front door kickin’
Restating the cycle of vices and aggressive behavior at the front door.
The neighbors’ all hopped up on dope
Neighbors persist in drug use, contributing to the tumultuous atmosphere.
The college kids won’t quit doing coke
College students continue indulging in cocaine, perpetuating chaos.
Yeah she’s fine no she ain’t
Repeating the contradictory description of the woman's state.
She’s just here for the lights and fame
Reiterating the idea that the woman is present for attention and fame.
It’s all strange
Reemphasizing the overall strangeness and peculiarity of the lifestyle.
Mother fucking Strange
Concluding with an explicit declaration of the peculiar and unconventional nature of the described life.
