Strangely So
Echoes of Familiarity: Embracing Ghosts of the Past
Lyrics
Stangely So
Strangely So
Strangely so familiar were your clothes
The clothes of someone are strangely familiar.
Strangely so familiar was your smell I suppose
The scent of someone is strangely familiar, indicating a strong connection.
I suppose I was scared
The speaker was scared.
No I shouldn’t have dared
Regret about daring to do something.
But I just couldn’t be by myself
Difficulty being alone.
Strangely so forgiving was the air
The atmosphere is forgiving.
Strangely so permitting were the locks of your hair
The locks of hair are permitting, suggesting openness.
I know you’re not impressed
Awareness that the other person is not impressed.
With the things I confess
Confessing things that may not be well-received.
And I’m probably best off alone
Recognition that being alone might be the best option.
What in the hell is going wrong with me
Expressing confusion about personal issues.
I’ve been juked by a smile
Feeling deceived by a smile.
Spent some time deep in my Déjà vu
Experiencing a sense of déjà vu for an extended period.
For awhile, for awhile
Reflecting on this déjà vu experience.
Strangely so peculiar in my head
Feeling peculiar or unusual in one's thoughts.
Strangely so I miss her like the old miss the dead
Missing someone intensely, likening it to missing the deceased.
Though this concept is strange
Acknowledging the strangeness of the concept.
Still this image remains
The image of the person remains despite the strangeness.
Like I once walked this dark road before
A sense of having walked a similar dark road before.
Maybe I’ve come back to my golden mind
Possibly returning to a more innocent and positive mindset from childhood.
I once had as a child
Recalling a golden mindset from childhood.
Spent some time down on the dreaming end
Spending time in imaginative or dreamlike states.
For awhile, for awhile
Reflecting on this dreamlike state for an extended period.
Strangely so familiar were your clothes
Repetition of the familiarity of the person's clothes.
Strangely so familiar was your smell I suppose
Repetition of the familiarity of the person's smell.
I suppose I was scared
Reiteration of the speaker's fear.
No I shouldn’t have dared
Regret for daring to face the fear.
But I just couldn’t be by myself
Difficulty being alone reiterated.
