STREET POEM (feat. Katteyes)

In 'STREET POEM (feat. Katteyes)', STRANGEHUMAN delves into the complexities of love, trust, and emotional vulnerability. The song opens with a stark admission of the singer's destructive tendencies, metaphorically describing how he fills his lover's heart with holes. This imagery sets the tone for a relationship fraught with pain and addiction, as he confesses to being hooked on the 'venom' of his partner's love. The repeated plea for his lover's heart to be made of iron underscores the emotional damage he fears he might cause, highlighting a deep-seated awareness of his own flaws.

The narrative then shifts to a more intimate setting, where the singer implores his partner to stay with him despite the difficulties they've faced. The lyrics reveal a struggle with trust, as the partner's past experiences have made it hard for them to believe in love again. This tension is palpable, as the singer's repeated requests for trust and closeness are met with hesitation. The pain of waiting and the uncertainty of the future are expressed poignantly, capturing the emotional turmoil that both parties are experiencing.

Katteyes' verse adds another layer to the story, providing the perspective of the partner who has been hurt. She acknowledges the singer's promises and the allure of his world, but her past wounds make it hard for her to believe in true love. Her cold kisses and the metaphor of her heart not being made of iron contrast sharply with the singer's earlier pleas, emphasizing the emotional distance between them. Despite the pain, there is a lingering hope for happiness, as she imagines a future where they could be happy together. This duality of hope and despair encapsulates the fragile dance of love and trust that defines their relationship.
