So Strange

In 'So Strange,' Superhumanoids delve into the complexities of longing and disconnection. The song opens with the narrator driving, a metaphor for the journey they undertake to see someone important to them. This drive, however, is tinged with a sense of resentment, as it makes them 'hate this whole town.' The town represents a place of emotional turmoil, where the presence of the person they long for is both a source of comfort and pain. The repeated line 'Where it isn't it is' suggests a paradoxical state of existence, where reality and perception are constantly at odds.

The chorus, 'Your whole town is so strange, never, never going to change,' underscores a sense of alienation. The town, likely a metaphor for the person's emotional state or life circumstances, is depicted as unchanging and foreign. This unchanging strangeness creates a barrier between the narrator and the person they are connected to, further emphasized by the line 'Your connected to, another man's connected to you.' This could imply a complicated relationship dynamic, possibly involving infidelity or emotional unavailability, adding layers to the narrator's sense of isolation.

The plea 'Please come back to me, so alone out here' reveals the narrator's deep sense of loneliness and yearning for reconnection. Despite the emotional distance and the complexities of their relationship, the narrator holds onto hope, believing that 'my life for you could come one day.' The repetition of 'Where it isn't it is' throughout the song reinforces the theme of conflicting realities and the struggle to reconcile them. Superhumanoids use these lyrical elements to paint a vivid picture of emotional dissonance, making 'So Strange' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the search for connection in a seemingly indifferent world.
