| Radical Face – The Strangest Things Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I think that the song has a happier outlook. I think that the story takes place in his bed, where he is unable to sleep because of the ghosts or bad memories that are haunting him. the narrarator is grappling with his sanity, trying to ward off his bad memories that plague him. The Crows represent the outside forces that are bearing against him, they wont back down, but neither will he and he has confidence that he will beat them (and i cant lose). but his own mind seems to turn against him (and i might lose), this is symbolized by the ghosts being on his porch and the cold biting his ears. when he says "Oh no i think ive seen this before" it lets the listener know that this has happened before, this attack on his sanity. but i beleive the last stanza is his realization or moment of clarity, where he looks at his lover sleeping and realizes thats all he needs to defeat his mental instabilities, and thats the strange thing, he has never had someone next to him and fighting with him against his bad ghosts, he had always been alone before that. go back and listen to the ending of the song, it has a lighter tune to it, its less ominous. | |
