A Strange Day Lyrics

Cover art for A Strange Day lyrics by Cure, The

This is definitely about an LSD / mushroom trip and not about suicide.

The blind man is anyone not on LSD. The taking of hands is being led through the trip as a religious experience, echoes of Jesus.

The man playing on his knees is a religious person praying who cannot see the entire beauty of the world.

His head turning to dust and the sand and sea growing are the loss of the self and thought and the experience of the sea of souls that you perceive on a trip.

The rest of the song is about how you experience a trip on the seashore and seeing the beauty and meaning all around you in a way that is not comprehensible once you come down. It is then lost forever.

However, this song captures perfectly the feelings and experiences that you have.
