Discover the story of the song > Ain T It Strange – Alphaville

The lyrics are talking about how strange it is that we destroy the things we care about and leave behind the things we want. It's a shame that we smile when we're sad and nobody knows why we're here or where we're going. It's also strange that we share things we hate and break the things we love. When we pray, we still betray each other and nobody knows why we're so tough when we're really fragile. The lyrics also talk about how we could be really good together if we just tried, but instead we fall into a dream where nobody catches us and we fall for love. Life is like a dream and all the tears we cry are not in vain because the pain goes away when we are all united. The lyrics also mention how advanced we are as a society, but still fail because it's like a race where everyone is trying to win. We can't keep watching the news and feeling overwhelmed, we need to stick together or else we will lose.
