Song Meaning
"There’s one line that says, "Ever since Bowie died, it hasn’t been the same." That’s always kind of stuck with me. That was the beginning of 2016, and then it seemed like when the Starman left this Earth, all the mad men came in and started to destroy everything." (Kerrang, 2024)
Lyrics
We stumble down the avenue
Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo
They promised us forever
But we got less
There's no such thing as promises
Just secret codes from alphabets
They promised us forever
But we got less
These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay
Well, this is how the world will end
When superheroes play pretend
They promised us forever
But we got less
It's the return of the blob
And Jesus gonna quit his job
He promised us forever
But we got less
These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times
Strange days are here to stay
Everyone is racist
And the Uber's running late
I just lost my sense of humour
Gen-Z killing baby boomer now
Strange days are here to stay
Lonely boy
With a heart made of hate
Baby Babylon
And making guns made out of clay
Are we in hell
Or is this just a fantasy?
I can't see this ending well
Now that it's too late
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay
Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo
They promised us forever
But we got less
There's no such thing as promises
Just secret codes from alphabets
They promised us forever
But we got less
These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay
Well, this is how the world will end
When superheroes play pretend
They promised us forever
But we got less
It's the return of the blob
And Jesus gonna quit his job
He promised us forever
But we got less
These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times
Strange days are here to stay
Everyone is racist
And the Uber's running late
I just lost my sense of humour
Gen-Z killing baby boomer now
Strange days are here to stay
Lonely boy
With a heart made of hate
Baby Babylon
And making guns made out of clay
Are we in hell
Or is this just a fantasy?
I can't see this ending well
Now that it's too late
Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay
