Strange Love is Halsey growing into herself and her new found freedom. It’s her way of saying, ‘screw the way I’ve been told to exist, I’m doing it my own way’. It is unapologetic and explicit, not that should be unexpected from Halsey.
Does no one in the comments understand what the song is about ? All the comments are saying how 'omg I really hope this song is about matty' or 'shit this is totally about Michael' like ??? The song is about how it's none of your business whether she had sex with the men and/or women she's been associated with or not. Why don't people understand this??
Okay, so we've already established that Halsey cussing is our religion, but how is it possible that even her saying "damn" is the mOST FRICKING GLORIOUS THING EVER?!!
LYRICS Everybody wants to know If we fucked on the bathroom sink How your hands felt in my hair If we were high on amphetamines And everybody wants to hear How we chainsmoked until three And how you laughed when you said my name And how you gripped my hips so mean We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night But the ending is the same every damn time, no, no, no We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night But the ending is the same every damn time They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it That's the beauty of a secret That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything Everybody's waiting up to hear if I dare speak your name Put it deep beneath the track, like the hole you left in me And everybody wants to know 'bout how it felt to hear you scream They know you walk like you're a God, they can't believe I made you weak We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night But the ending is the same every damn time, no, no, no We wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night But the ending is the same every damn time They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it That's the beauty of a secret That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything These days I can't seem to get along with anyone Get by with anyone These days I can't seem to make this right Well, is this fine? Will it be alright? They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it That's the beauty of a secret That's the beauty of a secret You know you're supposed to keep it But I don't have to fucking tell you anything, anything

Along with Roman Holiday, Colors/Colors Pt. II, Ghost, Castle and Haunting, this is one of my favourite songs from Badlands. Love the beat in particular.
"Everyone wants to know, how it felt to hear you scream. They know you walk like you're a God, they can't believe I made you weak." My favorite lyrics from this song
I feel like some of her songs are like things that really happened to her at one point in time. The way she sings them are just so powerful it makes me think that. It's very possible that this didn't happen to her in her past but the way she sings it makes me think that.
This is the first song of hers I heard just as background music to a video and I liked it so much I looked up Halsey and listened to every single song of hers and sat back in amazement. I am officially Halsey trash. Her music moves e so much and I feel so amazing when I listen to her.
+Caroline Sparkles the first I heard was literally the intro to Castle in a video that a friend made and I immediately fell in love with that (in like 10 seconds)
her voice is amazing she'll never see this but halsey inspires me so so much I've been listening since room 93, ever since I was 12 this lady has practically been my life role model. her songs have guided me through the love, heartbreak & confusion. this song makes me feel badass but nostalgic: two words that typically don't belong in the same sentence but it's unique right? just like halsey. just like ashley. love you so much queen😭💓
Listen to the lyrics, carefully. "I don't have to fucking tell them anything." meaning her private life is none of our business because it isn't. Every celebrity has to deal with this and we always claw our way into their personal life and voice our opinions about them. This song is about the public, media, and it's not about a lover of hers. "That's a beauty of a secret." Goodbye.
I always imagine a gay relationship when I hear this song like I'm pretty sure it's because of the lines "they think i'm insane, they think my lover is strange" like that could describe people disapproving of the gender of her lover also she is bi and the gender is never explicitly stated in the song.
I have just discovered her today via twitter, and holy shit. I am hooked, listend to Gasoline and control so many times, slowly but surely going through all of her songs. None of them have let me down so far.
Every Halsey Song gives me chills, i dont know her voice is just that spooky and a different voice in a good way. Anyone else gets the chill down your spine or is just me?
honestly, if y’all weren’t here on this era... you missed out a lot. i remember jamming out to all of her songs from this album and it’s all **chef’s kiss**
I started listening to alternative music at the beginning of the year and I've fell in love. I'm so sick of meaningless tunes and repetitive lyrics. I started with Twenty One Pilots, which somehow led to Halsey [Marian hill got thrown in here somewhere too] and then Melanie Martinez. Actual I found both Halsey, Melanie, and Marian on IHeartRadio lol. I'm continuing my search for alt.music.
+Khanaja Scott Productions Some good music to listen to is Panic at the Disco, Troye Sivan, Marina and the Diamonds, and The 1975 those are just some of my personal favorites (i love Melanie, Halsey, Twenty One Pilots too)..also good luck with finding some good music that u like! !!!
when you want to choose a favorite song from this album but it's simply impossible.. lol ok colors is my No 1 but i literally love every single one... it's been 6 years since it came out and while i'm obsessing over her latest albums, i'm literally still obsessing over this one as well... it's like every year i fall in love with a different song...and now there's not even one left on this album that i don't love..it took me 6 years to finally be able to say that i'm obsessed with each one of them. first it was colors,hurricane,new americana,control,castle and gasoline , then it was hold me down,ghost,drive and roman holiday , and this year was strange love,young god,coming down and haunting ♥
HOW IS IT THAT THE ARTISTS DONT GET IMMENSE SHIVERS WHEN PERFORMING THEIR SONGS? CAUSE WHAT THEY WRITE LEGIT APPLIES TO THEIR EXPERIENCES EXACTLY AND THEY CAN RELATE TO MINE AS WELL, AND THAT GIVES ME SHIVERS OF AMAZEMENT THAT I CAN LISTEN TO A SONG AND FEEL SO STRONGLY WITH IT SO SINCE IT LEGIT FULL ON APPLIES TO THEM, HOW DO THEY NOT BREAK DOWN WHEN PERFORMING THATS AMAZING AKSHWOSHD
You know I like hearing Halsey curse because it's full of grittiness and aggression and really expresses how one would feel, plenty of people just add in curse words just to add them and Halsey puts them in because she's passionate and unfiltered
