Phoebe Bridgers - Scott Street (Lyrics)

"Bedrock is supposedly just a couple blocks from the street that provides Bridgers with one of her song titles, “Scott Street.” It’s a quaint residential stretch that the song’s subject, Marshall, travelled to make a daily pilgrimage to buy cigarettes. But when we leave Bedrock to look for it, it’s nowhere to be found. “I’m directionally challenged,” she confesses before realizing that the street is actually called “Scott Avenue,” which explains why GPS isn’t able to help us. When we finally find it and get out to walk through the quiet row of homes, purple jacarandas flowers stick to our shoes. “I guess ‘Scott Street’ is about being really lonely,” she reflects. “Sometimes I want to cop out and say it’s about a lot of different things, but really it’s all there. It’s just a diary.”" - bandcamp daily, September 25 2017

♪ lyrics ♪

[Verse 1]
Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger
With an open heart, open container
I've got a stack of mail and a tall can
It's a shower beer it's a payment plan

[Verse 2]
There's helicopters over my head
Every night when I go to bed
Spending money and I earned it
When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it

[Chorus]
Do you feel ashamed
When you hear my name

[Verse 3]
I asked you, "How is your sister?
I heard she got her degree"
And I said, "That makes me feel old"
He said, "What does that make me?"

[Verse 4]
I asked you, "How is playing drums?"
You said, "It's too much shit to carry"
"And what about the band?"
You said, "They're all getting married"

[Chorus]
Do you feel ashamed
When you hear my name

[Outro]
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger

This song feels like junior year of high school, your childhood is pretty much over, you’ve already had friends, siblings, people you love graduate, and soon enough you’ll be leaving too. The place you grew up and lived is the same, and the memories you made are still found on those streets and places, but from a different time.

[eddiesnapback]

its so funny how we say "dont be a stranger" like its not one of the most devastating phrases ever

[molly]

Song feels like when you stop for a moment, and realise your not a little child anymore. Your biggest worry in life isn’t your 7 times tables anymore. You’re not in contact with all ur primary school classmates anymore. You’re family is growing up. Your loved ones are passing away. You’ll soon have a job, a house, a family of your own, that is if your lucky. You’ll have new challenges, new difficulties, more hard times. But with all that the future has to hold, continue to stop for a second, cherish those old memories of your youth and innocence. Look back at old photographs with your big bright smile, the silly poses, the laughs with no insecurities. Look back on the happy memories of your life and slow down. There’s no rush in life. Time is short, but if you use it wisely it’ll last an eternity.

my son died 4 years ago, his name was Scott and we had to go to his residence to collect clothing for the funeral. we referred to his address as scott’s street. His sister just got her degree a week ago, he would be so proud. We both grieve. She found this song today casually looking at a social media post and when she looked up the lyrics she said mom you have to hear this . The tears are rolling down my cheeks.
(They were born on the same day six years apart; they were referred to as the twins)

3:55 This part of the song hits differently when you hear while missing someone you like but can't be with them.

[SkoomaAddict]

This song hits different when you love someone and can’t be with them

[PavelMarkovic]

Thank you Phoebe for calming me down. Im still fighting in psychiatric hospital. I don't want to be a stranger anymore. With love.

[Yochii]

"anyway, don't be a stranger" damn it always hits hard

[baddussyjr.]

This song just feels like growing up. Going from fighting with ur siblings 24/7 to barely seeing them. The start of ur life altering decisions. It is weird

[unadose]

This song really hits deep so bad... The "ooooh...oooh" part is like touching my inside soul and memories like alot of things imagining some people, imagining my self from past and visualizing future... It really is that deep.

[SoupSoup]

I don’t usually cry over songs, but when this shit comes on I start sobbing, crying, wailing, screaming, yelling, vomiting, and sliding my fingernails down the wall

[christinemorales]

To anyone who's been hearing this, we'll all going to make it.. We're gonna be ok someday.. You'll be healed someday.. Just keep going💙

[mammomaster]

Definitely one of the most meaningful songs I've ever listened to.

[anamkhan]

some memories, moments, people, and places are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming and sometimes they hurt you in ways you can't even imagine.

This song reminds me of the gut feeling of not being able to go back to your childhood and wishing you could. Thinking about the times you spent with people you don’t talk to anymore, and even if you did talk to them again, they aren’t the same as when you were super close to them. Everyone changes as they get older and go their own ways, but you staying the same and living in the moments you wish you could just stay in forever. So you wait for the day that may never come, the day the people you used to talk to go back to the way it was, and them not being a stranger anymore, you wish you could just go back once, before everyone grew up and parted ways.

Me coming to an end of my teenage years and listening to this-

[casper-hale]

this feels like a conversation between two old friends, or someone that died young. i think i'd have this conversation with my sister, showing and tell her about my life since shes left.

[dieolated]

listening on my 23rd birthday. there’s a hurricane outside. i miss when birthdays were exciting. i want to be a kid again

[heatherr]

I’m graduating college tomorrow. I truly feel like my childhood has ended. Tonight is the last night of my childhood. I turn 22 the day after I graduate. I feel so old but simultaneously so young. I’m not a kid anymore, but I’m just starting off my life. I never really thought about what this time in my life would feel like. I feel like “don’t be a stranger” is me speaking to my childhood self, saying goodbye, but keep visiting :, )

this song makes me think of Christmas like going on a train in the mountains while it’s snowing. this song is beautiful
