About This Track

'Weird' by KAYTRANADA is an Electronic track from the album 'TIMELESS', released in 2024. The lyrics sound like a blunt pep talk, urging someone to stop being disruptive and to settle down, with the refrain asking why they want to be weird and telling them to get it out of the way “Right this instant”. The chorus and verse share a quick, admonitory rhythm, shifting from the question of attitude to direct instruction about behaviour in the moment.

"Weird" is a track by KAYTRANADA, from the album TIMELESS, released 7th June 2024. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about KAYTRANADA.

Lyrics

Weird

[Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Why you wanna be weird? Ooh

You ain't gotta be weird, ooh

Get that outta here, fool

Right this instant

[Verse 1: Durand Bernarr]

Don't be that guy, mucking up the vibe

It's only been six minutes since I stepped inside

Take a step back, you need to relax

Pop a chill pill, you will be just fine

Know this for a fact

[Pre-Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Because you're killing me

With all your funky energy

Give a little space to breathe

Now it costs you zero coins

To not be annoying, so why

[Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Why you wanna be weird? Ooh (Why you gotta be weird?)

You ain't gotta be weird, ooh (Ah)

Get that outta here, fool (Right this instant)

Right this instant

[Verse 2: Durand Bernarr]

Lеt me help you read thе room

It's clear you don't know how to

If I'm gonna play pretend

It's gon' have to involve a check

[Pre-Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Because you're killing me

With your retrograded mercury (Entirely too deep for me, yeah)

What sign is it when I leave?

Mmm, and while you're focused on the stars

You missed the best part, I know why

[Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Why you wanna be weird? Ooh (Why you gotta be weird?)

You ain't gotta be weird, ooh (And get that outta here)

Get that outta here, fool

Right (Right this instant)

[Verse 3: KAYTRANADA & Durand Bernarr]

My word, you are absurd

What you see normally is probably a blur (Uh-huh)

'Cause you can't read the room

Everything was cute till you came through (I'm sayin')

Please stop telling folks that we cool

You might like me, but I don't like you

Might hurt but I gotta tell the truth

'Cause if I waste your time, I'ma waste mine too, oh

[Chorus: Durand Bernarr]

Ooh, why you wanna be weird? Ooh (Oh, why you gotta be weird?)

You ain't gotta be weird, ooh (You ain't gotta be weird)

Get that outta here, fool (Get that outta here)

Right this instant, oh-oh

Why you wanna be weird? Ooh (Why you wanna be weird? Yeah)

You ain't gotta be weird, ooh (You ain't gotta be weird)

Get that outta here, fool (I, oh)

Right this instant

[Outro: KAYTRANADA]

Everybody, just—

Well
