Lyrics

Derek Pope - Stranger

〈Verse 1〉
You wanna be in a moment
But don’t realize that it’s just a show
You want someone who’s devoted
But got no faith in the world I know
(Woah)
It’s hard to hear what you’re saying
With the windows down
Don’t make it so complicated
You found your way

〈Chorus〉
I know you’re a danger, danger to me
Never met a stranger stranger than me
I know you’re a danger, danger to me
Never met a stranger stranger than me

〈Verse 2〉
Can say I tried but I know it don’t mean much
Mean much to you
I fill in the blanks and this is the thanks I get
But I knew
There’d be days
Just like this
Yea I knew
There'd be days
Just like this
〈Chorus〉
I know you’re a danger, danger to me
Never met a stranger stranger than me
I know you’re a danger, danger to me
Never met a stranger stranger than me

Derek Pope - Biography

Derek Pope has travelled both the long and short road. Growing up in Oakland, California, Pope learned to produce beats in high school, spending his nights and weekends crafting the early roots of a sound he couldn’t define yet for years. It wasn’t until 2015 that Pope experimented with singing, and after a few demos proved that he would be creating his own lane, penning the lyrics:

“Looking at the ceiling, thinking I could make a million”

Those words became the intro to “Raincoats,” the first hit single off Pope’s debut EP, Sunken City Redux. With a sonic background that takes influences from indie rock, pop, and trap, Pope combines his self-produced bangers with unique, introspective lyrics to create an evolving soundscape that challenges the boundaries of music as we know it.
