Lyrics
Stranger
Expressing a feeling of being unfamiliar or distant
Stranger
Reiteration of the sense of being a stranger
Tell me, what do you see
Asking for the perspective or perception of the other person
When you close your eyes, what do you see
Questioning what is visualized when closing one's eyes
How could I ever choose someone else
Expressing difficulty in choosing someone else
You know would never forgive myself
Acknowledging the challenge of self-forgiveness
And I'll always remember the way I felt
Reflecting on a memorable emotional experience
How could I ever, how could I ever
Repetition of the internal struggle in making a choice
I've slept four thousand hours these nights
Highlighting a prolonged period of sleeplessness
And every dream I fight, can never get it right
Struggling in dreams without achieving the desired outcome
I've said four thousand words since then
Quantifying words spoken, suggesting an effort to communicate
And only one word lives, behind my sewn shut lips
Emphasizing a significant, unspoken word or emotion
And I know my reflection is getting lonely
Noticing the isolation or loneliness in one's reflection
Cause no-one told me to warn myself
Regret for not being warned or guided
How could I ever choose someone else
Reiteration of the difficulty in choosing another person
You know would never forgive myself
Re-emphasizing the challenge of self-forgiveness
And I'll always remember the way I felt
Recalling a lasting emotional impact
How could I ever, how could I ever
Repeating the internal conflict in decision-making
And I never want anything else
Expressing contentment and lack of desire for anything else
Don't want a new sweatshirt, I don't wanna go out
Rejecting external experiences or distractions
Somebody save me from this haunted hell
Seeking salvation from a distressing situation
Don't need you to blame me, I do that so well
Accepting responsibility for self-blame
But how could I ever choose someone else
Reiterating the challenge of choosing another person
You know would never forgive myself
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of self-forgiveness
And I'll always remember the way I felt
Remembering the enduring emotional impact
How could I ever, how could I ever
Repeating the internal struggle in decision-making
Love someone else
Stating a commitment to love only one person
