Two Strangers
Echoes of Unspoken Emotions: Two Strangers by Lauren Kidd
Lyrics
Colour me melancholy
Expressing a feeling of sadness or pensiveness
Like the sweetest sound of the saddest song
Comparing the emotional impact to a melancholic song
My mood lives in minor key
Describing the emotional state using musical terminology
Ever since you moved on
Feeling down since the person moved on
I’ve been towing the lines of progress
Struggling to make progress in moving on
Its just been flirting with disaster
Engaging in risky behavior, possibly related to emotions
I could never
Unable to emotionally commit to someone new
Give my heart to someone
Expressing difficulty in giving one's heart to another
When my minds already made
Already decided in the mind not to move on
I tried to walk away
Attempting to break away from the past without success
Unsuccessfully
Unsuccessful attempt to move on
Give myself to someone new
Trying to start a new relationship
But you have whatever’s left of me
Acknowledging the lingering emotional connection to the past
So can we go back to my apartment
Suggesting a desire to return to a familiar place
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Reflecting on the beginning of the relationship
Two strangers who never saw this coming
Describing a surprising connection between two strangers
(Oh no)
Expressing surprise or disbelief
A twist of fate, out of all the chances
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to fate
We didn’t take, I found us dancing
Regret over not taking certain chances
In my living room, I think I knew you
Recalling a moment of realization in the living room
Before we ever even met
Suggesting a predestined connection
We were nothing but a seed
Describing the early stage of the relationship
Hidden between all the dirt and the weeds
Symbolizing growth hidden among challenges
Water me with your conversation
Desiring meaningful conversation
I feel a sense of familiarity
Feeling a sense of familiarity through communication
At the root of it all
Referring to the origin of the relationship
We bloomed into something beautiful
Blooming into something beautiful from a small beginning
I never stood as tall as I did
Highlighting personal growth with a partner
Until the moment you walked beside me and held my hand
Expressing emotional height with the partner's presence
Where did we go wrong?
Reflecting on a point of disagreement or separation
Did our foundations get poisoned by our pasts?
Questioning if past experiences affected the relationship
Now we’re just lingering ghosts
Feeling like lingering memories without progress
Sleeping in unmade beds
Describing a state of emotional detachment
So can we go back to my apartment
Revisiting a familiar place for emotional closure
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Recalling the starting point of the relationship
Two strangers who never saw this coming
Reflecting on the unexpected connection between strangers
(Oh no)
Expressing surprise or disbelief again
A twist of fate, out of all the chances
Regret over missed chances due to fate, reiterated
We didn’t take, I found us dancing
Remembering a moment of dancing together
In my living room, I think I knew you
Returning to the realization in the living room
Before we ever even met
Emphasizing a predestined connection once more
I think I knew you before we
Reiterating a sense of familiarity before the formal meeting
I think I knew you before we
Continuing the theme of recognizing the person before meeting
I think I knew you before we
Repeating the idea of prior recognition
So can we go back to my apartment
Desiring to return to the origin of the relationship
Hear my phone ring, where it all started
Recalling the starting point and the phone ringing
Two strangers who never saw this coming
Reflecting on the unexpected connection once again
