The Stranger
Ephemeral Journeys: Unraveling the Mysterious Tale of 'The Stranger'
Lyrics
Have a taste of fire and menace, next we know
Experiencing something intense and threatening suddenly
Staring out in the night as it sinks down, down, down
Gazing into the night as it descends rapidly
Shadows dance in all directions, black stars rise
Various unknown movements of darkness, emergence of ominous signs
Stare with silence expectations gone
Observing without any expected response or communication
I've seen that face before tonight
Recognizing a familiar face from earlier
The song has gone unsung (even as you're listening)
An unsung story or experience, unnoticed while happening
Send me home undone (waiting for the promise of life)
Feeling incomplete or unresolved, anticipating something unfulfilled
Free my mind tonight (tired from the length of this ride)
Desiring mental freedom after enduring a lengthy journey
A stranger on the tides (finds himself alone in the night)
A stranger feeling lost and isolated amidst changing circumstances
It was all the same, every time
A repetitive, unchanging situation experienced each time
Every memory locked and spun around
Every memory revisited and trapped in a cycle
Forced my eyes open and I saw it all
Forced to confront and witness everything as it is
Open up to endless space and time
Opening oneself to boundless dimensions of existence
Never want to see what was inside
Resisting seeing the inner truths or realities
A stranger comes tonight (longing to find his way)
An unfamiliar person seeking direction and connection
To circle through the skies (blinding by the light of the day)
To move in cycles, influenced by the overwhelming light of day
Free my soul this time (lonesome from this ride)
Seeking emotional liberation from the weariness of the journey
Strange moons arise (nothing left to see or to hide)
New and peculiar aspects emerging, nothing left concealed
The song has gone unsung (even as you're listening)
An untold narrative or experience even though someone is present
Send me home undone (waiting for the promise of life)
Awaiting completion or closure, yearning for promised fulfillment
You've got to free my mind tonight (tired from the length of this ride)
Yearning for mental liberation due to exhaustion from a prolonged journey
A strange moon will rise (red and yellow eyes)
A peculiar, possibly foreboding celestial event
A stranger comes tonight (long, long time)
A stranger arriving after a considerable duration
To circle through the skies (endless space and time)
To revolve through vast expanses of existence
The king will die unfounded (mystery of the time)
An uncertain end for a significant figure, a mystery in time
And time will be rewound (finds himself free from this life)
Time resetting or revisiting, finding freedom from current existence
