Strangers
Estranged Echoes: Navigating Regret and Redemption in Nikki Nicole's 'Strangers'
Lyrics
Why'd I open up my mouth
Expressing regret or frustration for speaking out.
Now I'm always looking down
Feeling down or ashamed as a result of previous actions.
To avoid what's all around me I can't take
Avoiding the challenges or issues surrounding the current situation.
Exactly what I'm feeling now
Struggling to articulate or understand personal emotions.
So I'm tryna figure out
Attempting to comprehend and deal with emotions.
How to close my eyes and not see your face
Desiring to avoid memories or thoughts associated with a specific person.
No no no no no if I could do it again
Expressing a desire for a different outcome in the past.
I wouldn't be your friend cause you lead to trouble
Regretting the choice of friendship due to its negative consequences.
No no no no no I won't do it again
Committing to avoiding a similar mistake in the future.
Cause I see how it ends
Recognizing the negative consequences of the friendship.
Blew up like a bubble
Comparing the relationship's end to a burst bubble, implying fragility.
I wish we were strangers (strangers)
Expressing a wish for unfamiliarity with the person.
Prevent all the danger (danger)
Desiring to avoid potential harm or negative consequences.
I wish we were strangers (strangers)
Reiterating the desire for a lack of familiarity with the individual.
Prevent all the danger (danger)
Emphasizing the wish to avoid danger or harm.
If I could only pass you by
Expressing a desire to pass by the person without emotional recognition.
Look you straight into the eye
Wishing to maintain eye contact without emotional recognition.
And not recognize a single thing not a trace
Acknowledging the persistence of shared history despite a desire for change.
But our history remains it's not a thing that we can change
Highlighting the inability to alter the shared history.
Guess we couldn't stand the rain
Referencing challenges faced in the relationship, possibly metaphorical rain.
No no no no no if I could do it again
Reiterating the desire for a different past outcome.
I wouldn't be your friend cause you lead to trouble
Reflecting on the negative consequences of the friendship.
No no no no no I won't do it again
Committing to avoiding a repeat of the negative experience.
Cause I see how it ends
Acknowledging the foreseeable end of the relationship.
Blew up like a bubble
Comparing the relationship's end to a burst bubble, reiterating its fragility.
(x2) I wish we were strangers (strangers)
Repetition of the wish for unfamiliarity and avoidance of danger.
Prevent all the danger (danger)
Reiterating the desire to prevent harm or negative consequences.
I wish we were strangers (strangers)
Further repetition of the wish for a lack of familiarity.
Prevent all the danger (danger)
Emphasizing the desire to prevent danger or harm through unfamiliarity.
