The Loner
The Loner: Unseen Dangers and Pleaded Secrets
Lyrics
He's a perfect stranger
He is a complete stranger
Like a cross of himself and a fox
He embodies a mixture of himself and a fox, suggesting a cunning and mysterious nature
He's a feeling arranger
He is skilled at arranging and manipulating feelings
And a changer of the ways he talks
He can change the ways he communicates
He's the unforeseen danger
He represents an unexpected and unseen danger
The keeper of the key to the locks
He holds the key to locks, metaphorically having control or power
Know when you see him nothing can free him
Observing him, one realizes that nothing can liberate or free him
Step aside, open wide it's the loner
Move away and make room, as he is the loner
If you see him in the subway
If encountered in the subway
He'll be down at the end of the car
He'll be at the far end of the train carriage
Watching you move
Observing your actions
Until he knows, he knows who you are
Until he identifies who you truly are
When you get off at your station alone
When you depart at your destination alone
He'll know that you are
He'll recognize your solitude
Know when you see him nothing can free him
Just as before, nothing can set him free
Step aside, open wide it's the loner
Make way, for he is the loner
There was a woman he knew
Refers to a woman he knew some time ago
About a year or so ago
She possessed something vital to him
She had something that he needed
He pleaded with her not to leave
And he pleaded with her not to go
Indicating a deep emotional need
On the day that she left
On the day of her departure
He died, but it did not show
He figuratively died, but this wasn't evident externally
Know when you see him nothing can free him
Once again, encountering him means realizing his inability to be liberated
Step aside, open wide it's the loner
Make way, for he remains the loner
