Alicia and the Silver Stranger
Alicia's Struggle: A Tale of Emotional Disconnect
Lyrics
Across the room I hear them talk, I watch them touch
Observing people across the room talking and touching.
and both of them seem so lost
Both individuals appear lost or confused.
She's known as Alicia she's from around and she's watching
Introduction of a character named Alicia who is present and observing.
she's watching him with empty eyes and he seems so cold
Alicia is watching a man with empty eyes who seems cold.
Like some kind of stranger
Describing the man as a stranger.
Like some kind of stranger

And his heart is not a heart it's something else
The man's heart is portrayed as something other than a heart.
He's cut from a comic book and he cannot feel

He's some kind of stranger
Emphasizing that the man is a type of stranger.

She looks so good when she tells him ""No""
Alicia looks good when rejecting the man ("No") and walking away.
and then she just walks away

She looks so familiar when she's upset

and still I can hear her say, I'll walk away

I'II walk away from everything that's you

When she walks across the room I understand
Observation that Alicia, despite walking across the room, cannot see.
that this girl she can not see
Highlighting Alicia's inability to see, but she has insight.
But even though she is blind she can see,
Even though blind, Alicia can see through the man named Silver.
see through this man called Silver
Portraying Silver as a fearful or intimidated character.
and he seems afraid...
Reiteration of Silver as a kind of stranger.
Like some kind of stranger
