Strangers
2. Seven Lions & Myon & Shane 54 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing by out on the street
Memories are fading though
It's only been a week
All the little things are gone
The things we used to be
Nobody could take us down
There was only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, whoa
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, whoa
Don't want to be a stranger
Want to be the one you need
I can be your world, your life
Your lover, all for free
All the little things come back
The things we used to be
Nobody can take us down there
It's only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
The lyrics of Strangers capture the wistful musings of someone who was once in a deeply intimate relationship which has now ended. The singer is disillusioned by the coldness of reality with only the memories of the relationship still clinging to them. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges how they are nothing more than strangers now, though only recently they were together. They lament the fact that even their cherished memories are starting to fade away. They remember how they used to be each other's everything and nothing could stand in their way, but now they have been reduced to strangers in the street.
In the chorus, the singer speaks directly to their lost love, declaring that they are the universe to them, the air in their lungs, the fields they run in, and the very sky that they float in. They emphasize that without their love, they cannot be complete. In the second verse, the singer is saying that they don't want to be strangers anymore, but instead they want to be the one their love needs. They offer themselves as a world, a life, and a lover, all for free. They hope to relive the same experiences and moments they previously shared together, aware that nobody else can take them down this special road again except for them.
Overall, the lyrics paint a heartbreaking picture of nostalgia and loss, and the stark realization that once upon a time, they were each other's whole world.

Nothing more than strangers
We are two people who do not know each other at all
Passing by out on the street
We saw each other while we were walking on the road
Memories are fading though
Although not much time has passed, our memories are starting to fade
It's only been a week
We haven't known each other for long, only one week
All the little things are gone
All the small details that we shared are now disappearing
The things we used to be
Our previous selves, when we were together, are no longer present
Nobody could take us down
No one had the power to bring us down when we were together
There was only you and me
When we were together, there was only the two of us
And without you I can't be
I am incomplete without you
You're the universe to me
You are my world, my everything
You're the air in my lungs
You are the reason I breathe, the necessity of my existence
You're the fields where I run
You are the freedom that I need, the open space where I can be myself
You're the sky where I'm floating
You are the endless possibility, the limitlessness that I crave
It's you, you, you
You are the only one that matters, the only one I need
It's you, whoa
It's all about you, one hundred percent
Don't want to be a stranger
I do not want to be unknown to you
Want to be the one you need
I want to be the person that you cannot live without
I can be your world, your life
I can give you everything, be everything to you
Your lover, all for free
I am willing to do all of this for you, without asking for anything in return
All the little things come back
The small details that we shared are returning to us
The things we used to be
Our previous selves, when we were together, are coming back to us
Nobody can take us down there
No one can ever bring us down when we are together
It's only you and me
When we are together, no one else matters
