Strangers
Actors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where we collide
chasing shadows
that hide inside
a razor sharp
cut so fine
the growing chasm
of our divide
I would lie to you
to buy more time
I would die for you
to change your mind
when the night begins to fall
we're strangers after all
diamonds fall
from the sky
we search forever
and never find
I would lie to you
to buy more time
I would die for you
to change your mind
when the night begins to fall
we're strangers after all
The lyrics of Actors' song Strangers can be interpreted in several ways but at its core it speaks about two individuals who find themselves in a difficult situation. They are trapped in the "darkest rooms" where they often collide, chasing "shadows" that exist within themselves. The "razor sharp cut" that they experience could be a metaphor for the ways in which they hurt each other. There is a "growing chasm" between them, which is causing a divide. Despite this, one of them is willing to "lie" and "die" for the other, suggesting that there is an intense desire to keep the connection alive, perhaps out of fear of feeling completely alone.
Towards the end, the lyrics mention "diamonds" falling from the sky but the two protagonists are unable to find them despite searching endlessly. This could be interpreted as the hopelessness that they feel, despite wanting to reconcile. The phrase "when the night begins to fall we're strangers after all" implies that despite trying to hold on to their relationship, they are still struggling to connect on a deeper level as the dark and uncertain future looms ahead.
Overall, the song can be interpreted in multiple ways, but the lyrics speak to the human experience of trying to connect with others, and the ways we often end up hurting those closest to us.

It's rare that you find a band that just gets better, and better, and better with every album and every song they put out. Holy.

We used to listen to Actors together. It made me so happy that you got into one of my favorite bands and we could share their amazing music together. Now I listen to them alone. Tears in my eyes. Feeling pain. wondering if you are alone, listening to them too.
