Stranger
Beborn Beton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many different faces, many bodies walking by
Beautiful and smooth and so young when they die
Soon they will be forgotten and won't ever be seen again
Sometimes you keep them in your mind

Some may be appealing and some other may be not
There are so many they vary from unacceptable to hot
You'll never get to know them, you never will recall their names
You call it sad, but you don't mind

Some are straight and settled in the daylight
Smear face when the rain pours down
I remember the words of the stranger:
Live fast and you die with a sound

So that's the story that's the way it has to be
Unless you change your fulsome attitude
release your vanity
For we are only mortal
and on the day the curtain falls
You'll see me laughing all the time

Some are straight and settled in the daylight
Smear face when the rain pours down




I remember the words of the stranger:
Live fast and you die with a sound

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Beborn Beton's song "Stranger" describe the fleeting nature of human life and the realization that we are all mortal. The first stanza sets the scene of a bustling city street, with many different people passing by. The singer notes that some of them are beautiful and young, but will soon be forgotten. Despite this, the singer also acknowledges that sometimes we keep these fleeting memories in our minds.


The second stanza delves deeper into the idea of judgement and superficiality when it comes to our interactions with others. The singer notes that some people may be appealing or unappealing, but ultimately we do not get to know them or recall their names. The line "you call it sad, but you don't mind" speaks to the apathy towards these brief encounters and the societal pressure to constantly move forward.


The third stanza introduces a stranger who advises to "live fast and you die with a sound." This line can be interpreted as a call to live life to the fullest and make the most of the time we have. The final stanza reflects on the inevitability of mortality and the futility of vanity. The singer acknowledges that when the curtains fall, they will be laughing all the time - perhaps in the face of death or in the knowledge that they lived to the fullest.
