Overall Meaning

Brad Fillatre's song "Strangers" is a poignant composition that delves into the idea of two people who were once in a loving relationship that has now inevitably turned to strangers. The song reflects upon the deep emotions of the singer who is trying to come to terms with the fact that they no longer feel connected to their former partner. The lyrics of the song reflect that the singer is dealing with a sense of confusion and loss while trying to understand how they could let go of something that meant so much to them.


The opening lines speak of the confusion the singer feels as they wonder, "What if I don't know how to love yet, What if it's all just in my head." These lines reflect on the idea that love is something that the singer is still trying to figure out and that perhaps their understanding of love was not enough to hold onto the relationship. The song describes how the singer is struggling to move on while looking at their partner, who is now a stranger, and trying to reconcile the feelings of being in love with them, but knowing that they are no longer in a relationship.


Overall, the song's theme speaks to the universality of love, relationships, and heartbreak. The lyrics describe how two people who were once deeply connected can end up being strangers, and they are learning to deal with the intense emotions that follow. The chorus of the song expresses that the singer and their former partner can never be changed by anyone and that they have become strangers without any hope of reconciliation.
