Little Stranger
Dawid Podsiadło Lyrics

Hey there little stranger
Addressing someone unknown and asking for their attention.

There're questions I need to ask
Acknowledging a need to ask some specific questions.

How do you say "I'm sorry"
Requesting the proper way of apologizing from someone.

How can you earn back somebody's trust
Asking for ways to regain someone's trust after losing it.

You must think I'm crazy but I get it that it's hard
Acknowledging the difficulty of apologizing and earning back trust.

You see there's a person I've really hurt
Explaining the reason for the previous questions and difficulties.

Hey there little stranger
Reiterating the unknown addressee and their importance in this moment.

You're right I don't even know your name
Acknowledging the anonymity of the person being addressed.

Such a mysterious creature
Describing the person being addressed in a symbolic and wondrous way.

I've stumbled upon my way
Revealing a chance encounter or mistake in the artist's journey.

What is the answer can you tell
Asking for an answer to a specific question not stated explicitly.

I swear I feel like I've never felt
Expressing a heightened emotion or sensation.

I look around and there's no one here
Noticing a lack of support or companionship.

Don't tell me you're just another one of my dreams
Doubting the reality of the current situation or interaction.

The walls are crushing the windows open and I fall
Using metaphors to express the overwhelming sense of guilt or punishment.

Flying through all the mistakes I have done
Continuing the metaphor and dwelling on the past mistakes.

I see it clearly all of the disappointed faces
Realizing the negative consequences of past actions on others.

I see the damage I've caused in their own spaces
Realizing the extent of the harm caused in various aspects of people's lives.

I was a liar I was not worth of being trusted
Admitting to past wrongdoings and character flaws.

I was a mugger, like of this peoplestole their hearts and
Using a metaphor to describe the deceitful behavior towards others and the damage caused.

Now I know that's why I am alone
Linking the past actions to current feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Hey little stranger thank God you're finally home
Expressing thanks to the person being addressed for their presence and wisdom.

I think you've got me in a place you wanted to
Realizing the addressee's role in teaching a lesson or guiding towards understanding.

You were meeting me I was not meeting you
Acknowledging that the encounter was not a coincidence, but rather orchestrated by the unknown person.

It's time to end only one thing left for me
Accepting the need for change and a single clear path towards that change.

I need to wake up from my flawless dream
Using metaphors to express the realization of previously held false beliefs and a need to face harsh realities.

Hey little stranger
Concluding the song by addressing the unknown person one last time.

I think I get it now
Expressing a newfound understanding and insight towards past mistakes and present lessons learned.
