Strangers
G-Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"I'm disappointed in you"
When I look into your face
It takes everything in me not to
Turn into a puddle on the floor right where I'm standing
Nothing that comes out will be like anything I planned
And I've a feeling that you would deem me "much too demanding"
How am I supposed to be?
How am I supposed to be?
I'm moving through the day
Without glancing at you
There's a stranger in your place
And it's not someone that I want to
Turn into the arms of and it's such a lonely feeling
I just can't find comfort in something I don't believe in
Tension's filling up the room all the way to the ceiling
How am I supposed to be?
How am I supposed to be?
How am I supposed to be?
The sky is just a void with no light
A mother is just a woman without a child
Not knowing is the comfort of the fool
But I do
Is there no other way?
I don't think I can come through
I'm just running too late
No, there's no room for cheap excuses
Turn to face your backside in the door as you are leaving
Everything that ever made me feel safe was a dream
And now I'm waking up but I wish that I was still sleeping
How am I supposed to be?
How am I supposed to be?
How am I supposed to be?
The sky is just a void with no light
A mother is just a woman without a child
Not knowing is the comfort of the fool
But I do
The lyrics of G-Sisters' song "Strangers" seem to be about a lack of communication and the inability to express oneself through words. The first stanza exemplifies this idea with the line, "And yes I believe in what we had but words got in the way." The second stanza reinforces this message by stating that the singer has "heard a million conversations going where they've been before," indicating a repetitiveness and staleness in communication. The singer seems to express a frustration with the limitations of language and the power of physical touch and connection, stating that "knowing doesn't mean so much when placed against the feeling, the heat inside."
The bridge of the song takes a turn towards a more cynical perspective, with the singer acknowledging the cruelty and broken promises in the world. They reject the idea of being told anything and question the truth behind promises made to them. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the repetition of the lines "Come here I think you're beautiful / Some kind of angel come inside" suggesting a desire for a deeper, more meaningful connection beyond words.
Overall, the song seems to be about the ways in which language falls short and our yearning for a deeper connection beyond words.
Line by Line Meaning
And yes I believe in what we had but words got in the way
I still have faith in our relationship but we were not able to communicate effectively
And only yesterday, as I was leaving, Lord knows I've tried to say
The day before, when I was leaving, I attempted to express my thoughts and feelings
But I've heard a million conversations going where they've been before
I have listened to countless discussions that repeat the same old topics
Seen the way that careful lingers undecided at the door
I have observed how cautiousness can lead to uncertainty and reluctance
All my words are secondhand and useless in the face of this
My words seem unoriginal and ineffective compared to the situation at hand
Rationale and rhyme and reason, pale beside a single kiss
Even logical explanations and justification cannot compare to the intense feeling of a single kiss
And I've heard so many things, I fail to understand at all
I have been told many things but struggle to comprehend them
I'd settle anytime for unknown footsteps in the hall outside
I would be content with the mystery of not knowing who is walking outside my door
Because the world is cruel and promises are broken
Promises can easily be broken in a harsh, unforgiving world
Don't try to tell me anything, don't try to tell me
I don't want to hear anything more
You'll be true to me, you know the real truth is never spoken
Even if you promise to be loyal, the true intentions are never revealed through words alone
And memories may last for years but Names are just for souvenirs
Although memories can endure for a long time, names are merely reminders of past experiences
Some kind of angel, let me look into your eyes
I am searching for someone that feels like an angel, and I want to connect by looking into their eyes
Don't give me why's and wherefore's reason or surprise
I don't need an explanation or justification, and unexpected actions are unnecessary
I don't care for words that don't belong
I am not interested in words that are irrelevant or out of place
And I don't care what you're called, tell me later if at all
I do not care about your name, and would be fine with not knowing it
Come here I think you're beautiful, My door is open wide
I find you attractive and welcome you into my life
Some kind of angel come inside
I am waiting for someone that feels like an angel to enter my life
Some kind of stranger come inside
I am open to meeting someone new and potentially life-changing
I think you're beautiful
I find you physically appealing
