Strangers
Gung Ho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing by out on the street
Memories are fading though
It's only been a week
All the little things are gone
The things we used to be
Nobody could take us down
There was only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, woah
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, woah
Don't want to be a stranger
Want to be the one you need
I can be your world, your life
Your lover, all for free
All the little things come on my back
The things we used to be
Nobody can take us down there
It's only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky whore I'm floating
The song "Strangers" by Gung Ho is about two people who were once very close, but are now just strangers passing by each other on the street. Despite only being apart for a week, memories are already fading and all the little things that used to define their relationship are gone. The singer is lost without the other person, as they were their entire universe - the air in their lungs, the fields where they used to run, and the sky in which they used to float. The singer wants to be more than just a stranger to the other person and offers to be everything they need, including their world, their life, and their lover. The song ends on the note that the bond between the two people cannot be taken down by anyone else - it's only them.
Overall, the song is about the pain and loss that comes from a relationship ending and the desire to reconnect with that person. The lyrics use powerful metaphors to describe how important the other person is to the singer, with the line "you're the universe to me" being particularly emotive. The soft and dreamy melody matches the wistful lyrics and creates a haunting atmosphere.
