Stranger %01 Lover
Ibeyi Lyrics

In the song "Stranger Lover" by Ibeyi, the lyrics are expressive of the desire to end a fight between two people. The opening lines "No one is wrong or right, I want to end our fight" set the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer insists that love is not what has failed and that the relationship is worth saving. The lyrics speak to the struggle of holding onto a relationship that has been damaged but insists that it's worth fighting for. The line "For the older games we played, we have already paid" suggests that past mistakes and misunderstandings have already cost them and they want to move on from them.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "Stranger lover, this day will be our last" several times. It's unclear whether this is meant as a plea for the relationship to last or a warning that it's coming to an end. The repeated line "Come heal in my arms" suggests that the singer is hopeful that things can be resolved despite the current state of the relationship. The song ends with the line "This day, this day," which could be interpreted as the start of a new beginning or a final goodbye.
