Perfect Strangers
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold, cold spirit's of ice all my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
And laughing as the spirit's appear
All your life shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand we must remain
Perfect strangers
I know I must remain inside
This silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand we must remain
Perfect strangers
The lyrics to Jorn's song "Perfect Strangers" speak to an unknown person who the singer has a deep connection with. The opening lines start with the question "Can you remember, remember my name?" indicating that the singer has known this person for a long time, but there is a fear that they may not recall who he is. The following line "As I flow through your life, a thousand oceans I have flown," suggests that the singer has been a consistent presence in this person's life, experiencing all of the ups and downs along the way. However, despite this familiarity, there still remains a sense of distance between them, with the mention of "cold spirits of ice" conveying the idea that there has been a certain level of detachment between them.
The next few lines of the song seem to be the singer reminiscing about their shared past. He speaks of being an "echo of your past," and that he is "returning the echo of a point in time," indicating that he is reflecting on a specific event or moment in their history. The mention of "distant faces shine" and "a thousand warriors I have known" suggests that they may have experienced something quite significant together, possibly a battle or intense moment of emotion. The singer conveys a sense of happiness and contentment at the memory, laughing as the "spirits appear." However, he also acknowledges that these memories are "shadows of another day," indicating that they are simply echoes of the past and cannot be relived.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, speaking directly to himself. He states that "I know, I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow," suggesting that he is going through a difficult time and must keep his pain to himself. The following lines convey a sense of melancholy, with the "strand of silver hanging through the sky" indicating a sense of loneliness, and "your tears are lost in falling rain" indicating that the pain he feels is overwhelming. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the idea that he and the unknown person he is singing to must remain "Perfect Strangers," suggesting that their unique connection can only be preserved through maintaining emotional distance.

Can you remember, remember my name?
Can you recollect my identity?
As I flow through your life
As I pass by your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
I've sailed across countless seas
And cold spirits of ice
And numbing spirits of chill
All my life I am the echo of your past (echo of your past)
All my existence, I am a reflection of your former life (reflection of your past)
I am returning the echo of a point in time
I am replaying a moment in history
Distant faces shine
Far-off faces radiate
A thousand warriors I have known
I've met numerous warriors
And laughing as the spirits appear
And laughing when the apparitions come forth
All your, all your life shadows of another day
Your entire life, is shadows of yesteryear
And if you hear me talking on the wind
And if you listen to me speaking carried by the wind
You've got to understand we must remain
You must comprehend that we have to continue as we are
Perfect strangers
Complete strangers
I know
I'm aware
I know, I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
I'm aware I need to stay in this quiet pit of sadness
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
A thread of silver suspending in the sky
Touching more than you see
Affecting more than what you observe
The voice of ages in your mind
The voice of time in your thoughts
Oh, is aching with the dead of the night
Oh, is soreness with the death of the night
Oh oh precious life
Oh oh, valuable life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
Your tears are gone in the rain falling
And if you hear me talking on the wind
And if you listen to me speaking carried by the wind
You've got to understand we must remain
You must comprehend that we have to continue as we are
Perfect strangers
Complete strangers
