Stranger things
We're like, like we're stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are

We'd used to run around this ghost town
Always thinking out loud
Are we gonna get out
I remember
We dream of places that we could go
Castles with the strange glow
People that we don't know
I remember

We left a life
That's ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Like I'm picturing now

Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in a foreign state
Tell me someday we'll get there
Someday
Someday
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

I see a Technicolor shadow
Underneath your window
Just in case you don't know
I can see it
You cast an unfamiliar day glow
Different than what I know
Shining like a halo
I can feel it

We turned our back on ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Show me the sky falling down

Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in an ancient place
Tell me someday we'll get together
Someday
Someday
Ay, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

A stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are

A stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are

A stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are

A stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are

Line by Line Meaning

Stranger things
The unusual and unexpected events in our life


We're like, like we're stranger things (very far)
We are similar to these unpredictable occurrences, very different from the norm


We're stranger things (dream of places at)
We are the anomalies that aspire for something beyond the ordinary


'Cause that's just who we are
Our inherent nature is to seek and experience the extraordinary


We'd used to run around this ghost town
We roam around aimlessly in the desolate landscape of our past


Always thinking out loud
Expressing our thoughts and ideas without restraint


Are we gonna get out
Questioning if we will ever escape from our mundane lives


I remember
Recalling the memories of our past struggles and aspirations


We dream of places that we could go
Our imaginations take us to places yet to be explored


Castles with the strange glow
Palaces with an uncanny and peculiar radiance


People that we don't know
Interacting with strangers in unknown territories


We left a life
Abandoning our boring, ordinary existence


That's ordinary from the start
Our standard way of living, unremarkable from its inception


We looked for stranger things
We sought out the unfamiliar and extraordinary


Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Discovering the boundary of something aesthetically pleasing and uproarious


Castles glitter under Spanish skies
Majestic fortresses shining in the starry Spanish night


But I'm just looking out for you tonight
I am searching for and watching over you in the present


Snow white mountains in a foreign state
Dazzling white peaks in an unfamiliar region


Tell me someday we'll get there
Confessing a desire to eventually reach that destination


Ooh-ooh
Vocalization in harmony with the music


I see a Technicolor shadow
Observing a vividly colorful silhouette


Underneath your window
Beneath the window where you are present


Just in case you don't know
Informing you of something you may not be aware of


You cast an unfamiliar day glow
You emit an uncommon, bright light during the day


Different than what I know
Unfamiliar and unique compared to my experiences


Shining like a halo
Glowing like a radiant, angelic circle above your head


We turned our back on ordinary from the start
Rejecting the normal way of life since the beginning


Show me the sky falling down
Desiring to witness an incredible, awe-inspiring event


Ay, ooh ooh
Exclamations in harmony with the music

Idk why but this song makes me driven to have those 3am night drives, pool runs, club nights, 5am hikes, bon fires and sunsets. It makes me feel to chase adventure and it feels magical.
