Stranger
Killagraham/Sam Dew/Skrillex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger (Become a stranger)
I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
(You'll become a stranger)
I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
(You'll become a stranger)
Here in the dark I can see where you are
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay (Stranger)
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger (Become a stranger)
The lyrics of “Stranger” by Killagraham/Sam Dew/Skrillex depict the singer's feelings after a breakup. The dark atmosphere of the song amplifies the somber and melancholy mood of the narrative. The opening lines reveal that the singer is in a dark place and can still see where their former partner is. Despite their physical absence, the singer can still feel their presence around them. The beat of their heart coincides with their former partner's presence, which is an indication of how much they still affect the singer even though they're no longer together.
The singer thanks their former partner for the love they gave but then admits that they took it all away. After the breakup, the pain they had been feeling is gone, and they see everything to gain in their current state of feeling lost. They have accepted the breakup as a way to move on from the past and start anew.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer has reached a point where they can embrace their newfound freedom, even if it means being in hell. The line, “There's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain,” can be interpreted as the singer's way of accepting the challenges that come with being in their new life. They acknowledge that they have to let go of their former partner and forget their name, which is one of the ways they can embrace their new life as a stranger in this new world.

Here in the dark I can see where you are
Even in tough times, I still see right through you
I see so clearly
No matter what, I always have a clear vision of who you are
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
My heart races uncontrollably whenever I'm near you
Whenever you're near me
Your presence has a huge impact on me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
I appreciate the love I shared with you
Came and you took it all away
But now, it feels like you took everything away from me
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Luckily, I'm pain-free and there's plenty of opportunities ahead
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay
I might be lost, but I think I'll stick around
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
Here in this uncomfortable place, I can find peace and feel no pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
By staying here in this terrible place, you'll soon be nothing more than a stranger to me
I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
I'll eventually forget who you are and start treating you like a stranger
(You'll become a stranger)
(You'll become a stranger)

Here in the dark I can see where you are
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here

In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
Aquí en la oscuridad puedo ver dónde estás
Veo tan claramente
El latido de mi corazón se detiene y arranca
Cada vez que estás cerca de mí
Sólo te doy gracias, todo el amor que te di
Llegó y te lo llevaste todo
Y ahora no hay dolor, hay mucho que ganar aquí
Ahora que estoy perdido creo que me quedaré
En el infierno, hay comodidad en estas llamas y no siento el dolor
En el infierno, olvidaré tu nombre, te convertirás en un extraño

I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay

In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger

Here in the dark I can see where you are
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay
And hell, there's comfort in this fame, see I don't feel the pain
And hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
Here in the dark I can see where you are
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay
And hell, there's comfort in this fame, see I don't feel the pain
And hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
