Taken by a Stranger
Lena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He knows her
Cat call
Can't escape from telling lies
I heard her sayin'
Hey, mind if I take this chair?
Hey, mind if I take this chair?
He drops a pause
She looks annoyed
But she's so mean
He thinks she has to be the one
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger
Trip me up and spin me round again
You've got some coffee on your collar
And you forgot to comb your hair
But I can't wait 'til I do better
You're here
And I don't care
Can't help it if you like it, 'cause I won't be here tomorrow.
No one ever told you that you wouldn't be rejected.
Taken by a stranger;
Stranger things are starting to begin.
Lured into the danger (is a risky business!)
Trip me up and spin me round again.
Da, da, da-da, doo-doo-doo
Da, da, da-da, doo-doo-doo
Oh,oh, oh, oh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Put the blindfold on his eyes
She saw him peek through
Can't imagine her disguise
I heard her sayin'
Hey, mind if I take this chair?
Yeah, see if I care
Taken by a stranger
Stranger things are starting to begin
Lured into the danger (is a risky business)
Trip me up and spin me round again

The opening lines of the song, "She's got knuckle in her eye, He knows her, Cat call, Can't escape from telling lies, I heard her sayin," describe the singer's first impression of the woman. The woman appears to be rough around the edges and is possibly familiar with the stranger. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the woman is drawn to danger, hence the line "Lured into the danger, Trip me up and spin me round again."
The line "You've got some coffee on your collar, And you forgot to comb your hair," suggests that the stranger is not physically perfect, but the woman is still drawn to him.
