Strangers
Maguire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh if only you knew
The power that you hold
To get under my skin and take control
Strangers, just strangers
How strange this
I dream up who you are
A version that suits me well
My saviour from myself
Dreamers, just dreamers
Did I dream this
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Do you feel the same
Or have I gone insane
I've pinned all my hopes on you
Without knowing you and that's the truth
Strangers, just strangers
How strange this
Dreamers, just dreamers
Did I dream this
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
In Maguire's song "Strangers," the lyrics convey the singer's fixation on a person whom they do not know. The song's main theme is the power that this stranger has over the singer's thoughts and emotions. The singer admits to imagining a version of the stranger that fits with their own desires and aspirations, creating an idealized image of someone they have never met. The lyrics express the uncertainty and confusion that comes with this kind of infatuation, questioning whether or not the feelings are reciprocated, or if they are completely imagined.
The chorus of "Strangers" repeats "strangers, just strangers, how strange this" and "dreamers, just dreamers, did I dream this," emphasizing the distance and disconnect between the singer and the object of their fixation. The repeated line "It's all in my head" further highlights the internal nature of the singer's feelings, emphasizing the idea that this is a fantasy rather than a reality.
Overall, "Strangers" is a poignant and introspective take on the experience of longing for someone who is not a part of your life. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and uncertainty, while the melody and instrumentation complement the wistful tone of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
I fixate on you
I am unable to stop thinking about you constantly
Oh if only you knew
If only you knew the impact you have on me, my thoughts and feelings
The power that you hold
Your influence over me is strong and impactful
To get under my skin and take control
You have the ability to affect me on a deep level and take hold of my emotions
Strangers, just strangers
We are merely strangers with no real connection
How strange this
This feeling of fixation and attraction despite being strangers is odd and unusual
Gazing from afar
I observe you from a distance
I dream up who you are
I imagine and fantasize about your personality and character
A version that suits me well
I envision you as someone who is perfect for me
My saviour from myself
In my mind, you are my escape from my own problems and inner turmoil
Dreamers, just dreamers
We are both just people lost in our own dreams and fantasies
Did I dream this
I question if what I am feeling is just a figment of my imagination
It's all in my head
All of these thoughts and feelings are just my own mental constructions
Do you feel the same
I wonder if you feel the same way about me
Or have I gone insane
I fear that I might be losing my sanity because of my obsessive thoughts
I've pinned all my hopes on you
I have placed all of my expectations and desires on you
Without knowing you and that's the truth
I recognize that I know very little about you and our connection is one-sided

This dude here is the only person on omegle–youtubes with a fresh concept, spreading positivity not by jumpscare or hacking, but by cheering strangers. Keep it up bro.
