A stranger
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are
A lonestar
I was a stranger
I was a lonely star
I was a stranger
I was a lonely star
A stonethrow away
Keep your ears close
To the ground all day
Obsessed with a grin
A grin of decay
So many faces
So many ways
Waiting for 26 years
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are
A stranger
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are
A lonestar
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are
A stranger
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are
A lonestar
I was a stranger
I was a lonely star
I was a stranger
I was a lonely star
A mind without home
A stonethrow away
Keep your ears close
To the ground all day
Obsessed with a grin
A grin of decay
So many faces
So many ways
Waiting for 26 years
Yeah you are/Yeah you are/Yeah you are

The song "Stranger" by Miles explores the themes of loneliness and isolation in a very poetic and poignant way. Miles talks about the experience of feeling like a stranger or a lonestar, using these metaphors to express the sense of not belonging or not having a home. He describes himself as a "mind without home" and "a stonethrow away," emphasizing the distance and the isolation he feels within himself and from the world around him.
The lyrics also suggest a certain level of ambiguity and uncertainty, with the singer being "obsessed with a grin of decay" and encountering "so many faces, so many ways." These lines can be interpreted in different ways, but they seem to express a certain sense of detachment or alienation from the world and the people in it. The repetition of the chorus, "yeah you are a stranger, yeah you are a lonestar," further emphasizes the feeling of being an outsider and adds a hypnotic quality to the song.
Overall, "Stranger" is a song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling alone or disconnected, and it does so in a very evocative and powerful manner. The haunting melody and the poetic lyrics create a sense of mood and atmosphere that touches the heart and stirs the imagination.
