Strangers
Myon Shane 54 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing by out on the street
Memories are fading though
It's only been a week
All the little things are gone
The things we used to be
Nobody could take us down
There was only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, whoa
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
It's you, you, you
It's you, whoa
Don't want to be a stranger
Want to be the one you need
I can be your world, your life
Your lover, all for free
All the little things come back
The things we used to be
Nobody can take us down there
It's only you and me
And without you I can't be
You're the universe to me
You're the air in my lungs
You're the fields where I run
You're the sky where I'm floating
The lyrics to "Strangers" by Myon & Shane 54 describe a relationship that is fading away. The singer is expressing their sadness over how quickly memories can fade, even though it's only been a week since they were with their partner. They remember all the little things that they used to do together, but those things are gone now. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that nobody could take them down when they were together. They were a strong team - just the two of them against the world.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "And without you I can't be / You're the universe to me / You're the air in my lungs / You're the fields where I run / You're the sky where I'm floating." These lines emphasize just how important the singer's partner is to them - they are everything, and without them, they feel like they can't exist. The singer wants to be more than just strangers passing each other by on the street. They want to be the one that their partner needs, and they are willing to be their lover and their world for free.
Overall, the lyrics to "Strangers" are a poignant reminder of how quickly things can change in a relationship. Even though the singer wants things to go back to the way they were, they know that they can't do it alone - they need their partner to make it work.
