Stranger
Natalia Lesz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying here again
I am not really here
Just body and skin
Starting to undress
Not even a kiss
Never thought that I
Would be a girl like this
I am not happy
I am scared to be alone
Stranger by my side
I only wake up cold
Wrong place
Wrong one
Wrong face
Wrong time
One day I'll be
Good to me
I am not ashamed
Don't put it in my head
I know I am too good
To be lying in this bed
Swallow bitterness
Choke on emptiness
I swear that it's the last time I'll be a girl like this
No more darkness
I'd rather be alone
Stranger by my side
I only wake up cold
Wrong place
Wrong one
Wrong face
Wrong time
You'll see I'll be
Good to me
I am better than you know
I am better than I know
No more darkness
I'd rather be alone
Stranger by my side
I only wake up cold
Wrong place
Wrong one
Wrong face
Wrong time
This place
Can't look
Your face
It's time
You'll see
I'll be
Good to me
The lyrics to Natalia Lesz's song Stranger express shame, regret, and a desire for self-improvement. The first verse describes the singer's physical presence, but emotionally she is absent. She experiences a hollow, unsatisfying intimate encounter, feeling like she is not herself, someone she doesn't want to be. The second verse reveals her fear of being alone, a greater anxiety than facing the temporary disappointment of bad sex. The chorus repeats the phrase "wrong place, wrong one, wrong face, wrong time" to emphasize the singer's feelings of being disconnected from herself, her surroundings, and her partner. She promises to be "good to me" in the future, embracing self-love and respect.
The song offers a powerful commentary on the consequences of ignoring one's true self and desires, and the importance of overcoming fears to become who we truly are. It speaks to the human experience of self-doubt, regret, and the struggle to find our place in the world. Lesz's vocals suit the song's tone and message, conveying raw emotion and vulnerability.
