Better Strangers
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is open wide, with no love to show
I know I got high but you didn't have to leave me so
Brother had beat me blue, sister bled me dry
It's why I count on you, but you don't treat me right
I know I held tight but you didn't have to leave me so
I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow
Cross my heavy heart, you won't be replaced
I can't fill the void, walk the other space
So remember my face every time you left feeling so
Hollow, hollow
I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow
There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low
My heart is open wide, with no love to show
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you
I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow
Hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow
Hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow
Hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow
Hollow, hollow, hollow
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you
The lyrics to Royal Blood's "Better Strangers" describe a failed relationship, with the singer feeling hollow and empty after their significant other left them. The first verse implies some sort of substance abuse that drove the partner away, leading the singer to feel like there's nothing left inside of them. They recognize that they didn't take care of themselves, but they feel like their partner didn't have to leave them in such an empty state. The second verse suggests that the singer relied on their partner as a source of emotional support, but lament that that support wasn't reciprocal. Despite being mistreated, they held on to the relationship, but again feel like their partner didn't have to leave them behind.
The chorus reaffirms the singer's independence, stating that they don't need their ex-partner's company and can survive "alone in the valley so hollow." The repetition of the word hollow in the chorus underscores the singer's pain and emptiness. The bridge declares that the singer's heart won't be healed or filled by anyone else, admitting that their partner left a void that can never be replaced. The final line is a declaration of independence, recognizing that they're better off being a "thousand miles from danger" if they can make a stranger out of their clingy ex-partner.
Overall, the lyrics express feelings of abandonment and hurt following a break-up, with a sense of both personal responsibility and disappointment at how the partner treated them. The singer wants to move forward and find a better life, but they can't help but feel hollow and empty at the end of the day.

how can I forget the lyrics for a song that hits home way too hard?
There's nothing left inside. I've found a whole new low.
My heart is open wide, with no love to show.
I know I got high, but you didn't have to leave me so-...
Brother beat me blue, Sister bled me dry.
That's why I count on you, when you don't treat me right.
I know I held tight but you didn't have to leave so-
Hollow, hollow.
I don't need you tonight so don't,
Follow, follow.
Left alone in the valley so,
Hollow, hollow.
I know you wanna be mine, so don't
Follow, follow.
Lost my heavy heart, it won't be replaced.
I can't fill the void, walk the empty space.
So remember my face- everytime you are left feeling so-
Hollow, hollow.
I don't need you tonight so don't,
Follow, follow.
Left alone in the valley so,
Hollow, hollow.
I know you wanna be mine, so don't
Follow, follow.
There's nothing left inside.
I found a whole new low.
My heart is open wide.
With no love to show.
'Cause I'm a thousand miles of danger if I make a better stranger-
A thousand miles of danger if I make a better stranger-
Thousand miles of danger if I make a better stranger of you.
I don't need you tonight, so don't-
Follow, follow.
Left alone in the valley, so
Hollow, hollow.
I know you wanna be mine, so don't
Follow, follow-
Yeah.
Hollow (x15 lol)

Typhoons is great, but the entire first album is a masterpiece.
@gabrieladdison
Honestly in my Personal opinion all their albums are masterpieces no eh/bad songs 😁🤘 don’t come at me that’s just my personal opinion 😂
@Redman2910
First album still slaps the hardest
@agusdiaz_13
@@gabrieladdison they are, but the first one is completely raw and doesn't have as much production as the latest one. That's why it's my favourite
@DavieMahon
Well than I shall listen
@agusdiaz_13
@@DavieMahon Out of the Black is my favourite one I think, but Figure It Out and Come On Over aren't far away

This song is a good example of a song that you can listen over and over again, just like their album
@archieprentice918
in the past I listened to these song obsessively. I'm slightly more relaxed about my listening these day. But, ultimately, I completely agree
@meehrbluee6609
I listen my whole life to hiphop. But this ... this insane. The first rock that i feel. The other tracks from this band too. So much fire
Respect from a “hiphop-head“. Cant understand why this band dont popping off in his genre.
