Strangers
-----

We speak in silence
I never hear, I never hear enough
For now we're frozen
I am in love
And when our eyes meet
I always feel, I always feel too much
For now we're strangers
I'm so out of touch

We walked once around the earth
We're right back, right back at the start
For when holding on hurts worse
It's time to part

I cherish what's long been gone, it's gone
It's all inside my head
More than words it speaks to me
What needs to be said

It's never enough
It's never enough
Don't stay in place
Just write it off

If it would not hurt, it could not heal
Lovers will always look back




If it would not hurt, it could not heal
Our hearts stand still

Overall Meaning

The song "Strangers" by SPRING.FALL.SEA is a poignant and heartfelt ode to the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics speak of two people who are in love, but are also strangers to each other in many ways. They communicate in silence, and while they share moments of connection, they also feel out of touch and frozen in their emotions. The song seems to suggest that sometimes, despite the love between two people, it is necessary to part ways in order to heal and find closure.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as they describe the difficulty of truly hearing and understanding another person. The lines "We speak in silence / I never hear, I never hear enough" convey a sense of longing and frustration, as if the two people are unable to communicate the depth of their emotions to each other. This theme is echoed throughout the song, as the singer describes feeling too much and being out of touch with the other person.


Despite these challenges, there is still a sense of love and tenderness in the lyrics. The lines "I am in love / And when our eyes meet / I always feel, I always feel too much" suggest a deep emotional connection between the two people, even if they struggle to express it verbally. The reference to walking once around the earth and ending up back at the start suggests a cyclical nature to their relationship, as if they have been through this before and may continue to repeat the same patterns unless they make a change.


The chorus of the song is both haunting and reassuring, as it suggests that while letting go may be painful, it is also necessary for healing. The lines "If it would not hurt, it could not heal / Lovers will always look back / If it would not hurt, it could not heal / Our hearts stand still" express the idea that moving on from a relationship may be difficult, but it is also an important part of the healing process. The final lines of the song, "Our hearts stand still," suggest a moment of stillness and acceptance, as if the singer has come to terms with the end of the relationship and is ready to move forward.
