Stranger
Sam Dew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger (Become a stranger)
I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
(You'll become a stranger)
I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
(You'll become a stranger)
Here in the dark I can see where you are
I see so clearly
The beat of my heart just stops and starts
Whenever you're near me
I just gotta thank you, all the love I gave you
Came and you took it all away
And now there is no pain, there's everything to gain here
Now that I'm lost I think I'll stay (Stranger)
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain
In hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger (Become a stranger)
In the song "Stranger" by Sam Dew, the lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and finding comfort in the darkness. The opening lines "Here in the dark I can see where you are" suggest that the singer is in a place from where they can observe the person they are singing about. The darkness is symbolic of the pain and isolation that the person feels after they were abandoned by someone they loved. The repetition of the line "I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger" implies that the person has decided to let go of the past and move on, even if it means forgetting the name of the person who left them.
The first verse expresses the singer's gratitude towards the person who hurt them, for taking away their love and causing them pain. The lines "all the love I gave you, came and you took it all away" suggest that the singer blames the other person for the end of the relationship, but at the same time, they are grateful for the experience. The chorus uses the metaphor of "hell" to describe the place where the singer finds comfort in the pain. The line "In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain" suggests that the person has found solace in their own misery and in a way, they prefer the darkness to the light.
Finally, the last line of the chorus "you'll become a stranger" implies that the person is ready to let go of their past and move on with their life. The repetition of this line emphasizes that the singer has decided to forget the person who left them and move on with their life.

Aquí en la oscuridad puedo ver dónde estás
Veo tan claramente
El latido de mi corazón se detiene y arranca
Cada vez que estás cerca de mí
Sólo te doy gracias, todo el amor que te di
Llegó y te lo llevaste todo
Y ahora no hay dolor, hay mucho que ganar aquí
Ahora que estoy perdido creo que me quedaré
En el infierno, hay comodidad en estas llamas y no siento el dolor
En el infierno, olvidaré tu nombre, te convertirás en un extraño
