Stranger
Sam Setton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been lost, I've been confused
But amused by your ways
Because you said
We would never play these childish games
But yet today, you remain
A stranger
I gave you my heart
So far apart
But yet so close, I still see you at the bar
Making eyes from afar
Like we're strangers
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I will persist
You're so beautiful that I can't resist
It's been so long since I have touched those lips
But you insist
That you remain a stranger
To me
Tell me that I'm
Not the only one at fault this time
We've been through hell and back
Babe, it's not OK
That you remain a stranger
To me
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I've been like
No no, No no
No no, No no
I don't regret
Anything I said to you then
Sitting on the edge of my bed
Stains on my eyes
I can barely see'
The weight of the world
Coming down on me
I won't hold my breathe
For nobody else
With you by my side
I'll be whole again
But you go ahead and lie to me, girl
Go ahead and cry for me, girl
Its real simple I'll provide for you, girl
You're sleeping on the way I
Vibe with you, girl
Too young to buy in
So sick I'm dying
Thought when you left I'd be OK
But I -
I've been like
No no, No no
Now we're just
No no, No no
No we're just strangers
I've been like
No no, No no
Now we're just
No no, No no
No we're just strangers
The song "Stranger" by Sam Setton is a heartfelt ballad depicting a relationship that has fallen apart. The lyrics are reflective of feelings that arise when one feels they have lost someone they love, but the person they used to know is now a stranger. The artist expresses the inner conflict of how he still sees the person he loved, but now they remain distant no matter how hard he tries. The lyrics begin by acknowledging that the artist has been lost and confused. Despite this, he was intrigued by the person he loved, who he thought was different from everyone else. This person promised never to play any childish games, yet now remains a stranger.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No no," which implies the internal struggle the artist is facing. He wants to let go, but his emotions hold him captive, making him say "No no" to the idea of ending things. The second verse emphasizes the artist's determination to not give up on the person he loves. He acknowledges that he can't resist the beauty of the person, and it's been a while since he's touched their lips. However, the person seems adamant in remaining a stranger, and the artist pleads for them to open up and let him in. The bridge discusses how the artist regrets nothing that was said but how he is in pain, and while he will not wait for the person to come back, he hopes to have them back by their side one day.

I've been the same
I haven't changed, I'm still me
I've been lost, I've been confused
I've been feeling lost and unsure of things
But amused by your ways
But entertained by the way you act
Because you said
You told me
We would never play these childish games
We promised each other we wouldn't play games in our relationship
But yet today, you remain
But you're still
A stranger
A person I no longer know
I gave you my heart
I trusted you with my heart
I never thought that we'd be
I never imagined that we would end up
So far apart
So distant from each other
But yet so close, I still see you at the bar
But yet so close, I still see you around
Making eyes from afar
Looking at me from a distance
Like we're strangers
Like we don't know each other at all anymore
I will persist
I will keep trying
You're so beautiful that I can't resist
You're so attractive that I can't help but be drawn to you
It's been so long since I have touched those lips
It's been a while since I last kissed you
But you insist
But you're still adamant
That you remain a stranger
That you're still a stranger to me
To me
To me specifically
Tell me that I'm
Admit that I'm not
Not the only one at fault this time
The only one to blame for what went wrong this time
We've been through hell and back
We've been through a lot together
Babe, it's not OK
It's not okay
That you remain a stranger
That you're still a stranger
I don't regret
I don't feel bad about
Anything I said to you then
Anything I told you before
Sitting on the edge of my bed
Sitting on the edge of my bed
Stains on my eyes
Having teary or bloodshot eyes
I can barely see
I can hardly see
The weight of the world
The pressure of everything
Coming down on me
Bearing down on me
I won't hold my breathe
I won't wait around
For nobody else
For anyone else
With you by my side
With you there supporting me
I'll be whole again
I'll feel complete again
But you go ahead and lie to me, girl
But you can keep lying to me
Go ahead and cry for me, girl
Go ahead and cry in front of me
It's real simple I'll provide for you, girl
I can provide for you easily
You're sleeping on the way I
You're still not understanding how I
Vibe with you, girl
Get along with you
Too young to buy in
I'm too inexperienced to know better
So sick I'm dying
I'm feeling so ill that I'm dying
Thought when you left I'd be OK
I thought I would be fine when you left
But I -
But I'm not
Now we're just
Now we're only
No we're just strangers
No longer connected in the same way
