The band is composed of four members: Matt Robinson (lead vocalist and guitar, represented as a lion), Cooper Mathers (vocals and bass guitar, a fox), Ed Flint (vocals and guitar, a deer), and Riley Crompton (drums, a rabbit). The band members' names are largely considered by fans to be pseudonymous, which would potentially make Scratch21 a virtual band. Frontman Matt Robinson is voiced by Blake "ShadyVox" Swift, supported by their debut single being originally released via Swift's Bandcamp account and their early associations with EileMonty and Jan Animations, both previous collaborators of Swift. The actual identities of the other three members are unknown, although it has been stated that they met one another in high school.

Strangers
Scratch21 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save me, I'm drowning so deep in the darkness.
I'm waiting for your touch to stop this.
There's smoke blinding us with goodbyes.
And I
keep hope. 'Cause this feeling's different and I know,
I've staggered so long that it can't go.
Alleviate me, I'll be fine.
In time.

Please remember that I miss you.
Young and reckless, what did we do?
Broken promise, gone forever.
Maybe one day we'll get better.
Right by your side, that's where I'll be.
In a heart beat if you ask me.
Let's stay strangers like we're meant to.
Oh, I wonder if you miss me too.

Find me, I'm waiting right here where you left me.
Still shredded and bruised, but I'm breathing.
Be brave for me, ignore their eyes.
Just try.
We're dancers, and I've picked petals looking for answers,
and I've received these edges from chances.
Indelible, but I'll be fine.
In time.

Please remember that I miss you.
Not caring is so hard to do.
Everything we loved together,
it's not the same without you there.
Feels like you were just beside me.
How did time go by so quickly?
Now we're strangers, but I miss you.
Oh, I wonder if you miss me too.

(Woah-oh-ohoh) x4

Please remember, don't forget me. (Please remember, I still think of you and I.)
I'll be leaving this heart empty. (Tell me what does this all mean?)
Burn our bridge, are you still there? (Are you even still there?)
All these endless circles do nothing. (These circles do nothing.)
And I don't know, why I can't just let you go. (And remember, I've been waiting.)
Can we go back? Can we start again? (And remember, I've been waiting.)

Because I need you. (Now we're strangers, but I need you.)
Oh, I wonder if you need me too. (Oh, I wonder if you need me too.)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scratch21's song Strangers speak of the pain experienced by the singer after a break-up, yet hope of reconciliation persists. The singer describes feeling lost in darkness, waiting for their partner's touch to alleviate their pain. The imagery of smoke blinding them with goodbyes creates a sense of confusion and hurt. However, they hold onto hope because this feeling seems different and somehow worth fighting for. The chorus is a plea for their partner to remember them and the love they shared, despite the heartbreak. They mention being young and reckless and making broken promises, but still hoping for a chance to make things right. They end by acknowledging that they are strangers now, but wondering if their former partner misses them the way they miss them.

The second verse sees the singer still waiting for their former partner to come back to them, still feeling shredded and bruised from the heartbreak. They urge their partner to be brave and ignore the scrutiny of others as they try to find a way back to each other. The line, "We're dancers, and I've picked petals looking for answers," suggests the way in which they have tried to figure out what went wrong and how they can fix it. They acknowledge that they've made mistakes and taken chances that have left them with indelible scars, but they hold onto the hope that they can heal in time.

Overall, Scratch21's Strangers speaks to the pain and hope of a broken relationship, and the difficult journey of trying to rebuild what was lost.

I know I might be wrong but...

This album, Scratch21, sounds like a story.

Let's say we begin with "The Rhyme".

A song of a boy who is being bullied. Bullied so hard that he thought it was the end...

Up next.. "Butterflies".
A song of the same boy, who falls in love with a girl. He tries to make her stay and do everything he can.

Next up. "Sorry Jack"
A song that tells pretty much, that the girl isn't interested. A song that shows, that for the girl, the boy didn't try enough.

Moving forward

"Untitled"

A song by the "same" boy. Song tells us that the boy got free. He got over it. He didn't care about "her" anymore.

And lastly, "Strangers"

The last song, that proves that actually... Neither of them were free. They both missed each other. Even the "girl" says in the song "Everything we loved together. It's not the same without you there."
Even that shows, that the girl still cared. And the "boy" is so obvious...

If my comment is "up" enough, maybe, just maybe you have opinions or another story from these songs to tell.

I AM NOT ASKING FOR LIKES NOR COMMENTS. IT'S MY FAVOURITE SONG AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN IT LEAST ONCE!

I've been getting into Scratch21's music over the past few weeks, but these past few days I truly fell in-love with the band. I can't stop listening to these guys, they make my days/nights so much better!
Kinda like a drug, they really got me addicted!

🦁🧡Thank you Matt for the emotions you bring into your vocals.
🦊❤Thank you Cooper for absolutely rocking the bass.
🦌🤎Thank you Ed for making your guitar bring life to the music.
🐰🤍Thank you Riley for drumming like a pro.

I love you all, you's deserve the best in life!

This is by far one of my top favourite songs from theirs which explains why it's their most popular. (Untitled probably being a close second fav imo...)

Hope they bring out more bangers like these someday! (Perhaps a second album too? 👀)

I don't know if I should write this comment but I've been nostalgia tripping all night and doing the same on other videos, so I suppose another one should not hurt.

I listened to this song first around late 2016-early to mid-2017 shortly after meeting my first actual crush during my final class in my Senior year of high school. If you follow the lyrics of the song you can see the same result up to a point, I was in a terrible position during the time and so were they. Though unlike me they wished to help the world, and especially those they considered their pack, their friend. They tried their damndest to get me out of my situation while struggling still with their own and looking back now (which does no good but to reflect) I didn't help their situation. They were still suffering from an abusive relationship and I tried to be in a relationship with them... .with their scars still freshly there. Things quickly fell apart friendship wise and I lost contact with them over the course of my college years. Never truly dated, never truly entered into a relationship or did anything, but me doing that did stir the pot to the tipping point.

Now listening to this song reminds me of what I yearned for but I know I would never have had, still will not. For now, we still remain just as the song is titled:

Strangers.

I sang this song with a girl I liked when it first came out. We were both romantically interested in one another, at the time. When we did a duet of this song, I didn’t think it’d end up applying to us.

We fell out of touch overtime, sadly. Mostly due to a toxic relationship I found myself forced into over the summer. I wish we had reconnected.

If you’re reading this, wherever you are, I hope you’re doing well. I hope you’re happy, I truly truly do. Keep yourself air-conditioned, since you don’t have someone who can turn their arm into one.

My first love and I had... well, a fling. Things happened so quickly and everything went by so fast. We used to sit around singing together...well, mostly him. I fell in love with his voice, which was...sort of soft, like vanilla?? Of course we were so stupid and we rushed things. We thought we'd love eachother forever... then one day, we found a bridge we couldn't cross. That silly idea of a perfect love was utterly shattered... and we couldn't keep going. Not then.
A year passed since we broke up. We drifted apart. Seeing his face, hearing his voice, just hurt so much... and he couldn't look me in the eyes. But i guess... those fond memories got to us. One day, i found a message from him in my inbox, just a casual friendly message....
But i still love him.
I wonder if maybe we could sing this song together, just like old times.

Making friends is so hard in high school. If you don't have a pre-established friend group from middle school you're sol, plus you're social anxiety skyrockets as you get further and further into your teen years. In middle school I had a friend that was like no other friend I had before, or had since. We drifted apart when she went to another high school, and it was like we were strangers again. I hope I could one day meet her again, if she even remembers me. This song reminds me of the good times so much, and how they went by so quickly. With father time leaving us and our dreams, friends, etc, for dead without so much as a bucket to piss in. If you're young and have great friends that'll always stick by you, cherish them while you still can

7 years since this song came out, and 4 years since I last heard it. Brings back amazing memories of high school, and some not so amazing ones. It reminds me of a simpler, better time during my freshman year with a girl I really loved, coming back to this song always makes me think of her. There are points in life I thought about reaching out to her again, even if it's just for a moment, but I think it would be better off for both of us if we remain strangers, but that doesn't mean I can't wish her well and that I'm still hoping she enjoys where she is in life. I know this will get lost in the sea of comments, but I just needed to let this out after listening to the song again.

Been a long time since I last listened to this song. I used to be in a long distance relationship with someone back in late 2016 to early 2017 and, even today, this song reminds me of her, although in a very different way than before. By April of 2017, our relationship unfortunately fell apart very quickly despite it seeming like something that was meant to be.
With how abruptly things ended between us on that day, I've had a difficult time trying to get over her, even today in 2020, and a part of me does still wish her and I could chat one last time, to finally get some form of closure, say sorry to her for any misunderstandings throughout our short lived relationship and to know that she's alright, even without me in her life anymore...
Listening to this song now, after paying more attention to the lyrics, makes me miss everything we used to do together, and it never feels the same going back to where I first met her now that she's not really there anymore, and it does also make me wonder if she ever still thinks about me at all. If she ever finds this video, which I don't think is all that likely, I just wanted to let her know that I do hope we can meet again one last time. I was not prepared for how quickly things came and went in that relationship, and, haven't really been in a relationship since.
Just wanted to let my thoughts out really, having been 3 years since her and I met, won't be surprised if this wall of text gets lost in the sea of comments.

@tbsupratom7232

Dammit, why after 7 years is she still on my conscience whenever I hear this song even though there was nothing there and there still wouldn’t be yet I still get the same feeling of butterflies when I see her sometimes and it still hurts to listen to this. I’d thought I’d reached acceptance but I think I’m still in denial and no matter how many times I go through anger bargain and depression I end up back at the start. It doesn’t directly hurt me anymore and I don’t think of it on a whim. It comes up sometimes but doesn’t hurt, but it’s always when I am already experiencing some emotion dealing with relationships that it comes up to hurt me more than I already am and send the pain skyrocketing. I think it was a turning point, the first major scathing pain I had received, and every time I think of my past emotional traumas, it’s the only one that stabs and scathed as much if not more than when it happened. No reflecting on any other experience, even death in my life, being as much pain as quick without thinking very hard, it’s always the most vivid in terms of pain. I almost want to say welcome old friend because the specific pain alone is so distinguished. Since then, I’ve had much worse experiences and emotional struggles with death and especially betrayers and turncoat and abandoners just like her but of a much more scarring and higher caliber, yet my mind always comes to dwindle on my child self’s first experience of true betrayal and abandonment from her. How feeble the moment truly was, It’s the bottom of the bottle of my bottled up emotions from experiences. No venting can fix the pain of betrayal or death(but that’s a more obvious one), at least for me, a bottomless bottle of pain and sadness. It’s funny, I’ve way more betrayers and abandoners than I have enemies or current friends or those who broke off a relationship in a way that said that they actually ever cared about me. Because of that, my walls are usually thicker around close relationships than they are here talking to the random public. Those thick walls are probably why I’ve so many betrayers, they don’t feel like they can get close so they leave but that can’t be it because there has always usually been some other petty reason that they claim for leaving. Sometimes malevolent in the case of the turncoats. The walls make me feel safe as they numb future betrayal. But it’s only the ones who can break down those walls that betray me in the end like an armor piercing round. Aye, the walls, even when they are safe, the inside is always, always lonely. I feel so alone, but only recently have I recognized it. I just wish for one person who could break down the walls without betraying me. There’s nothing under them but emotion, no secret other than my past trifles with betrayal, bottles waiting to be emptied. I’m not sure but I feel like that’s the only way to have them emptied. I hope so or I’m out of ideas. I just don’t want to be alone anymore. Never did. Most of them aren’t “sexual” relationships, not like physical but in that type of “I like this person in this way”. Mostly they are friendships, girls interested in me in that sense are usually scared off by the walls and underlying emotions. I got hobbies and goals, but it’s not a cure, it’s just a treatment to keep me going until someone comes to try and break down my walls again like is happening currently. The only friends I have maintained are the ones who I hide all emotion from, they’re cool, but I’d rather hold on to them for long periods , they don’t need my emotional bullshit, we have the respect unsaid decision that we aren’t close enough for that kind of spilling out. Just one of the gang kind of deal. I’m getting off topic, sorry. It’s just easier to pretend the real pain doesn’t exist. I don’t feel like venting anymore because it hurts too much so I’m just going to go back to my treatment of doing homework.

I actually felt genuine sorrow on listening to this song each time . I've just recently finished my 11 years of education and it's a big weigh off my shoulders, but I've also come to the end of the road with some amazing people that I might not ever see again. Up until now I never realised how much I've enjoyed the past 5 years of my secondary school because of the people I spent my time with, created close bonds with and not to get to sappy but even some I fell in love with. For the ones I will never see again I will miss them everyday of my life and one girl who I have loved for almost 2 year and have known her even longer, but up until the last month of school I didn't know if she liked me or not and even though I had a feeling that she liked me back I was to much of a pussy to ask her how she felt. My dilemma was that if I asked here out and she didn't like me it would ruin the fleeting weeks we had left with each other, as now I'm staying behind at my schools six form and she's off to college. This song just brought back all the vivid memories of the past 5 years the good ones and the bad ones and I wouldn't have missed a single one for the world. I know I'm rambling now and thank you to the people who have taken there time and are still reading this comment BUT REMEMBER THIS, no one ever exists on purpose, no one is meant to belong anywhere and everyone we know and love are going to die, so make the most of it, happiness and memories aren't made from items or places there made from people who make you laugh, make you feel a sense of belonging and make you happy to be yourself, as before I said I feel sorrow every time I here this song but happiness also fills me as I remember my time with each and everyone of my friends, no, my "family". So do me a favour find those people and make the most of it. (Sorry if this felt sappy and/or felt like some sad souls cry for attention (which it's not) and I know it's a bit weird to put it on a YT comment section but I hope this will help at least one person to make the most out of the time they spend with the people closest to them and give them a more idealistic view on life) thanks for reading to the end 😄

I suppose it is true love then... Even though we can’t talk everyday for now I still love him with all my heart. I’m so used to being used by people...

This song always makes me think of a friend from 6th/7th grade. She was my best friend, and we both went to different schools for 8th. She was my first truly close friend, and we went through a lot together. Never any relationship stuff between us, but just trying to find our place in the world and what the future held, especially with both of us changing schools. Our school was... odd, socially, so it was a lot of buildup. I know the moment I realized how much I missed her. It was summer after 7th grade and I put this song on in the car on our drive to the beach for my mom to hear. I just started crying. I had never had to leave a friend like that.
