Most of Us Are Strangers
Seafret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red lips on a cigarette
Lives a life with no regrets
And it makes me wonder
Acts tough but she's struggling
Camouflage but it's wearing thin
I think she's going under

Dancing through the night in electric light
Wishing it could be this way forever
You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side
It's better when we do it together

Most of us are strangers who want someone to save us
We're looking out for angels and something we can hold on
We hear sirens and suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying and tired of being alone, oh

Reach out when you're feeling low
Tell me everything I need to know
I want to see you smiling
Come on tell me how it really is
I'm sick of keeping up appearances
Don't tell me you've stopped fighting

Dancing through the night in electric light
Wishing it could be this way forever
You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side
Always better when we do it together

Most of us are strangers who want someone to save us
We're looking out for angels and something we can hold on
We hear sirens and suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying and tired of being alone, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I see you start to move and then I watch you freeze
Thinking they won't care for anything you speak
I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me
I don't want to sit and watch history repeat
I see you start to move and then I watch you freeze
Thinking they won't care for anything you speak
I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me
I don't want to sit and watch history repeat

Most of us are strangers who want someone to save us
We're looking out for angels and something we can hold on
We hear sirens and suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying and tired of being alone, oh, oh, oh




Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

The lyrics highlight the importance of reaching out for help and support when feeling low, and how much better it is to face difficulties together.


The line "Most of us are strangers who want someone to save us" emphasizes the universal desire to feel understood and supported, despite feeling like nobody really knows us. The lyrics suggest that many people are dealing with their own struggles and hardships, often silently, and are searching for someone to lean on. The repetition of the line "Getting tired of trying and tired of being alone" further emphasizes the need for human connection and support.

Red lips on a cigarette
Lives a life with no regrets
And it makes me wonder
Acts tough but she's struggling
Camouflage but it's wearing thin
I think she's going under

Dancing through the night in electric light
Wishing it could be this way forever
You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side
It's better when we do it together

Most of us are strangers
Who want someone to save us
We're looking out for angels
And something we can hold on
We are sirens, suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying
And tired of being alone, oh, oh

Reach out when you're feeling low
Tell me everything I need to know
I wanna see you smiling
Come and tell me how it really is
I'm sick of keeping up appearances
Don't tell me you stopped fighting


Dancing through the night in electric light
Wishing it could be this way forever
You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side
Always better when we do it together

Most of us are strangers
Who want someone to save us

And something we can hold on
We are sirens, suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying

Thinking they won't care for anything you speak
I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me
I don't wanna sit and watch history repeat
I see you start to move
And then I watch you freeze
Thinking they won't care for anything you speak
I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me
I don't wanna sit and watch history repeat, oh


Most of us are strangers
Who want someone to save us
We're looking out for angels
And something we can hold on
We are sirens, suffer in the silence
Getting tired of trying
And tired of being alone, oh, oh

from the day i found seafret, i had always felt myself in a silence place where i hold my peace . they are just making me happy and rest even i had a bad day. it's like... they make me forget all of them bad things.

lastlore

@Runah i listened first to kodaline and i was kinda missing something but ever since i found seafret ive also found my peace and alone time with their music lol. and because i overlistened to after dark by mr kitty so i kinda had to resort to another artist after that

Paula Poveda

I'm from Colombia, I still expect to be able to watch one of their presentations, I completly agree with u, their music just takes me to a point where I can feel completly free to decide and live.

S. F.

@Krishna Kabrawala I recommend Daughter & Hollow Coves to you :)

Krishna Kabrawala

same here. these 2 years(also, have the same feeling for this year as well) have been the lowest points of my life and whenever I am sad, I try to listen to Seafret, Kodaline, Birdy and the Lumineers. they help me to pass my dark days.

Runah

This!! I get the same feeling with Kodaline's music. Maybe you could give them a listen too (especially the first two albums, I'm kinda underwhelmed by the third one tbh)
