Strangers
Skrillex ft. Killagraham 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)
The singer is in a dark place and can see where their partner is even though they're not physically present. The singer's heart beats irregularly when their partner is near, indicating that they still have feelings for them. However, the partner took all the love the singer gave them and left without notice. The singer is now lost and sees no point in leaving this darkness.
The phrase "In hell, there's comfort in these flames and I don't feel the pain" implies that the singer feels more comfortable in their misery where they can forget the partner's name and become a stranger. The singer is willing to stay in this dark place where they can forget their partner and move on from the pain they caused.
Overall, the song represents a person's struggle with processing a breakup and moving on. The lyrics highlight how sometimes it's easier to stay in a dark and miserable place rather than confronting the harsh reality of a relationship ending.

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

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
And hell, there's comfort in this fame, see I don't feel the pain
And hell, I'll forget your name here, 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
And hell, there's comfort in this fame, see I don't feel the pain
And hell, I'll forget your name here, you'll become a stranger
