Interlude
Talina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a stranger in my house
Took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be
Who you say you are
You gotta be someone else
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
He would adore me
He wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced
There's a stranger in my house
In Talina's song Interlude, the lyrics tell the story of a woman who realizes that there is a stranger in her house. She is unsure about the identity of the person who is claiming to be her partner because the way they treat her and touch her is different from her partner's behavior. This leaves her feeling confused and hurt because she is convinced that there is someone else in her home masquerading as her partner. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal, loss of trust and a search for answers.
The lyrics are loaded with emotions, and it appears that the woman is going through a journey of self-discovery. She is grappling with questions around the authenticity of her relationship and the person who is present in her life. The song is an observation of the things that can go wrong in a relationship and how we can find ourselves lost in situations that we never imagined could happen. In summary, the song's message is one of identity, betrayal, confusion, and the search for truth.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know just who you are
I am unsure of your identity
There's a stranger in my house
You feel like an unfamiliar person in my home
Took a while to figure out
It took time for me to realize
There's no way you could be
I do not believe you are
Who you say you are
The person you claim to be is not plausible
You gotta be someone else
I suspect you are a different person
'Cause he wouldn't touch me like that
The actions you have taken toward me are not typical of my partner
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
The way you are behaving towards me is not how my partner behaves
He would adore me
My partner would love and cherish me
He wouldn't ignore me
My partner would not overlook me
So I'm convinced
Therefore, I believe
There's a stranger in my house
You still feel like an unfamiliar person in my home
