Growing up in Shelton, Connecticut, frontman Coley O'Toole cited the rock music of Neil Young, Elton John, Supertramp, and the Doors along with the energy of the mid- to late-1990s Connecticut music scene as having a great influence on him.
In 2006, after a decade of playing in various projects based in Connecticut, O'Toole formed the Queen Killing Kings with drummer Jon Scerbo. The duo was met with praise in the local venues and media.
With performances in Los Angeles and New York City, the band's initial success was extended beyond the local area, gaining them industry attention. After entering the Manhattan's Pyramid Studios to record what would become their debut album, former Hot Rod Circuit member and O'Toole's childhood friend Joe Ballaro joined the band on bass. Scerbo left the band early in the recording process, prompting O'Toole to bring in former Hot Rod Circuit drummer Dan Duggins. After signing to Wind-up Records, Zac Clark joined to play Fender Rhodes and organ, making the band a quartet.
The band's debut album, Tidal Eyes, was released digitally by Wind-up Records on July 14, 2009.[1]
Strangers In Love
The Queen Killing Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Different name, Different face
Keep word of this far from your tongue
Don’t tell a soul the things we’ve done
Strangers in love (4x)
Woman I, woman we
Cold nights we slipped out of our clothes
And faced each other nose to nose
And don’t be alarmed, I mean you no harm
Wait to watch the sun; wait until it comes with me
Strangers in love (4x)
The Queen Killing Kings's song Strangers In Love portrays a relationship built on secrecy and lust. The lyrics suggest that the two individuals involved are leading double lives, with different names and faces, possibly indicating that the relationship is forbidden or taboo. They keep their encounters a secret, warning each other not to share with anyone else the things they have done together. The chorus, "Strangers in love," highlights the conflicting emotions they feel towards one another - while their physical intimacy binds them together, their separate lives keep them apart, making them strangers.
The song speaks about the intense passion and desire the two individuals share, as they spend cold nights getting lost in each other. The line "And faced each other nose to nose" seems to emphasize the deep connection they have formed, where they are facing each other head-on, almost as if engaged in a confrontation. However, the second verse provides some comfort, as the singer reassures the other person that he means no harm, and suggests that they watch the sunrise together.
Overall, Strangers In Love is a poignant and tense portrayal of a relationship that is both thrilling and dangerous.
Line by Line Meaning
Secret life, secret ways
We lead secret double lives and take hidden paths
Different name, Different face
We disguise ourselves and use fake names to conceal our identities
Keep word of this far from your tongue
We must keep our actions a secret and never speak of them to anyone
Don’t tell a soul the things we’ve done
We must never reveal the intimate and forbidden things we have done together
Strangers in love (4x)
We are two people who are in love but must keep our love hidden and secret from the world
Woman I, woman we
Both of us are women and we are in this situation together
Got ourselves in something deep
We have involved ourselves in a complicated and intense situation
Cold nights we slipped out of our clothes
We snuck out of our clothes and into each other's arms on chilly evenings
And faced each other nose to nose
We looked deeply into each other's eyes and shared intimate moments
And don’t be alarmed, I mean you no harm
I want you to trust me and know that I won't hurt you
Wait to watch the sun; wait until it comes with me
Let's wait for the morning sun to rise together and enjoy the peaceful moment
