Biography; "Rizz & Matt brought clipped guitar riffs set to cinematic melodies and cut with crisp and supremely lyrical vocals. Their performance had a mature streak that is the hallmark of well-versed musicians. On stage VOWWS are demure and restrained, and their music is emotionally potent, a self-possessed and – dare I say – cherished insanity reminiscent of the late Cornell’s Black Hole Sun."

Stranger
VOWWS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're still on my mind
So let's go back some time

We were so brand new
I was scared to talk to you

You can call me a stranger
Been all over this town

Seems what I came for
Got away somehow

We had schoolyard fights
So let's go back some time

Took me days to find you
Now I'm gonna go south

Seems time's rewinding
Makes me younger somehow

Overall Meaning

The song "Stranger" by VOWWS is a brilliant reflection of the complexity of relationships that come with the passage of time. Its lyrics speak to nostalgia and the reliving of memories. In the first verse, the singer confesses that the person they were once afraid to talk with is still on their mind. The chorus acknowledges that despite being a stranger to each other, they have both been all over town. The song's overarching theme is the possibility of finding a way back to past relationships despite the changes that have taken place.

The second verse takes the listener to a time when the two were new and had schoolyard fights. The singer longs to go back to the past when they had just found that one person who set their heart racing. The bridge describes the feeling of time rewinding and making them feel younger as if they have all the time in the world to live their lives again. Overall, it's a song that speaks about the push and pull between the past and the present, and the struggle for people to come to terms with the changes that happen over time.

Line by Line Meaning

You're still on my mind
The memory of you keeps playing in my thoughts

So let's go back some time
Let's reminisce our past moments together

We were so brand new
Our relationship had just started

I was scared to talk to you
I was intimidated by your presence and afraid to approach you

You can call me a stranger
After all these years, we have become strangers to each other

Been all over this town
I have traveled through this whole town

Seems what I came for
What I was looking for

Got away somehow
Slipped away from me somehow

We had schoolyard fights
We used to have arguments when we were young

Took me days to find you
It took me a while to locate you

Now I'm gonna go south
Now I'm heading towards the opposite direction
