Strangers
Vylet Pony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a world above
With beauty in it's name
Still it couldn't
Be further than the truth
The stars that pierce
The darkness
The lights that once had shown the path
Are now in need of guidance
She looks inside her soul
To see something quite strange
The fear she knew before
Is realized once more
We're strangers
In a place we should've known
And still such beauty
Must end
We're strangers
Still the fear I can't contain
My heart still longs
For a hope
She fades into a dream
A fantasy of life again
What becomes of all
Her eyes conceal what's now and then
A tale of woe and awe
To caution them, the path awry
The child who dreamt it all
Dreams again of evil raw
Nopony told her
Nopony told.
That the monster she ran from
Does beauty behold
We're strangers
In a place we should've known
And still such beauty
Must end
We're strangers
Still the fear I can't contain




My heart still longs
For a hope

Overall Meaning

Vylet Pony's song Strangers speaks about the idea of being lost and alone in a world that was supposed to be familiar. The lyrics paint a picture of a character who is lost and confused, searching for guidance amidst a world that has become foreign to her. She is seeking beauty, but what she finds instead is darkness and fear. The stars that once lit the way for her have dimmed, and she is left feeling alone and vulnerable. The song's theme is about the loss of innocence and how things can change without our knowledge or consent. The character is longing for a sense of hope in a world that has become increasingly hostile, and she is trying to make sense of her place within it.


The song is a reflection on the nature of change and the human condition. It shows how we are all strangers in some sense, trying to navigate our way through life amid the ever-shifting currents of the world around us. The lyrics also hint at the idea that sometimes the things we fear the most can be beautiful in their own way. This is something that the character in the song seems to understand, even as she is struggling to make sense of it all.

I will keep coming back to this one, even in the future... I know it...
It makes me emotional... And makes me feel nostalgic.
This particular song reminds me of a special moment in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky/Time/Dark: the moment when you, the protagonist, have to disappear at the end of the original story, leaving your friend behind. A very special, sad moment of the game that still gets to me, even after all these years.
I guess this is because this song is made with feelings. It's so breathtaking it feels unreal.
To me, it's so incredible I know I will come back to it...


I just wanted to share these feelings and thank you once again for this album and, in particular, so far, for this song.
You are incredible, my dear.

Vylet, you've been an inspiration for me ever since I found your music. It has saved me countless times in the past few years, when I didn't have the strength to continue. And with this new album and you coming out, I wish I knew how you do this, when I'm still finding my way about. Thank you Vy~

Thanks for this song. Artists always thank their audience for supporting, but I think the audience should say thanks too frequently. So yea thanks I guess.

Reading that small part of the description, the picture, the song itself... It's all a single piece, for real. Relistening this already. It really takes me inside the song, as if i was watching it all happen with my own eyes.
