Young and Divine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And wage war with conversation.
You take the words right off my..
Sitting down, legs crossed, I'm moving down...
Spreading your legs out.
I'm moving down..Sweatin' now..
(Chorus)
Strangers by day.
Down to the sounds of electric strings.
You breathe the air that's in my lungs,
Take yours no hesitation.
You breathe the air that's in my..
Sitting down, legs crossed, I'm moving down.
Spreading your legs out.
I'm moving down..
Sweatin' now.
(Chorus) x2
Name anything, I'll be your..
Strangers by day.
Down to the sounds of electric strings.
We're on...fire.
You take my words right off my tongue.
And you breathe the air that's in my lungs.
You take the words right off my..
You breathe the air that's in my..
Inside and outside, we're sweatin' now.
(Chorus) x2
Name anything, I'll be your..
Strangers by day.
Down to the sounds of electric strings.
The lyrics of Young and Divine's "Strangers by Day" are about an intense attraction between two people who have just met. The singer describes how his words are taken by the other person and turned into a conversation, which includes a lot of flirting and suggestive gestures. Both of them are sweating and breathing heavily, implying that something more than just conversation is going on. However, they remain strangers in the daylight as the title suggests that their connection is only temporary.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Name anything, I'll be your strangers by day" which implies that they are willing to do anything to keep this connection alive. The use of the phrase "electric strings" can be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, it could refer to the music that is playing which is having an electric effect on their attraction towards each other. Alternatively, it could refer to the electricity that comes with the sexual tension between them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Strangers by Day" describe a passionate and fleeting connection between two people who are strangers in the day, but intimately connected at night.

You take the words right off my tongue
You speak my thoughts before I even vocalize them
And wage war with conversation.
You engage me in heated debates and discussions
Sitting down, legs crossed, I'm moving down...
I'm sitting while you stand, and we are physically moving apart
Spreading your legs out.
You are taking up more physical space than I am
I'm moving down..Sweatin' now..
I am physically uncomfortable and anxious
(Chorus)
Repeated refrain
Name anything, I'll be your..
I am willing to participate in anything you desire
Strangers by day.
We pretend to be casual acquaintances during the daylight hours
Down to the sounds of electric strings.
Our relationship is passionate and intense, fueled by music
You breathe the air that's in my lungs,
Our intimacy means that we share even our breath
Take yours no hesitation.
I receive your breath without any hesitation or resistance
Inside and outside, we're sweatin' now.
Both our physical bodies and emotional states are heated and intense
We're on...fire.
We are consumed by passion and desire
You take my words right off my tongue.
You understand me so well that you can verbally express my thoughts
And you breathe the air that's in my lungs.
Our intimacy and closeness is so strong that we share even the air we breathe
Down to the sounds of electric strings.
Our intense relationship is fueled by the power of music
