Strangers
Z & Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wouldn’t let you catch my eye
But my well keeps runnin' dry
Nobody’s at my door
Told me they wanted more, but
I’m staring at my phone, all alone
Call me desperate
Maybe I notice you
And it’s all I can do
Put your hands on my body
Tell me you want me
Just keep me going
Don’t let me go, just take control, yeah!
Pull me closer
No need to get to know ya
Don’t care what your name is
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?
Locked on to your lips
As you ask another question
What do I have to do?
Just let me make a move on ya
Take another sip, boy,
That’s just my suggestion
Oh, once you’ve had a taste
You’ll wanna say my name (Say my name)
Put your hands on my body
Tell me you want me
Just keep me going
Don’t let me go, just take control, yeah!
Pull me closer
No need to get to know ya
Don’t care what your name is
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?
Maybe we have only tonight
Don’t need to be right, does it?
Have I been misreading the signs
Waste of my time, was it?
If we have only tonight
Tell me what you like, if ya
Get me feelin’ alright
Might change my mind
So put your hands on my body
Tell me you want me
Just keep me going
Don’t let me go, just take control, yeah!
Pull me closer
No need to get to know ya
Don’t care what your name is
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?




Can’t we be strangers?
Can’t we be strangers?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Z & Z's song "Strangers" speak to the theme of one-night stands, where the singer is willing to ignore societal norms and expectations for a chance at physical intimacy with a stranger. The song opens with the singer putting up a facade of disinterest to mask their inner desperation for companionship. The chorus then sees the singer pleading with their partner to touch their body and keep them going, to not let them go and to take control. The singer suggests that they remain strangers, emphasizing that they do not need to get to know each other or even care about each other's names.


The second verse sees the singer still attempting to maintain a cool exterior as they lock onto their partner's lips, urging them to take a chance on them. The chorus repeats with the same sentiments as before. In the bridge, the singer seems to question their actions, wondering whether they are wasting their time and reading signals incorrectly. However, they ultimately decide to continue along the same path, leaving open the possibility of changing their mind if things go well.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone looking for a physical connection with a stranger, willing to disregard social conventions and personal reservations for a chance at skin-on-skin contact.

“Strangers” is about feeling a disconnect from society but finding comfort from another being who shares the same differences.

Thank you for listening everyone!!

These lines hold so much:
"Don’t think I belong here
I’m not from this world
And nobody gets me
like I’m not from earth
Feel like an alien
I just don’t fit in
