Strangers
lo.Krain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fading out, that's my way of life
Losing high when the beat goes down
Take me now, take me to a place we're alone, we're alone
Fading in, take off all my clothes
Into you, my frustration grows
Take me now, want you to bring me home

You're my stranger in the dark

I am lonely, lonely heart
Waiting for someone to take me home
You're my stranger in the dark
I am lonely, vagabond
Hold me down, want you to bring me home

Let's begin, love making you beg for the win
I'm the prize you get if you do everything I say
Get you high, I get you high
I wanna be what you want me to be
I'd go anywhere, no rules, I don't care
Oh, oh just take me home, oh

You're my stranger in the dark
I am lonely, lonely heart
Waiting for someone to take me home
You're my stranger in the dark
I am lonely, lonely heart
Waiting for someone to take me home (someone to take me home)
You're my stranger in the dark
I am lonely, vagabond
Hold me down, want you to bring me home

So you're my last hope and, and I don't care what you do
Leave my heart open, I'm gonna leave it for you

You can walk on it, I wanna hurt, feeling used
Take the edge off it, just take the edge off it

Line by Line Meaning

Fading out, that's my way of life
Slowly disappearing from existence is what I do best

Losing high when the beat goes down
Feeling down when the music fades away

Take me now, take me to a place we're alone, we're alone
Lead me to a place where it's just the two of us

Fading in, take off all my clothes
Starting to reveal oneself as clothes come off

Into you, my frustration grows
Feeling more and more frustrated without you

Take me now, want you to bring me home
I want you to take me back to a place where I belong

You're my stranger in the dark
You are the unknown figure in the darkness

I am lonely, lonely heart
Feeling alone with only my heart to hold on to

Waiting for someone to take me home
Hoping someone will come and rescue me from my solitude

Hold me down, want you to bring me home
I want you to hold me down and take me back to where I belong

Let's begin, love making you beg for the win
Let's start, making you plead for the victory in our love making

I'm the prize you get if you do everything I say
I am the reward you receive if you follow my every command

Get you high, I get you high
I will intoxicate you, and in turn, myself

I wanna be what you want me to be
I am willing to change myself to fit your desires

I'd go anywhere, no rules, I don't care
I am willing to go anywhere and do anything, without regard for rules or consequences

Oh, oh just take me home, oh
Oh, oh just take me back to where I belong, oh

So you're my last hope and, and I don't care what you do
You are my last chance, and I am willing to accept whatever you offer

Leave my heart open, I'm gonna leave it for you
I will leave my heart vulnerable, solely for you to take

You can walk on it, I wanna hurt, feeling used
You can step all over my heart, as I desire the pain and feeling of being used

Take the edge off it, just take the edge off it
Lessen the sharpness of the pain, just lessen the sharpness of the pain
