its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
We were strangers
We were strangers
For way too long
For way too long
We were strangers (violent)
For way too long (violent)
We're strangers
Get weak all the time, may just pass the time
Me in my own world, yeah, you there beside
The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side
We were strangers for way too long
Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
Me in my own world
The one that you knew (for way too long)
(We were strangers) we were strangers
(For way too long)
We were strangers
For way too long
For way too long
We were strangers
For way too long
For way too long
We were strangers (violent)
For way too long (violent)
We're strangers
Get weak all the time, may just pass the time
Me in my own world, yeah, you there beside
The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side
We were strangers for way too long
Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
Me in my own world
The one that you knew (for way too long)
(We were strangers) we were strangers
(For way too long)
We were strangers
For way too long
For way too long

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

OK, not to be disrespectful, it may be the fault of production for mixing Ian too high, but that first "Weeeeeee....were strangers" is absolutely f*n hilarious! "Weeeeeee....!" indeed!
hahahah it just makes me laugh that you laughed at it. I thought it was deep. it's cute that you thought it was funny though. :)
