This is the actual song meaning explained by MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN.
"A STRANGER, UM BREIF EXPLANATION. I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAD THAT SITUATION WHERE YOU'VE COME IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A SPECIAL CONNECTION WITH BUT THEIR BEHAVIOR WAS SO ERRATIC AND OVER THE TOP YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT HIT YA. KIND OF LIKE A TORNADO RELATIONSHIP. UM, AND THATS KIND OF WHAT A STRANGER IS ABOUT."
Aso there you have it.
