- Strangers When We Meet LyricsAll my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
I'm with you
So I can't go on
[CHORUS]
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheet
I'm bewildered/resentful
For we're strangers when we meet
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I'm over you
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes
[CHORUS]
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
Steely resolve
Is falling from me
My poor soul
All bruised passivity
All your regrets
Ride rough-shod over me
I'm so glad
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm so thankful
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm in clover
For we're strangers when we meet
Heel head over
And we're strangers when we meet
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffe
I'm with you
So I can't go on
[CHORUS]
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheet
I'm bewildered/resentful
For we're strangers when we meet
Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I'm over you
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes
[CHORUS]
Cold tired fingers
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu
Steely resolve
Is falling from me
My poor soul
All bruised passivity
All your regrets
Ride rough-shod over me
I'm so glad
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm so thankful
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm in clover
For we're strangers when we meet
Heel head over
And we're strangers when we meet

✔️
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, David Bowie's 'Strangers When We Meet' is a representation of the disconnection feeling and alienation in a romantic relationship, i.e., the singer thinks about how quickly the love has been losing and the distance that has been created emotionally between them. The use of metaphors such as 'strangers' and 'the blended sunrise in a dying world' by the lyrics reflects the feelings of unfamiliarity and disconnection, thus fortifying the bittersweet acknowledgment that although they used to be close they are now like strangers to each other. The song's lyrics are indicative of heartbreak, angst, reflection, despair, and solitude predominantly. However, it also emphasizes the duality of pain and loss, bitterness and forgiveness, and separation and alienation. The lyrics present emotional chaos and contain subtle references to violence and despair, which might not be appropriate for very young children. On the other hand, since the song does not have any explicit language, nudity, or drug use, it can be considered suitable for older children with the accompanying parents' guidance.
