The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Strangers" by the artist "Una Healy"

Contents

Una Healy's song "Strangers" tells the story of a woman's bitter realization that the relationship she poured herself into was built on lies. The lyrical heroine asks herself questions, trying to understand if her man ever truly loved her or if it was all just empty words and broken promises.

The chorus "Maybe everything I gave you was not enough" expresses the heroine's pain and disappointment. She gave her heart away, but in return, she received only emptiness. Now, after all the disappointments they've been through, they are back to where they started – strangers.

The phrase "I didn't want to believe all those stories... Madness, you made me feel like I was going crazy believing all those lies you told me" speaks of the heroine's struggle to hold onto her belief in her lover, despite all the warnings and doubts.

In the end, she accepts reality and comes to the conclusion that breaking up is the only way out. "There's nothing left worth saving," sings Una, realizing that it's pointless to continue. The final lines "We were strangers when we met and we're strangers now we're through" emphasize the tragedy of the situation: the relationship left nothing but bitterness and a feeling of emptiness.

Tell me, did I ever really

Get to know you?

Did you really care for me

Like you're supposed to?

Oh, did you?

Empty, every word you said

To me was empty

Broken every promise

That you made me

No, we can't save this

After all the memories

And everything we had

Even after all these years

We're back where we began

[Chorus:]

I guess everything

I gave was not enough

I gave you my whole heart but,

Tell me, was it love for you?

I will not regret, I gave my all

Strangers when we met,

Now strangers at the end

You told me, I was yours

And you were mine, solely

Never wanted to believe

All those stories, yeah,

That they told me

Crazy, you made me feel

Like I was going crazy

Believing all those lies

That you fed me, no,

I wasn't crazy

So save your breath

There's nothing left

Worth keeping anyway

We are so much better off

To go our separate ways

[Chorus:]

I guess everything

I gave was not enough

I gave you my whole heart but,

Tell me, was it love for you?

I will not regret, I gave my all

Strangers when we met,

Now strangers at the end

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, hey, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]

I guess everything

I gave was not enough, ooh

I gave you my whole heart but,

Tell me, was it love for you?

I will not regret, I gave my all

Strangers when we met,

Now strangers at the end

Strangers when we met,

Now strangers at the end
