Strangers
Strangers from Hell
Strangers by The Rose explores the concept of feeling trapped in a situation or relationship that becomes a personal hell. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and fear as the protagonist battles their inner demons.
In the first verse, the empty eyes symbolize a lack of understanding and connection. The protagonist can't hide their fear, which resembles a nightmare. They feel misunderstood and ignored in their surroundings.
The chorus refers to a show or performance that metaphorically represents the protagonist's life. They feel torn and gradually wither away as their cries for help go unnoticed. They yearn to escape the suffocating and stagnant environment in which they are trapped.
In the second verse, the protagonist's voice is described as buried by icy sighs. Their pleas for help seem to meet dismissive or insincere responses, further intensifying their pain. The wounds inflicted upon them serve as a reminder of their current situation.
The bridge emphasizes the protagonist's realization that they are in a silent and abandoned hell. The cold, closed eyes and the silence around them highlight the loneliness and emotional turmoil they are experiencing. They express the desire to break free from this place of suffering.
The final chorus describes the protagonist's struggle to maintain their mental health in an environment that appears friendly but is suffocating. The kindness they experience only brings harm and causes them to lose themselves again. They yearn for redemption, to lay down and fade away while their breath is restricted. The lyrics suggest that they have now reached a point of despair and long for peace, even if it means losing everything.
Overall, the Song conveys themes of isolation, desperation, and the desire for liberation from a toxic or oppressive situation. It explores the feeling of being trapped in a personal hell created by others or self-imposed circumstances.
텅 빈 그 두 눈에
감추지 못해 네 두려움
그래 알아 나 악몽 같은
그 비명을
모른 체 지나쳐 여긴
Show가 시작된 거야
여기저기 찢겨
점점 말라가
신음하는 숨을 끊어내
Make me high oh make me cry
빛을 잃어가 굳어져 가는
시간에 갇힌 채 홀로
뜨거운 한숨에
싸늘히 묻힌 내 목소리
이율 물어와
그럴 듯한 눈빛으로
상처를 할퀴어 여긴
Show가 시작된 거야
여기저기 찢겨
점점 말라가
신음하는 숨을 끊어내
Let me out oh let me die
빛을 잃어가 굳어져 가는
시간에 갇힌 채 홀로
차갑게 감은 두 눈
찌를 듯 침묵하는
고요한 지옥인 걸
I should get out from here
해칠 듯 손 내미는
친절히 목을 죄는
지독히 버틴 나는
다시 또 나를 잃어가
Lay me down oh fade me out
숨이 막혀와 몸부림치는
네 곁에 잠든 채 점점
In you´re empty eyes You can´t hide your fear
I know those screams of nightmares But I´ve ignored them and come here
The Show has started Ripping up here and there I´m getting thinner and thinner My moans are ending make me high make me cry Losing the light, time is hardening Trapped here alone
In the hot sighs My voice is coldly buried
They ask for reasons With a certain look This place scratches you up
The Show has started Ripping up here and there I´m getting thinner and thinner My moans are ending make me high make me cry Losing the light, time is hardening Trapped here alone
Coldly shut eyes Silence piercing through the air I´ts a silent hall I should get out from here
Hands out for harm Slowly suffocating me But I´m enduring Losing myself once again
Lay me down oh fade me out I can´t breathe, I´m failing But I´m falling asleep next to you
