Halsey - Strangers
[Verse 1: Halsey]
She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore
'Cause it's more intimate, than she thinks we should get
She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore
Too scared of what she'll see, somebody holding me
[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
When I wake up all alone
And I'm thinking of your skin
I remember, I remember what you told me
[Chorus 1: Halsey & Lauren Jauregui]
Said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all
We're not lovers, we're just strangers
With the same damn hunger
To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all
[Verse 2: Lauren Jauregui]
She doesn't call me on the phone anymore
She's never listening, she says it's innocent
She doesn't let me have control anymore
I must've crossed a line, I must've lost my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
When I wake up all alone
And I'm thinking of your skin
I remember, I remember what you told me
Viewing the song through hfk’s narrative, “Strangers” is about the characters meeting at a “crazy house party” (explained in “Alone” and “Heaven In Hiding”) that takes place at Halsey’s house. The two characters in the story are Luna (Halsey) and Rosa (Lauren) and in reality, the song is about Halsey reflecting on another relationship she had been trying to move on from. “Strangers” is the 13th track on Halsey’s sophomore album. It features Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui and was co-written and produced by Greg Kurstin. Halsey has said that “Strangers” is the first song she wrote openly using female pronouns rather than her gender-neutral pronouns in previous songs. Halsey also stated in an interview that the song is an LGBTQ love song. "In 'Strangers,' two women sing to each other (Romeo’s and Juliet’s perspective) and express their feelings during their first meeting at a house party at her house."
