“Strangers Again” is about the realization that you don’t want to be in a relationship anymore. Chrissy sings about distancing herself from this person, hoping to become ‘just strangers again’. She also touches on the feeling of being trapped in something she doesn’t want to be limited by.
The song...
[Verse 1]
How did I get here?
And what have I done?
It's like I've been sleeping for two years
And I'm just waking up
Like I'm coming out of a blackout
Like I didn't see you 'til right now
I look around and I'm feeling like
I built a prison and put myself in it
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ahh, ahh)
I don't wanna go through the motions
(Ahh, ahh)
No, I don't wanna
[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again
[Verse 2]
Where do I go now?
And where do I start?
I don’t wanna pick up the pieces
I just wanna watch it all fall apart, fall apart
Like it should, fall apart, like I said I would
I wanted out, but you held me down
And fed me the lies I told to myself
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ahh, ahh)
I don't wanna go through the motions
(Ahh, ahh)
No, I don't wanna
[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again
[Bridge]
We had what we had but it's done
Now I'm over it
Held on for too long when I should’ve let go of it
And I know it was wrong but I tried to keep hold of it
It was wrong, it was wrong, it was wrong
[Chorus]
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again
I can't stand it when you touch me like that
'Cause it just reminds me of the nights that I spent
Telling myself it was fine
But now I'm over that
I think it's better if we just pretend
We're just strangers again

Vocalist Chrissy Costanza spoke about the meaning behind the song in Rock Sound issue 240.
‘'Strangers Again’‘ is about relationships and how toxic and blinding they can be. For me it was about a romantic relationship, but I think this can apply to platonic relationships too. I’ve even had friendsh...
