Simi “Stranger” Meaning
“Stranger” by Simi sees the singer seeking escapism [an escape route] to prevent a mental breakdown after realizing that she has lost her sense of judgment, or “identity” in a relationship in a bid to show how much she is in love with her partner. She has become a stranger to herself. She however wants to regain control of herself or her “identity.”
Losing yourself in a relationship means focusing on the relationship more than yourself. It means placing the relationship above you and doing everything to please your partner even if it doesn’t please you.

[Intro]
Instrumental
[Verse 1]
I do the things that I never thought that I would do
I didn’t think that love will turn me into a fool
I can not help myself, it’s way too much for my mental health
Shey na love if it makes you do stupid things? [Is it love if it makes me do stupid things?]
Shey na love o when your nightmares are in your dreams? [Is it love when your nightmares are in your dreams.]
And now I’m compelled, to run and hide in my shell
[Chorus]
‘Cause now I just feel like a stranger
My heart e don put me for danger [My heart has put me in danger.]
I don’t recognize who I am anymore
I can’t ignore
Just how much I feel like a stranger
I lost myself waiting for change
I don’t even know where I stand anymore
Is this love? No
[Verse 2]
E wo aiye mi lode oh [See my life.]
No I am not okay oh
Tell me how did I find myself in this mess
How can you be both the worst and the best?
Feels like I’m drowning
My heart is pounding
Nibo la fe gbe gba o? [Where do we want to take it to?]
This is why I am compelled to run and hide in my shell
[Chorus]
‘Cause now I just feel like a stranger
My heart e don put me for danger [My heart has put me in danger.]
I don’t recognize who I am anymore
I can’t ignore
Just how much I feel like a stranger
I lost myself waiting for change
I don’t even know where I stand anymore
Shey na love o? [Is this love? ]
[Chorus/Outro]
‘No, I just feel like a stranger
My heart e don put me for danger [My heart has put me in danger.]
I don’t recognize who I am anymore
Anymore more more
I feel like a stranger
Waiting for change
Is this love?
Is this love?
