Strangerman Lyrics
I haven't done any research on this song or anything, but this song makes sense to me if it's about his older brother or dad. My only reasoning is when i was growing up, i could share my life with my mom more than my dad when i was growing up. And it could've been his older brother, someone he looked up to that didn't want too much to do with his younger brother when he grew up. I'm reluctant to think the singer is gay and is talkin about some other guy.
i have really no idea what i think it means, but it`s great.
I agree with Joseph but I think it might be more so about a father/son relationship and how it can be hard for a kid whose father doesn't really want much to do with them or pay attention.
To me, it's obvious. He's talking about a child who, just one in a million, had a "dead-beat" dad who never cared, was never there, who left him behind. One of the saddest songs I've heard in a while. Sooo pittifull.
