Anthony Green has commented that this song was written about the current lead singer of Saosin, Cove Reber. After Green had heard the new recording of his demo "I Can Tell... (There Was An Accident Here Earlier)" with Cove Reber on vocals, it felt like he was listening to the ghost of his former self -- since Reber's voice is very similar to Green's -- hence, "Didn't I know you?" and "A stranger's just someone that you've forgotten. How will we know if we've met before or done this dance, Mystery man?".
However, Green has also admitted that Juturna is indeed based on the plot and of "Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but with his life in mind.
