The secret to this song is in the one line: "Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover, dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?"
She's met an ex-lover by accident somewhere. They've chatted, and the speaker has searched their soul for the person they knew and remember still. But this person is not that - they are a stranger, shrouded by time apart. They're a different person.
And then parting again as quick as it came - see you around. A beautiful moment, so many thoughts and emotions, and then it was over.
One of my favorite songs of all time. What raw emotion and perfect expression of this event. Beautiful.
