I have no idea what this song is about but it's a nice tight set of lyrics. A stranger to himself suggests someone not quite at ease or content. But the lyrics also suggest someone successful, also someone who's been around a bit and growing old in what he does. Success maybe has made him lonely, aloof. Despite this he inspires love in those around him. They maybe feel it keenly while he keeps it at arms length. The singer warns to take care of an aching heart but that might be from the viewpoint of his friends, transferring their feelings to his own, yet also telling him what he misses in not giving love. He though stands back, calculates, uses his arts (of success) when he sees fit. He made the most of risk and turned it to opportunity. But time is turning the words of the singer (his friend) into truth. A life without sharing love become jaded and the successful man hiding from feeling like some frightened hare.
But I would love to know what or who the song is based on because it's too tight not to have a subject.
