Goodbye Stranger Lyrics

The song is about a superficial man. It's a tragedy song. In his fear of intimacy or dependency, he doesn't get close to anyone. When he leaves, looking to escape the pressure of the demands of any person trying to get closer to him, they are still strangers to him. His life is a sad cycle of leaving strangers behind.
