Imagine the feeling of reconnecting with someone from your past, only to realize that despite shared history, you both have become strangers. This powerful song by Deep Purple delves into the themes of memory, time, and separation. The lyrics speak of a soul who has traversed vast distances and lifetimes, encountering countless faces and experiences. Despite these connections, there's an underlying sorrow and acceptance that some bonds must remain unspoken or distant—perfect strangers in essence. It's a haunting reflection on how we carry echoes of our past within us while understanding that some relationships are destined to stay apart.
