Lyrics:
A glance of admiration With little cogitation A look of desperation No further escalation The kindest little smile Of some unknown profile One glance that can beguile That makes it all worthwhile Xeno Like the fleeting rays of sunlight In the midst of snow An elevated moment With an afterglow From stranger to a face you know you’ve seen before Oh, Xeno From stranger Face you’ve seen before Oh stranger Stranger face you’ve seen before From xeno Face you’ve seen before Oh xeno Stranger face you’ve seen before Xeno Like the fleeting rays of sunlight In the midst of snow An elevated moment With an afterglow From stranger to a face you know you’ve seen before Oh, Xeno
Story:
This song is about the fleeting but powerful feeling of connection that can occur between strangers. The first stanza describes a moment of admiration and desperation, as the speaker catches the eye of someone they don't know. The second stanza uses the word "Xeno" to describe the feeling of seeing a face that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. The metaphor of "fleeting rays of sunlight" suggests that this feeling is brief but intense, like a moment of beauty in the midst of a cold and dark winter. The repetition of "From stranger to a face you know you’ve seen before" emphasizes the idea that this feeling is both strange and familiar at the same time. The use of the word "Xeno" adds to this sense of ambiguity, as it is both a name and a Greek word meaning "strange" or "foreign". Overall, the song is about the power of brief moments of connection to bring joy and meaning to our lives. The metaphor of sunlight in the midst of snow suggests that even in the darkest times, there is always the possibility of beauty and connection.
