Discover the story of the song > Train Of Thought – A Ha

The lyrics of the song describe a man going about his daily routine. He enjoys solving the crossword puzzle in the morning paper and takes a bunch of letters with him to work. He disappears into his office for another working day. However, his thoughts are filled with unfamiliar people and unfamiliar places. He carries the face of a stranger with him wherever he goes. When he comes home, the house doesn't feel right to him. He feels like there should have been a sea, but there is no sea. His mind is no longer clear and he can't see things the way he used to. He feels like a stranger in his own thoughts.
