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

The protagonist in the song is a man who enjoys solving crossword puzzles from the morning newspaper. He likes playing with words, figuring them out forwards and backwards. He carries a stack of letters in a small bag and disappears into his office for work. He constantly thinks about strangers and sees corridors of bright lights in his mind. His thoughts used to make sense, but now there's something more going on that he can't understand. He carries the face of a stranger with him wherever he goes. At home, he reads on the subway and listens to a radio playing unknown songs. When he gets home, he realizes that there used to be a sea where his house is, but there is no door. His thoughts are filled with even more strangers now and his eyes can't see clearly. Nothing he knows is the same anymore and nowhere he's been has been like this. Deep down, he feels like a stranger himself, trying to navigate his train of thought.
