1st time I ever heard this song was LIVE at Coachella 2002. I was on very good drugs and was anticipating the new material that I "heard would be played". They opened up with this song. It's hard to put into words how insanely blown away I was. I love the Cure and have been a fan since day one, even Wild Mood Swings. This song still reigns as one of the most powerful songs they have ever done, IMO. It's not my fav song, but it goes to a place that none of their other songs go, and thats why I love it. I love the album too. Today, the new album drops. I am waiting . 13 more hours!!!
I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself In the head of this stranger in love Holding on given up To another under faded setting sun And I wonder where I am... Could she run away with him? So happy and so young And I stare As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love Out of time letting go In another world that spins around for fun And I wonder where I am... Could he ever ask her why? So happy and so young... And I stare... But... I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself In the heart of this stranger in love Holding on given up To this other under faded setting sun And I'm not sure where I am... Would he really turn away? So happy and so young... And I stare... As I play out the passion of a stranger in love Letting go of the time In this other world that spins around for one And I'm not sure where I am... Would she know it was a lie? So happy and so young... And I stare... But... I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself In the soul of this stranger in love No control over one To the other under faded setting sun And I don't know where I am... Should he beg her to forgive? So happy and so young... And I stare... As I live out the story of a stranger in love Waking up going on In the other world that spins around undone And I don't know where I am... Should she really say goodbye? So happy and so young And I stare... But... I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I got lost in someone else.
Me encanta la introspección de ésta pieza. Junto con Labyrinth las considero un par de piezas únicas. Llenas de poder, desesperación, melancolía. Las percibo como escenas de celos en las cuales el interprete sufre al sentir que su amada no le corresponde, o se ha ido con alguien más...
This song if you pay attention is continuous.... there is no breathing space for the singer. Complete emotional outpouring and claustrophobia rolled into one. This may not be a song I would normally be into but it's a treat to watch and hear it live. I am a little disjointed with this phase of The Cure till perhaps their net effort as well. But there are few gems on this album like 'Anniversary' and 'End of the World.'
Evnovation Friends of mine have 2 autistic boys (one is much more severe than the other). I can definitely appreciate this interpretation. It’s even as though “I can’t find myself” is coupled with “You can’t find me, either.”
jason is not a real drummer bah! any person with a little of musical knowledge notices that he lacks technique and self confidence... robert likes him not because he is a good musician but because he is easy to boss!

One of the most underrated cure songs ever
The out of tune or off key chords in this song are so striking. This song just hits different. It just sounds like anxiety and anger. Wow.
one of my favorite songs by the cure
Same
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the head of this stranger in love
Holding on given up
To another under faded setting sun
And I wonder where I am...
Could she run away with him?
So happy and so young
And I stare
As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love
Out of time letting go
In another world that spins around for fun
And I wonder where I am...
Could he ever ask her why?
So happy and so young...
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the heart of this stranger in love
Holding on given up
To this other under faded setting sun
And I'm not sure where I am...
Would he really turn away?
So happy and so young...
And I stare...
As I play out the passion of a stranger in love
Letting go of the time
In this other world that spins around for one
And I'm not sure where I am...
Would she know it was a lie?
So happy and so young...
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the soul of this stranger in love
No control over one
To the other under faded setting sun
And I don't know where I am...
Should he beg her to forgive?
So happy and so young...
And I stare...
As I live out the story of a stranger in love
Waking up going on
In the other world that spins around undone
And I don't know where I am...
Should she really say goodbye?
So happy and so young
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I got lost in someone else.
Their best song ever.

This is AMAZING.
The cure still the cure when Robert and Simon still the sames .. that's the most important ... the Cure still The Cure ...

This song means a lot to me, it was my redemption and purification in a period of full suffer.
Intense beyond words!!
This song is so intense!
he's a god
getting older is awesome fun
perfect!
Great
I heard Smith only uses Boss pedals.
I see now HOLY shit it's all boss.
the only important matter in this video is Robert Smith !!!
This song is so shocking I feel it my heart and soul, everyone has her his interpretation yet for me is a tribute to an autistic person
Evnovation Friends of mine have 2 autistic boys (one is much more severe than the other). I can definitely appreciate this interpretation. It’s even as though “I can’t find myself” is coupled with “You can’t find me, either.”
I am autistic and I don't understand what you mean its about losing yourself in a relationship
What?
usally people dont realize how good their songs are and just ignore getting into them thats why the cure isnt on the list.
but he is stealing your money hahahahaha
what ever -.-
well your not famous and making tens of thousands of dollars for doing what you like to do, im sure
jason is famous and earning tens of thousands of dollars for doing nothing! thats´ great!
jason is not a real drummer bah! any person with a little of musical knowledge notices that he lacks technique and self confidence...
robert likes him not because he is a good musician but because he is easy to boss!
