When I Lost My Youth
Lost Youth Chronicles: Navigating Demons and Lost Love
Lyrics
Remember when you came to mine
Recalling a past moment when the person visited the singer's place.
You finally let it all out
Describing a moment when the person finally opened up emotionally.
Sat on my bed, I was all packed up
Narrating a scene where the singer was ready to leave, possibly indicating a significant change.
Shared the pain with all your trust
Sharing emotional pain with trust and openness.
Remember when we went out those nights
Revisiting nights spent together in Stoke Newington, expressing satisfaction.
Stoke Newington never dissatisfies
Highlighting the positive experiences in Stoke Newington.
I’ll admit it’s a blur for me too
Acknowledging that memories are blurry, possibly due to excessive wine consumption.
Too much wine but we liked the live blues
Recalling enjoyable times with live blues music despite the haziness.
I’ve tried to reenact what’s been lost at the back of my mind
Expressing an attempt to recreate lost memories stored in the subconscious.
I’ve tried to readjust, ignore the reminder that it’s all out of sight
Trying to ignore reminders that the past is no longer visible.
But it all stopped when I lost my youth
Pointing to a turning point marked by the loss of youth.
I went back to the Hare & Hounds
Returning to the Hare & Hounds as an attempt to find stability.
Thought it’d get my feet back on the ground
Hoping that returning to familiar places will ground the singer.
But it just brought back the eyes of the demon sleeping inside
Realizing that revisiting the past brings back inner struggles.
I once sang about the rain washing it out
Recalling a previous belief that singing about rain could wash away troubles.
That fantasy that never lasts
Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of certain fantasies.
I left it all by my front door when I left that dodgy London road
Leaving behind past experiences when departing from a challenging London road.
I let it slip off my fingers all the lost love I never gave
Letting go of unexpressed love and missed opportunities.
In fear of dragging you down to my corner of hell
Fearing the negative impact on others by bringing them into personal struggles.
I’ve tried to reenact what’s been lost at the back of my mind
Reiterating the attempt to recreate lost memories in the mind.
I’ve tried to readjust, ignore the reminder that it’s all out of sight
Persisting in trying to avoid acknowledging the past's absence.
But it all stopped when I lost my youth
Emphasizing that everything changed with the loss of youth.
The only authentic truth
Declaring that the only genuine truth is the loss of youth.
It stopped when I lost my youth
Stating that the transformation occurred with the loss of youth.
