Lyrics
Those Days Are Gone
Expressing a sense of nostalgia and acknowledgment that a certain period in the past has concluded.
(Barry Keenan)
Attributing the lyrics to Barry Keenan, the songwriter.
We used to have all the answers
Recalling a time when everything seemed clear and definite.
Now we have none
Highlighting the contrast between the past, where answers were abundant, and the present, where uncertainty prevails.
We used to dance all the dances
Remembering an era of joy and celebration, particularly through dancing.
But all our dancing is done
Conveying that the joyful dancing mentioned earlier is now a thing of the past.
Always together
Reflecting on a time when unity and togetherness were constants.
Together as one
Emphasizing the strength of the bond that used to exist, symbolized by being "together as one."
Those days are gone
Reiterating that the mentioned days of unity and joy have passed.
Gone gone gone
Emphasizing the finality of the departure of those days.
But It's not over yet
Introducing a sense of hope or continuation despite the acknowledgment of loss.
We used to love in the night time
Recalling a period characterized by love during the night.
Peace and love was our aim
Highlighting the aim of peace and love that used to characterize their lives.
We used to call out for freedom
Remembering a time when they advocated for freedom, doing so in the name of God.
Did it all in God's name
Expressing a connection between their actions and spiritual beliefs.
We used to comfort each other
Referring to a past commitment to providing comfort and alleviating each other's pain.
We tried to ease all the pain
Describing efforts made to ease emotional suffering.
Those days are gone
Reiterating the departure of those days of comfort and support.
Gone gone gone
Stressing the finality of the loss experienced.
But It's not over yet
Introducing a sense of resilience or determination despite the acknowledged loss.
I'll fight for me
Declaring a commitment to fight for oneself.
I'll fight for you
Extending the commitment to fighting for others.
There's love love love
Affirming the presence of love in all actions.
In everything we do
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of love in their endeavors.
Yeah it's not over yet
Reiterating that despite the challenges, it is not the end.
I'm not done
Asserting that personal and collective journeys are ongoing.
I'm not giving in
Declaring a refusal to surrender or yield to difficulties.
And I'm not giving up
Expressing determination and perseverance despite hardships.
We used to talk of tomorrows
Recalling conversations and shared dreams about the future.
We used to share the same dream
Emphasizing a sense of shared aspirations and goals.
Those days are gone
Reiterating the irrevocable departure of the days when dreams were shared.
Gone gone gone
Stressing the finality of the loss of those dream-sharing days.
But It's not over yet
Reintroducing a sense of hope or continuation despite acknowledging past losses.
I'm not done
Reiterating the determination not to give in despite challenges.
I'm not giving in
Affirming the refusal to give up despite adversities.
Not giving up
Declaring a persistent and unwavering spirit in the face of difficulties.
