Last Year
Lost in Time: Best Coast's Reflection on Change and Uncertainty
Lyrics
I used to believe in diamonds and things
I used to value materialistic and luxurious things, like diamonds.
I used to believe in you and me
I used to believe in the relationship between "you and me."
But now I believe in nothing
Now, I have lost faith in everything, and my belief system is empty.
I used to wake up in the morning
In the past, I would wake up and immediately turn to alcohol.
And reach for that bottle or glass
I used to reach for a bottle or glass upon waking up.
But I don't do that anymore
I have stopped that behavior; I don't indulge in those habits anymore.
Kicked my habits out the front door
I've kicked my addictive habits out of my life.
And I'm always talking to somebody else
I find myself frequently engaging with other people.
She doesn't even know my face
There's someone I talk to who is unaware of my identity.
I don't know how I feel
I'm uncertain about my emotions; I don't know how I truly feel.
I'm all over the place
My emotions are chaotic and unpredictable; I feel scattered.
And when I go out I don't feel anything
When I go out, I experience a lack of emotional connection or sensation.
I just keep on spending my money
I continue spending my money without a clear purpose.
One day it will be gone
I acknowledge that one day my resources will be depleted.
And then I'll have to write another song
When that happens, I'll have to express my feelings through another song.
What a year this day has been
Reflecting on the events of the past year, it has been a challenging time.
What a day this year has been
Reviewing the experiences of the year, it has been a difficult day.
Please don't get me wrong
Despite my words, please understand that my intentions are not negative.
I just don't know where time has gone
I am bewildered by the passage of time; I don't know where it has gone.
What a year this day has been
Reiterating the challenges of the past year, it has been a tough time.
What a day this year has been
Reviewing the events of the year, it has been a challenging day.
Please don't get me wrong
Despite my words, please understand that my intentions are not negative.
I just don't know where my mind has gone
I am confused and uncertain about the state of my mind and thoughts.
