XTC
Nostalgic Longing: My XTC, My Living Fantasy
Lyrics
The grass is always greener on the other side
The idea that things are better elsewhere or in other situations.
And the sky is more blue on the pictures you see online
Images online may portray a more idealized version of reality.
Still I can't get over you
Despite external appearances, the singer struggles to move on from someone.
Cause I still remember
Recollection of shared experiences with the person in question.
All of the things that we've been through
Reflecting on the history and memories shared with the individual.
You used to be
Addressing the person's previous role as a significant part of the singer's life.
My favorite melody
Describing the person as a cherished and memorable aspect of life.
My XTC
Referring to the person as "XTC," possibly symbolizing an intense and ecstatic connection.
My living fantasy
Characterizing the person as a living fantasy, emphasizing their significance.
Now I can't breath
Expressing difficulty in coping without the presence of the person.
Without you next to me
Highlighting the importance of the person's companionship for the singer.
Oh, love ain't easy
Acknowledging the challenges and complexities of love.
I moved on
Indicating a past effort to move on from the person.
Got my shit together now
Achieving personal stability and organization after the breakup.
Then this Post Malone song comes on
A specific song triggers memories and emotions associated with the person.
And makes me think of you somehow
The mentioned song brings the person back to the singer's thoughts.
And I know it's wrong
Recognizing the inappropriateness of dwelling on the person but acknowledging its emotional appeal.
But it feel so right
The emotional connection feels right despite its rational incorrectness.
So I wrote this song
Creating a song as a therapeutic way to overcome thoughts of the person.
To get you out of my mind alright
Expressing the desire to free the mind from thoughts of the person through the song.
You used to be
Reiterating the person's past role as a cherished melody.
My favorite melody
Referring to the person as "XTC" again, emphasizing their unique and intense connection.
My XTC
Highlighting the person's role as a living fantasy once more.
My living fantasy
Expressing the continued difficulty in functioning without the person.
Now I can't breath
Reiterating the struggle to breathe without the person's presence.
Without you next to me
Underlining the ongoing challenges of love.
Oh, love ain't easy
Emphasizing the complexity and hardships associated with love.
Another day
Mentioning the passage of time, indicating the continuation of life without the person.
Another lie
Admitting to the presence of deception or untruths in the singer's life.
I wish you'd know
Expressing a wish for the person to understand the internal emotional struggles.
How I feel inside
Conveying the depth of emotions felt internally.
This empty space
Describing a void or emptiness left by the person's absence.
Next to me
Physical proximity or emptiness next to the singer triggers memories of the person.
Brings back all these memories
Revisiting memories associated with the empty space next to the singer.
Cause, you used to be
Reiterating the person's past significance as a cherished melody.
My favorite melody
Recalling the person as "XTC" and highlighting their unique and intense connection.
My XTC
Emphasizing the person's role as a living fantasy once again.
My living fantasy
Expressing the ongoing struggle to function without the person.
Now I can't breath
Reiterating the difficulty in breathing without the person's presence.
Without you next to me
Underlining the ongoing challenges and complexities of love.
Oh, love ain't easy
Reiterating the notion that love is not easy and involves hardships.
