Yesterday
Embracing Memories: A Melancholic Reflection on Love's Fragility
Lyrics
Yesterday,
Reflecting on the past, recalling a time called "yesterday."
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Life's difficulties seemed distant and untroubling in the past.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Now those troubles appear to be a permanent part of life.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Expressing a belief or longing for the simplicity of the past (yesterday).
Suddenly,
A sudden change, feeling incomplete compared to the past.
I'm not half the man I used to be,
Not as whole or complete as before, possibly due to a loss.
There's a shadow hanging over me,
A sense of darkness or sadness overshadowing the speaker.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Yesterday's impact felt abruptly or unexpectedly.
Why she
Questioning the reasons behind someone's departure.
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
Expressing ignorance about why the person left.
I said,
Noticing something is wrong, expressing a sense of loss.
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Longing for the simplicity and comfort of the past (yesterday).
Yesterday,
Reiterating the ease of love in the past (yesterday).
Love was such an easy game to play,
Love used to be a straightforward and enjoyable experience.
Now I need a place to hide away,
Seeking a place to escape or find solace from current difficulties.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Expressing a continued belief in the simplicity of the past.
Why she
Repeating the uncertainty about the reasons for the departure.
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
Reiterating a lack of knowledge about why the person left.
I said,
Expressing awareness that something is wrong.
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Longing for the past, a desire for the simplicity of yesterday.
Yesterday,
Recalling the simplicity of love in the past (yesterday).
Love was such an easy game to play,
Highlighting the contrast with the complexity of love in the present.
Now I need a place to hide away,
Expressing a need for a place to escape or find comfort.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Reaffirming the belief or longing for the simplicity of yesterday.
