Hallowed Grounds
Echoes of Youth: Nostalgia and Decay in Hallowed Grounds
Lyrics
That's nostalgia just settling in
Reflecting on a sense of nostalgia settling in
The old familiar sights and the songs
Remembering familiar sights and songs from the past
Makes me wish that I were young again
Expressing a desire to go back to a younger age
Even if I were miserable back then
Acknowledging that past times may have been difficult despite nostalgia
Used to have her but then she just got away
Recalling a past relationship that ended
Chased her again but she would never stay
Attempts to pursue the relationship again, but it never lasts
Once was teeming with life is now decay
Describing a place that was once full of life but is now in decay
So as I walk on these hallowed grounds
Walking on significant or revered grounds
The old familiar sights and the sounds
Noticing familiar sights and sounds in the present
I don't know anybody around
Feeling disconnected as there are no recognizable faces
The rites of passage just pushed me on out
Feeling forced out by the rites of passage or life experiences
Used to have her but then she just got away
Repeating the loss of a past relationship
Chased her again but she would never stay
Continued attempts to pursue the same relationship
Once was teeming with life is now decay
Reiterating the decay of something that was once lively
We were young and we felt invincible
Recalling a time when they felt young and invincible
The future was bright and things felt remarkable
Describing a bright future and remarkable feelings from the past
And every problem was fixed with some chemicals
Highlighting a period where problems were seemingly resolved with substances
