Everything I Said Yesterday
Reflections on Change: Revisiting Yesterday's Words
Lyrics
Strike the match and light the lantern, watch the patterns on the wall
Starting something new, observing the effects or consequences.
These parts are changing, they’re dark and strange now, I’m out of range and I can’t hear your call
Feeling disconnected and unable to perceive familiar aspects, perhaps due to personal changes.
Everything I said yesterday is shit I would never say to you now
Regret about previous statements, realizing they were inappropriate.
Batten down the hatches, and try to imagine, everything that happens happens for a reason
Preparing for difficult times and trying to understand the purpose behind events.
And where we started from, this broken-hearted bass drum’s been beating hard, but it’s a far cry from even
Reflecting on a journey from an emotional place to a distant, less connected one.
Everything I said yesterday is shit I would never say to you now
Reiterating regret for past words, expressing they wouldn't be said now.
Did we really come all this way to watch the words fall away from our mouths?
Questioning the purpose or value of the journey taken and the communication breakdown.
How the hell did we find ourselves here? The warning bell was ringing way before we heard it
Reflecting on reaching a problematic situation despite early warnings.
And the writing on the wall was misspelled afterall, why are we always the last to call it like we see it?
Realizing hindsight shows mistakes were evident, yet ignored.
Everything I said yesterday is shit I would never say to you now
Continued remorse over past words, emphasizing they don't reflect current feelings.
Did we really come all this way to watch the words fall away from our mouths?
Repeating doubt about the purpose of the journey and communication breakdown.
It’s like oil and water are one and the same
Comparing two incompatible elements (like conflicting personalities).
And we’re pouring the bottle over the flames
Intentionally aggravating a situation already problematic.
It’s like shattering windows to shut out the pouring rain
Exaggerating actions that worsen the situation instead of solving it.
Are we watching the whole thing circle the drain?
Questioning whether the situation is irreversibly heading towards failure.
