Nostalgia
Chasing Fading Light: Nostalgia in Neon Rain
Lyrics
Yesterday was painful
Yesterday holds painful memories.
Caught up in these sentimental tangles
Feeling entangled in sentimental emotions.
Wrapped around my fingers and my toes
Emotions are tightly woven around fingers and toes.
Never letting go
Reluctance to release or move on from these emotions.
Beautiful depression in a stranglehold
Describing a captivating and beautiful but suffocating feeling of depression.
And you haunt me like a perfume
Someone's presence is haunting, lingering like a perfume.
Somewhere in the next room
The haunting presence is felt nearby, though not directly seen.
Over in my mind and I try by I never see
The haunting thoughts persist in the mind, but efforts to understand are futile.
Water now it’s sand dunes

Nothing’s what it used to

Flow in every mile

Every smile an eternity
Each smile feels like an eternity, emphasizing the depth of emotions.
There’s no hoping that
No hope for echoes or reflections of the past to return.
Echos might turn back
The fading of echoes or memories is accepted.
I’ll be chasing fading rays of light
Chasing after diminishing rays of light, possibly symbolizing lost happiness.
Now it’s all just staying dry without ya
Life feels like a struggle to stay emotionally afloat without a specific person.
