Playground
Rediscovering Bliss: Nostalgic Reflections on the Playground
Lyrics
I walk past the old playground
The speaker walks by the old playground.
The one where we used to hang out
Refers to the place where the speaker and others spent time together.
Sharing secrets on the swings
Memories of sharing intimate or personal information while on the swings.
Every day was bliss
Every day in that place was joyful and happy.
If I could choose
Expresses a desire to start over or have a fresh beginning.
I would start anew
The speaker wishes for a chance to begin again.
Can we take the long way home?
Asking if it's possible to take a longer route back home.
We'll make up our minds as we go on
Deciding or making choices during the journey.
And it was so easy to be myself
It used to be effortless for the speaker to be themselves.
Until I tried doing it
But now it's challenging to do so.
If I were you
The speaker empathizes with someone, suggesting they would also revisit the past.
I would go back too
Encouraging someone to go back to a previous time.
Can we take the long way home?
Similar to line 9, questioning if they can take a longer route home.
We'll make up our minds as we go on
Deciding or making choices while progressing.
I should turn back
The speaker considers turning back to the past.
While I still can
Expresses urgency or a sense of limited time to return.
I should turn back
Reiteration of the desire to turn back before it's too late.
While I can
A repetition emphasizing the urgency to go back.
Can we take the long way home?
Similar to lines 9 and 18, asking if they can take a longer way home.
We'll make up our minds as we go on
Making decisions or choices while continuing the journey.
Can we take the long way home?
Repetition of the desire to take a longer route home.
We'll make up our minds as we go on
Continuing to decide or make choices while progressing.
