The Ones We Knew
Nostalgic Echoes: Embracing Lost Time and Lifelong Bonds
Lyrics
We grew up too fast and our lives got away
We experienced a rapid transition to adulthood, and our lives slipped away.
We grew apart I guess- but that's life as they say
We drifted apart, perhaps a natural part of life as people say.
We couldn't stay eighteen forever- I know
We couldn't remain forever at the age of eighteen - acknowledging the inevitability of aging.
But maybe our twenties could have fucking slowed down
Expressing a desire for the pace of life in our twenties to have slowed down.
So let's raise a drink to the ones that we knew
Toasting to those we once knew.
And the memories before they're gone too
Reflecting on memories before they fade away.
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Highlighting the surprising amount of time lost focusing on things that don't bring joy.
Dwelling on things we don't love
Continuing to dwell on negative aspects of life.
And maybe we're only half dead
Suggesting that despite challenges, there's still a chance for renewal.
We still have a chance to reset
Emphasizing the opportunity to reset and make positive changes.
Yeah, we've got some time left
Acknowledging that there's time left to live.
There's people I'd know if I'd see them again
Expressing uncertainty about recognizing certain people if encountered again.
But there's faces I've lost that belong to my friends
Mourning the loss of friends whose faces have become distant memories.
We couldn't stay close forever- I know
Realizing the impossibility of staying close to everyone forever.
But maybe my memories could last 'til I'm old
Hoping that memories will endure until old age.
So here's to the ones we knew and we lost
Toasting to those known and lost, now reduced to mere thoughts.
Now just the thought of a thought
Reflecting on the diminishing impact of memories.
Yeah here's to the ones we knew and let go
Offering a toast to those known and deliberately let go.
Left us with shadows of friends and their ghosts
Being haunted by shadows of friends and memories of the past.
The ones we swore we would never forget
Remembering individuals promised never to be forgotten.
But their laughs faded out like they didn't exist
Regretting the fading of laughter as if those memories never existed.
The ones who made us who we became
Acknowledging the influence of certain individuals in shaping who we are.
But couldn't find a reason to stay
Not finding a compelling reason for those influential individuals to stay in our lives.
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Reiterating the significant time lost dwelling on unloved aspects of life.
Dwelling on things we don't love
Continuing to focus on negative aspects and experiences.
And maybe we're only half dead
Suggesting that, despite challenges, there's still a chance for renewal.
We still have a chance to reset
Emphasizing the opportunity to reset and make positive changes.
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Reiterating the significant time lost dwelling on unloved aspects of life.
Dwelling on things we don't love
Continuing to focus on negative aspects and experiences.
And maybe we're only half dead
Suggesting that, despite challenges, there's still a chance for renewal.
We still have a chance to reset
Emphasizing the opportunity to reset and make positive changes.
Yeah, we've got some time left
Affirming that there is still time left to live and make meaningful choices.
