Like 1999
Nostalgic Reverie: Reliving 1999 in 'Like 1999' by Harryan Yoonsoan
Lyrics
Woke up, it's 2021
Awakening to the year 2021
I wanna get texts, but I never wanna text back
Desire for incoming messages but reluctance to reply
Fuck man, I'm 2020 done
Expressing frustration with the year 2020
Another paycheck and I blew it, but I'm still sad
Spending a paycheck impulsively and feeling sad despite it
We talk all of the time
Regular communication, yet feeling disconnected
But it still feels like I'm just a voice on the line, so
Sense of being just a voice on the phone
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Invitation to watch "Friends," get high, and reminisce
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Using a phone as a coaster symbolizing a carefree attitude
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
Reference to lights on the ceiling, evoking nostalgia
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999
Invitation to act as if it's 1999, a simpler time
Woke up, had a dream about You
Awakening with a dream involving a romantic scenario
We were parked in a Pontiac, making out, no internet
Specific details about the dream, emphasizing simplicity
Ten things I hate about you, honestly nothing
Expressing a lack of dislikes or complications
We talk all of the time and I love it
Continued communication and enjoyment of it
So what are you doing tonight?
Asking about the other person's plans for the night
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Repeating the invitation to watch "Friends" and reminisce
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Reiteration of carefree behavior with the phone
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
Continued nostalgia with reference to lights
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999-9-9-9 (One sec')
Extension of the invitation with emphasis on 1999
Do you mind if I'm nostalgic? Let's go back before 2000
Expressing a desire for nostalgia and a return to pre-2000 era
Back before our love was so distracted
Reflecting on a time when love was less distracted
I wish that Y2K had happened, we would stay forever classic
Wishing for the Y2K event to preserve a timeless love
You and I both be trapped in, in 1999
Imagining being trapped in the year 1999 together
We talk all of the time and I love it
Reiteration of ongoing communication and enjoyment
So what are you doing tonight?
Asking about the other person's plans once again
If you wanna come over, watch Friends and then get high
Repeated invitation to watch "Friends" and reminisce
Use my phone as a coaster, we'll travel back in time
Reiteration of using the phone carelessly
Lights on the ceiling, we're more than a feeling
Continued emphasis on nostalgic feelings
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999
Final invitation to act as if it's 1999
If you wanna come over, act like it's 1999
Repetition of the invitation with emphasis on 1999
