Down The Line
Nostalgic Reflections: Unveiling Life's Moments in 'Down The Line'
Lyrics
I remember when we were young
Reflecting on the past when the speaker and others were young
Throwing stones and on the run
Recalling activities like throwing stones and being on the run
Back then it was fun
Highlighting the enjoyment and simplicity of those times
Catching feelings and not flights
Choosing emotions over traveling, expressing a different focus
Down the skatey watching fist fights
Observing fights at a skating rink, possibly metaphorical
Gannin' yem when I seen the street lights
Heading home upon seeing street lights
At a house owa the river
Referring to a house over the river, a specific place from the past
Looking for the best sunday dinner
Searching for the best Sunday dinner, symbolizing comfort
And I was a winner
Feeling like a winner during those times
Spent most my years on a screen
Spending a significant portion of life on screens
Killing zombies or watching TV
Engaging in activities like killing zombies and watching TV
Wish I stopped after my teens
Expressing regret for not stopping such activities in teenage years
What if I told you
Prompting the listener to consider a different perspective
There was a way to see down the line
Suggesting a way to foresee the future or consequences
I bet you'd pull that lever
Anticipating that the listener would take a particular action
And we could stay there forever
Imagining a scenario where the suggested action leads to lasting happiness
I heard there was another world
Introducing the concept of another world with limited elements
With one man, a dog and his bird
Describing the simplicity of this other world
And it was everything that he always wanted
Portraying this other world as fulfilling desires
I remember when he was a dreamer
Recalling someone as a dreamer in the past
When his life seemed so much simpler
Contrasting a simpler past with a more complex present
And now he can't even look at the sunrise
Not being able to appreciate the sunrise due to unforeseen circumstances
Because he never knew that his love could die
Expressing the unexpected loss of love
At the metty with twenty beans
Referring to a meeting with a quantity of beans, possibly an event from the past
Just for some plecs and a maccies please
Spending money on specific items, emphasizing simplicity
Aye that would do me
Expressing contentment with simple pleasures
I'm not scared of growing old
Not fearing the process of aging but acknowledging mental toll
But my mind has sure took its toll
Desiring to return home, possibly to a simpler and happier time
I just wanna go home
Prompting the listener to consider a different perspective again
What if I told you
Reiterating the idea of foreseeing the future or consequences
There was a way to see down the line
Repeating the anticipation of the listener taking a suggested action
I bet you'd pull that lever
Reiterating the imagined scenario of lasting happiness
And we could stay there forever
Repeating the concept of another world with limited elements
I heard there was another world
Repeating the description of the simplicity of this other world
With one man, a dog and his bird
Repeating the portrayal of this other world as fulfilling desires
And it was everything that he always wanted
Repeating the memory of someone as a dreamer in the past
I remember when he was a dreamer
Repeating the contrast of a simpler past with a more complex present
When his life seemed so much simpler
Repeating the inability to appreciate the sunrise due to unforeseen circumstances
And now he can't even look at the sunrise
Repeating the expression of unexpected loss of love
Because he never knew that his love could die
Repeating the reference to the consequences of not knowing that love could die
