Nostalgic Reflections: Embracing Change in Joshua Malilay's 2017
Lyrics
80 mile drives
Reflecting on long-distance drives covering 80 miles.
A thousand words
Suggesting that a picture or description can convey a lot.
The kids that we were
Recalling memories of the past, particularly the younger versions of themselves.
Different as it seems
Highlighting the contrast between the past and present.
Than it used to be
Acknowledging a change from how things used to be.
2017
Referring to the specific year 2017, possibly a significant time in the narrative.
Oh, it'll never be the same
Expressing the belief that things will never return to how they were.
Somethings have changed
Indicating that certain aspects have undergone changes.
Will it be okay?
Pondering whether the changes will be acceptable or alright.
But hold tight and don't look back today
Encouraging perseverance and avoiding dwelling on the past.
We can't stop the sun, it's lightyears away
Recognizing the unstoppable nature of time, drawing a metaphor with the sun.
And though it'll change our faces grey
Anticipating that time will bring aging or challenges.
We'll still be those kids we knew yesterday
Asserting a connection to their youthful selves despite potential changes.
And now time it flies
Acknowledging the swiftness of time passing.
Rhythms have changed
Noting changes in rhythms, possibly referring to life's patterns.
Summers don't feel the same
Observing that summers lack the nostalgic feel from the past.
And I wish I could tell
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings.
Tell you how I felt
Expressing a wish to convey personal emotions.
And what I regret that day
Referring to a specific regrettable event in the past.
But oh, it'll never be the same
Reiterating the belief that the past cannot be replicated.
I know that we've changed
Acknowledging personal growth or changes.
There's none left to say oh
Recognizing that certain things remain unsaid or unresolved.
But hold tight and don't look back today
Encouraging resilience and not dwelling excessively on the past.
We can't stop the sun, it's lightyears away
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of time, emphasizing its vastness.
And though it'll change our faces grey
Acknowledging potential effects of time, such as aging.
We'll still be those kids we knew yesterday
Emphasizing a continued connection to youthful memories.
Ah ah ah ah
Repeating a vocalization, possibly for emotional emphasis.
Ah ah ah ah
-Somethings they change when we don't want them to
Highlighting the inevitability of undesired changes.
But we still gotta try and make it through
Encouraging efforts to navigate through challenges.
And although the time has changed our views
Acknowledging shifts in perspectives due to the passage of time.
I'll always keep a place for you
Promising to reserve a special place for someone despite changes.
