How I Used To
Rediscovering Love's Evolution: "How I Used To" Explained
Lyrics
On the whole way down
Beginning of a descent or challenging journey.
I was nervous with my hands out
Feeling uneasy or anxious, possibly reaching out for support.
Like a pain in my side
Comparing a difficult situation to a persistent pain in one's life.
Kept me up until the late night
Struggling with something that keeps one awake into the late hours.
I can't love like how I used to
Expressing a change or inability to love in the same way as before.
There's a stain on my cuff
Indicating a noticeable flaw or mistake that cannot be easily hidden.
But I can't pull my sleeves up
Unable to confront or address a problem directly.
Like that stretch of i-5
Reference to a specific stretch of road, possibly symbolizing a memorable journey.
It reminds not to think twice
Learning from past experiences and avoiding hasty decisions.
I can't love like how I used to
Reiterating the difficulty in experiencing love as in the past.
On the roads that felt rough
Describing challenging experiences on a difficult path.
Couldn't stop 'til I knew enough
Persisting in a quest for knowledge or understanding despite obstacles.
On the search I knew for truth
Expressing a commitment to finding truth or authenticity.
I'm reminded again when I think of you
Reflecting on a reminder of the past when thinking about someone.
I can't love like how I used to
Reiterating the theme of changed or diminished capacity for love.
