Malibu
Reviving Malibu: Nostalgia and Longing in Nicky Bomba's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
Its a fact everything has changed
Change is a reality
I've been thinking bout yesterdays
Reflecting on past days
You and I in the rain, nothin' ever killed our parade
Memories of being together in difficult times without losing joy
Really loved the way we put a twist on things
Appreciation for a unique approach to handling situations
And if a moment got stage fright we would make it sing
Overcoming challenges by making moments special
Alright I know that was then, some things you wish would never end
Nostalgia for moments wished to be perpetual
Sometimes you don't know what you got until its way too late
Realizing the value of something only after it's lost
No matter what you tell yourself just cant kill the flame
Unable to extinguish strong feelings or passion
Divine is how I would describe the time I spent with you
Describing the quality of time spent as heavenly
I wish that we could just revive those days in Malibu
Longing to relive past days specifically in Malibu
Insane these days, no-one's phased, by this cult of personality
Commenting on society's indifference to influential individuals
all about algorithms to invite, make it viral overnight, on and on
Critique of the reliance on algorithms for instant popularity
why do we play that game spend our life in the screen insane
Questioning why life is spent engrossed in a digital world
One day, in a summer daze, maybe we could we could we could get away?
Desire to escape to a carefree place someday
Sometimes you don't know what you got until its way too late
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the realization of lost opportunities
No matter what you tell yourself just cant kill the flame
Emphasizing the inability to diminish strong emotions
Divine is how I would describe the time I spent with you
Reiterating the heavenly quality of past moments
I wish that we could just revive those days in Malibu
Repeating the desire to revisit the past, particularly in Malibu
Too late the milk is spilt, every flower smells of guilt
Realizing the irreversibility of past actions and their consequences
Pay your bills, take your pills, running hard but standing still
Life's obligations and struggles, despite efforts, lead to stagnation
Be aware of all the mirrors and smoke
Warning about illusions and deception
One hand in your pocket, the other's getting ready to choke
Feeling trapped or conflicted, symbolized by the hand gestures
They will force your hand, make you leave the band,
Pressure to conform or make unwanted decisions
Don't believe everything
Advice to be discerning and not believe everything
I really miss ya,
Expressing missing someone
I wanna kiss ya,
Desire for intimacy and closeness
do it all with ya
Willingness to experience everything together with someone
