Lyrics

Still remember what could be

Reflecting on memories of what could have been

Close your eyes, recall your dream, our dreams, yeah

Encouraging to envision dreams by closing eyes

But we left without shedding tears

Departing without shedding tears

The floor was falling just under our feet, I need to

Feeling instability, urgency to understand

Remember why did we leave, we had it all, we came up short, now I find myself

Recalling departure reasons, acknowledging lost opportunities

Looking back

Engaging in introspection and reminiscence

But I just can't see no light, no light

Expressing inability to see hope or positivity


It's all plain dark

Describing a state of complete darkness

Better days gone and it's night, it's night

Mourning the passing of better days, facing the night

I keep looking back

Continuing the act of looking back

It's all plain dark

Emphasizing the pervasive darkness

Better days gone and it's night

Reiterating the loss of better days and the arrival of night

I keep looking

Repeating the act of looking back

Better days gone and it's night

Highlighting the contrast of better days now replaced by night


We were kings amongst the dirt

Recalling a time when they felt elevated among challenges

Everything was clear and now it's blurred, it's blurred, I need to

Describing a shift from clarity to confusion

Remember why did we leave, we had it all, we came up short, now I find myself trying to

Questioning the decision to leave despite having everything

Remember why did we leave, we had it all, we came up short,

Repeating the contemplation of leaving and feeling short

and I feel miserable, the reason why I'm looking back

Expressing misery and the reason for looking back

But I just can't see no light, no light

Reiterating the difficulty in seeing any positive signs


It's all plain dark

Reinforcing the pervasive darkness in their current state

Better days gone and it's night, it's night

Mourning the loss of better days, facing the night

I keep looking back

Continuing the act of looking back

It's all plain dark

Emphasizing the overwhelming darkness

Better days gone and it's night

Reiterating the loss of better days and the encroaching night

I keep looking

Repeating the act of looking back

Better days gone and it's night

Stressing the contrast of better days replaced by night


It's all plain dark

Reemphasizing the prevailing darkness

Better days gone and it's night, it's night

Mourning the disappearance of better days, facing the night

I keep looking back

Continuing the repetitive act of looking back
