It's Obvious
Yesterday's Echoes: Reflections on Lost Trust and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Hasn't been a year with the water clear
Reflecting on a period without clarity or resolution.
Since you've been here, yeah but it feels still
Despite time passing, the emotional impact remains.
We were eighteen but it was in between
Being eighteen, a transitional phase between daydreams and reality.
All the day dreams, yeah you hadn't made it but you will
The person hadn't achieved their dreams yet, but there's hope.
I don't keep it to myself
Not keeping emotions hidden.
Me and everybody else
Others are aware of the situation.
Knows your put me on the shelf
Feeling neglected or abandoned.
So you say it's for my health
Claiming concern for the speaker's well-being.
We all know it's for yourself
Suggesting the claimed concern is self-serving.
Think about us in the fast lane
Recalling a time of excitement and speed.
It's obvious that was yesterday
Acknowledging that the past is gone.
I'll admit it, I still think about it
Admitting to lingering thoughts about the past.
Not enough that you're friendly
Insufficient friendliness from the other person.
Lost the trust
Losing trust in the relationship.
And all you found was sorry
Apologies being the only outcome.
It's all in past tense which makes sense
Reflecting on the past, even though it's over.
But I'm still not nothing
Despite the past, the speaker still has value.
And it just takes time to start feeling like
Recovery takes time to regain confidence.
I can swim in high tide
Gaining strength to face challenges.
I get lost in all the words
Getting lost in communication difficulties.
Think you still come first
Believing the other person still holds priority.
Going off what you heard
Confusion arising from rumors or hearsay.
I don't know what's worse:
Uncertainty about what is more challenging.
What's now or where we were?
Comparing the present and past difficulties.
Think about us in the fast lane
Recalling the fast-paced moments together.
It's obvious that was yesterday
Acknowledging that the past is irrevocable.
Just admit it, you still think about it
Admitting persistent thoughts about the past.
Not enough that you're friendly
Not enough friendliness from the other person.
Lost the trust
Losing trust in the relationship (repeated theme).
And all you found was sorry
Apologies being the only outcome (repeated theme).
Used to get burned a lot
Reflecting on past emotional pain.
Now you're such a hot shot
Transforming from vulnerability to confidence.
And you've got all these friends
Having a social circle while keeping secrets.
I know things you don't tell them
Awareness of undisclosed information.

And all you found was
Apologies being the only outcome (repeated theme).
All you found was
Reiterating the limited result of the situation.
All you found was sorry
Emphasizing the predominant feeling of remorse.
All you found was sorry
Reiterating the predominant feeling of remorse (repeated theme).
