BEFORE
Yearning for Yesterday: Seinabo Sey's Nostalgic Quest for Love
Lyrics
I want someone I adore
I desire a person whom I deeply admire
Someone who makes me feel sure
Seeking someone who provides a sense of certainty
I got a problem I always want more
Expressing a constant desire for more in life
I wish it was like before
Longing for a past time, wishing for things to be as they were
Before, before you
Reflecting on a period before a significant change or realization
Before, before I knew
Recalling a time before gaining certain knowledge or experience
What boys can do to you
Acknowledging the impact of boys and relationships
I, I want it to feel like before, before
Expressing a strong desire for a return to a previous state
I used to feel young, but now I'm old
Noting a shift from feeling young to feeling old
People used to say
Referencing past compliments on personal characteristics
I really like how you roll
Highlighting positive feedback received
But now it's September and I have a cold
Connecting a change in season (September) with a negative state (having a cold)
Looked for a shirt and it was sold out
Encountering disappointment when trying to acquire a shirt
I want someone I adore
Reiterating the desire for a special connection with someone
Someone who makes me feel sure
Emphasizing the need for a partner who instills confidence
I, I got a problem, I always want more
Admitting a continual longing for more in life
Yeah, I want it to feel like before, before
Expressing a strong desire for a return to a previous state (repeated)
Before, before you
Reflecting on a period before a significant change or realization (repeated)
Before, before I knew, I Knew
Recalling a time before gaining certain knowledge or experience (repeated)
What boys can do to you
Acknowledging the impact of boys and relationships (repeated)
I, I want it to feel like before
Expressing a strong desire for a return to a previous state (repeated)
I, I, I
Repetition for emphasis, suggesting a strong emotional state
I just want it to feel, to feel
Expressing a simple, straightforward desire for a specific feeling
What boys can do to you
Reiterating the impact of boys and relationships
I, I want it to feel like before
Expressing a strong desire for a return to a previous state (repeated)
I want it to feel like before
Reiterating the intense longing for a past feeling (repeated)
