Moments
Eternal Echoes: Nostalgia and Change in Social Climb's 'Moments'
Lyrics
Boxes of postcards and polaroids fill up the attic
Boxes in the attic are filled with postcards and polaroids, representing a collection of memories.
Reminding us of memories of the past
The postcards and polaroids serve as reminders of past memories.
You and I remember it so clearly under the night sky as it glowed from dusk to dawn
The speaker and someone else recall a clear memory under a night sky that glowed from dusk to dawn.
Until it all repeats
The cycle of memories repeating is acknowledged.
And each moment flashed right through our eyes
Each moment passes quickly before their eyes.
As time stood still, we took our time
During these moments, time seemed to stand still, and they took their time.
It's so hard to see we're so different now
The realization that they are now different from the past is expressed, and it's challenging to see.
And I wonder what lies ahead now
Curiosity about the future and what lies ahead is pondered.
'cause it's all a dream
Emphasizes that everything experienced is a dream.
It's just a dream
Reiterates that it's all just a dream.
All these memories will live forever
Memories are believed to be everlasting.
Do you remember all the summers we spent?
Asks if the listener remembers the summers spent together.
They were so amazing
Describes those summers as amazing.
We rode our bikes until the rain started pouring out
Recalls riding bikes until rain forced them inside.
We sought out refuge inside our homes and played with our Playstation
Seeking refuge indoors, they played with their Playstation.
As we lost track of time
Lost track of time during these moments.
And each moment flashed right through our eyes
Similar to line 5, moments pass quickly through their eyes.
As time stood still, we took our time
During these moments, time stood still, and they took their time.
It's so hard to see we're so different now
Reiteration of the difficulty in accepting the differences between past and present.
And I wonder what lies ahead now
Curiosity about the future and what lies ahead is restated.
'cause it's all a dream
Reiteration that everything experienced is a dream.
It's just a dream
Reiterates that it's all just a dream.
All these memories will live forever
Belief that memories will endure forever is reiterated.
And each moment flashed right through our eyes
Similar to lines 5 and 17, moments pass quickly through their eyes.
Through our eyes
Emphasis on the moments passing through their eyes.
Through our eyes
Repetition for emphasis.
And each moment flashed right through our eyes
Repetition of the idea that moments pass quickly through their eyes.
As time stood still, we took our time
During these moments, time stood still, and they took their time.
It's so hard to see we're so different now
Reiteration of the difficulty in accepting the differences between past and present.
And I wonder what lies ahead now
Curiosity about the future and what lies ahead is restated.
'cause it's all a dream
Reiteration that everything experienced is a dream.
It's just a dream
Reiterates that it's all just a dream.
All these memories will live forever
Belief that memories will endure forever is reiterated.
