Old Arcade
Nostalgic Shadows: Exploring Time's Echo in Still Corners' Old Arcade
Lyrics
Walking past the old arcade
Reflecting on a stroll past a nostalgic arcade from the past
In the last summer days
Recalling experiences during the final days of a past summer
Play the broken pinball machines
Engaging with malfunctioning pinball machines in the arcade
Time wasted is a waste of time
Emphasizing the futility of wasting time
Ooh
Expressing emotion, possibly nostalgia or reflection
By the old arcade
Continuing the theme of being near the old arcade
There's a storm I heard 'em say
Acknowledging an approaching storm, possibly metaphorical
Something's you just can't explain
Highlighting the existence of unexplainable phenomena
Playing late into the night
Engaging in late-night activities, possibly gaming
And it's only you on my mind
Focusing thoughts on someone special during the late-night activity
Ooh
Repeating emotional expression, indicating significance
By the old arcade
Reiterating the connection or emotion associated with the old arcade
Ooh
Repeating emotional expression for emphasis
By the old arcade
Continuing to emphasize the emotional connection to the old arcade
Found the note you left behind
Discovering a message left behind, suggesting a past relationship
Said it happened over time
Noting that events unfolded gradually over time
Some crimes go unseen
Acknowledging hidden or unnoticed wrongdoings (crimes)
They just slip into the sea
Suggesting that some transgressions fade away without notice
By the old arcade
Reconnecting the setting with emotions, possibly regret
Ooh
Repeating emotional expression, reinforcing the connection
By the old arcade
Final repetition of emotional expression, closing the narrative
