Jets From June
Nostalgic Echoes: Unveiling the Timeless Tale in "Jets From June" by The Current State
Lyrics
A look back in time to see
A reflection on the past to gain insight
Ruined lives in that small city
Observation of damaged lives in a small community
Outcomes undesired, all in all the same company
Undesirable outcomes shared by all, possibly due to a common factor or influence
Time had not changed, and nothing had remained
Time has not brought change, and nothing has endured
Intact forever until I day dream
Things remaining untouched until the speaker daydreams
Way back in school
Recollection of school experiences
Four walls painted blue
Describing the physical environment of school with blue-painted walls
Jamming out downstairs in the basement
Memories of playing music in the basement
Heartbeats go on forever
Suggesting enduring emotions with heartbeats going on forever
Step back into
Returning to a previous time
Times we played through
Revisiting moments from the past
Knew I should have forgot this place
Expressing regret about remembering a place
So long, goodbye, and forget you
Bidding farewell and trying to forget
So innocent at the time, you were always on my mind
Reflecting on innocence during a certain period, with someone always in mind
Now you'd be the last, person to who I'd give a dime
The person from the past is now least deserving of the speaker's support
I'd never call around, back in those visits to your town
Avoiding contact during visits to the person's town
Sad to say, I still dream of those long summer day
Despite negative associations, the speaker still dreams of pleasant summer days
