Calling Yesterday
Embracing Tomorrow's Salvation: Calling Yesterday by The Nixons
Lyrics
Here we are again beneath these stars
Reflecting on the present moment beneath the stars.
All the same not changing who we are
Despite the passage of time, individuals remain true to themselves.
We must have walked these roads a thousand times
Repeated experience of traversing familiar paths.
But never stopped to notice what we're missing
Failure to appreciate the details and essence of the journey.
What you're missing
Highlighting a sense of personal neglect or oversight.
The old man bends to plant another seed
An elderly person planting seeds for a better future.
For now, for when, for greener memories
Investing in the future for the sake of positive memories.
We must have walked these roads a thousand times
Repetition of walking familiar paths without reflection.
Never stops to notice what he's missing
Similar to line 4, emphasizing the lack of awareness.
Calling yesterday
Expressing a desire to revisit or rectify the past.
Come and save us with tomorrow
Seeking salvation or improvement in the future.
And I'll say calling yesterday
Reiteration of the desire to connect with the past.
Come and save us if you can
Asking for salvation or improvement if possible.
Trees of steel are rising through these minds
Metaphor of steel trees representing modern obstacles.
Choose what you see and never look behind
Choosing to focus on the present without looking back.
We must have walked these roads a thousand times
Repetition of neglecting the essence of familiar paths.
But never stopped to notice what we're missing
Reiterating the failure to notice what's essential.
Calling yesterday
Repetition of the desire to reconnect with the past.
Come and save us with tomorrow
Seeking improvement or salvation through the future.
And I'll say calling yesterday
Reiteration of the call to the past for guidance.
Come and save us if you can
Requesting help or improvement if it's possible.
Show me to the end
Expressing a desire to understand the conclusion or purpose.
If you can, show me that again
Asking for a repeat or clarification of a significant event.
Here we are again beneath these stars
Reiteration of the initial reflection beneath the stars.
Calling yesterday
Repeating the call to the past for salvation or guidance.
Come and save us with tomorrow
Repetition of seeking improvement or salvation in the future.
And I'll say calling yesterday
Reiteration of the call to the past for assistance.
Come and save us if you can
Asking for help or improvement if it is achievable.
