Lyrics

How far we've come

Reflecting on the journey and progress made over time.

Seems like it was yesterday

Perception that time has passed quickly, reminiscent of the past.

We were watching the bottles punctuate the waves

Recalling moments by the sea, with bottles symbolizing memories.

Back when we were young

Nostalgia for youth when everything seemed clear and significant.

We knew it all and nothing mattered

Confident in understanding life, feeling invincible.

Turns out we were right about the latter

Realization that being right about knowing nothing is a profound truth.


Here it goes again

Repetition of experiences, possibly indicating a recurring pattern.

Another seaward friend

Reference to a friend connected to the sea, suggesting a shared experience.

From our ghost town

Describing a place abandoned or devoid of life.

Watching it all burn down

Observing the destruction of the past, possibly metaphorical.

What was a dream

Transformation of a dream into a nostalgic memory.

Is now a memory

Highlighting the irreversibility of change and the past.

I can't relive on my own

Unable to recreate a past moment independently.


Just so you know

Declaration of a change in beliefs or principles.

I used to stand for something

Acknowledgment of a previous commitment to something.

What's the point of standing at all?

Rethinking the purpose of standing for a cause.

This is an all-time low

Expression of a low point or difficult situation.

The bars where we once used to play

Transformation of places of joy into symbols of decay.

Are now a monument to our decay


Here it goes again

Repetition, emphasizing the cyclical nature of experiences.

Another seaward friend

Reiteration of a connection with the sea and friendship.

From our ghost town

Recalling the destruction of a place with emotional significance.

Watching it all burn down

What was a dream

Reiteration of the transformation of a dream into a memory.

Is now a memory

Emphasizing the inability to relive the past independently.

I can't relive on my own


Here it goes again

Repetition, reinforcing the cyclical theme in the narrative.

Another seaward friend

From our ghost town
