My Friends Forever
Eternal Bonds: Nostalgia and Friendship in 'My Friends Forever'
Lyrics
Northbound train on a Saturday night
Reflecting on a northbound train journey on a Saturday night
Got me thinking bout you
Contemplating thoughts about someone special
And the way you had my back
Appreciating the support and loyalty of a friend
When I started to scrap with a stranger
Recalling a past altercation with a stranger at a haunted bar
At the bar we used to go to but it's haunted now
Describing the bar's haunting atmosphere due to memories
With the memory of someone I wanna forget
Expressing a desire to forget someone associated with the bar
On the night i threw my arms around you
Embracing a friend on a specific night to show deep care
I tried to show you how much i care
Attempting to convey strong feelings through the embrace
One the night i threw my arms around you
Repeating the significant night of the heartfelt embrace
You didn't leave before the start of the show
Noticing the friend's presence during the start of an event
I know you'll ride until i die
Believing in the enduring loyalty of the friend until death
My friends forever
Affirming a lasting friendship with the phrase "My friends forever"
Running West to meet a girl i like
Heading west to meet a romantic interest
Got me listenin' to ya
Listening to advice or thoughts about the romantic interest
And I'm feeling gone with the wind
Feeling emotionally affected, reminiscent of "gone with the wind"
Wish i could tell you that over a drink
Desiring to share feelings over a drink, referencing the past bar
At the bar we used to go to but now it's cabaret
Noting changes in the bar, now transformed into a cabaret
and I ain't been
Expressing a lack of recent visits to the transformed bar
Maybe I should go someday?
Contemplating the idea of visiting the bar someday
So, I plead: drop your phones
Urging to disconnect from technology and cherish friendships
Hold your mates (before it's too late)
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto friendships before it's too late
On the night i threw my arms around you
Recalling another night of embracing a friend with laughter
We laughed like we were eternal kids
Reveling in the joy of the embrace, feeling youthful
On the night i threw my arms around you
Reiterating the significance of the night, the last time saying goodbye
It was the last time that we both said goodbye
Reflecting on the final farewell and expressing sorrow
And so I cry into the sky
Crying and grieving for the enduring friendship into the sky
My friends forever
Concluding with the affirmation of lasting friendship
