How We Were Before
Rediscovering Lost Moments: How We Were Before by The Zombies
Lyrics
The party's over
The celebration or enjoyable time has come to an end.
Don't break it
Caution not to ruin or spoil the current situation.
Gradually through on us
Changes or developments happening gradually among us.
Shows us
Reveals or indicates something to us.
How we were before
Reflects on how things used to be in the past.
Why we waited
Questioning the reasons for waiting.
Been so lonely
Feeling isolated and alone.
Continually lone to be
Continuously experiencing loneliness.
Again
Expresses a desire to return to a previous state.
How we were before
Reflects on how things used to be in the past (repeated theme).
And as you waited for me
Addressing someone who waited for the speaker.
We will be together
Anticipation of being together with the person who waited.
And as you've waited for me
Reiteration of the waiting theme, suggesting commitment.
I'll leave you again
Implying separation or departure despite waiting.
Never ever
Commitment to never leave again.
So remember we were lucky
Recalling fortunate moments in the past.
Mercifully turned to be again
Thankfully returning to a previous state.
How we were before
Reflects on how things used to be in the past (repeated theme).
And as you waited for me
Reiteration of someone waiting for the speaker.
We will be together
Anticipation of a future reunion with the person waiting.
And as you've waited for me
Reiteration of the waiting theme, reinforcing commitment.
I'll leave you again
Suggesting a repeated cycle of leaving despite waiting.
Never ever
Reaffirmation of the commitment to never leave again.
So remember we were lucky
Recollection of being fortunate in the past.
Mercifully turned to be again
Gratefully returning to a previous state (repeated theme).
How we were before
Reflects on how things used to be in the past (repeated theme).
