So Sad
Navigating Lost Dreams: TheCityIsOurs' Sobering Reflection
Lyrics
Used to want the same things
Expressing a past desire for shared goals or aspirations
Used to speak our minds
Recalling a time of open communication and honesty
But out of the blue
Sudden change or unexpected event
Changed your point of view
Shift in perspective or attitude
Used to want the same things
Repetition of the desire for common goals
Used to speak our minds
Reiteration of past open communication
But out of the blue
Repetition of a sudden change in perspective
Changed your point of view
Reaffirmation of a changed viewpoint
Used to dare to dream big
Recalling a time of daring to dream big
But now I’ve come to find
Realization that dreams are not being fulfilled
You never come through
Expressing disappointment in unfulfilled promises
It’s sad but it’s true
Acknowledging the sadness of the situation
So I’ll carry on without you
Determination to move forward without the other person
And it’s so, so sad
Reiterating the sorrowful nature of the situation
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
Reflecting on missed opportunities in the past
And it’s so, so bad
Emphasizing the severity of the current situation
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Expressing the difficulty in maintaining the same feelings
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-I can’t face the future,
Expressing reluctance towards a conventional future
Doing a nine to five and not the things that I like
Desire for a more fulfilling life outside a traditional job
Pawn in a system when I could’ve been king,
Feeling constrained by societal expectations
But through everything they couldn’t care if I lived or died
Sense of neglect or indifference from others
The game is up
Realization of the conclusion of a situation
The time is now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment
I rode my luck
Having taken risks in the past
Went all in but now
Past efforts that did not yield the expected outcome
It’s so, so sad
Reiterating the sadness of missed opportunities
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
Reflecting on what could have been in a regretful tone
And it’s so, so bad
Emphasizing the gravity of the current emotional state
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Expressing the disconnection in current feelings
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-I wonder what you must be thinking of me
Curiosity about the other person's thoughts
It’s time that you thought it aloud
Encouraging open communication and reflection
With my head in the clouds and my heart on my sleeve
Being emotionally invested but detached
I never wanted to come down
Reluctance to face reality
Now everything that we ever went through
Feeling that shared experiences meant nothing
It feels like it must’ve meant nothing to you
Perceived lack of significance in shared history
Don’t pretend, all good comes to an end
Acknowledging the inevitability of endings
And it’s so, so sad
Reiterating the sadness of unfulfilled potential
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
Reflecting on lost opportunities with regret
And it’s so, so sad
Reiteration of the emotional weight of missed chances
To think of all the little things that we could’ve had
Reflecting on what could have been with sorrow
And it’s so, so bad
Emphasizing the severity of the current emotional state
‘Cos we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
Expressing the disconnect in current emotions
Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-Yeah we tried so hard but we don't feel the same right now
-I can’t help but feeling that this is the end
Feeling that the situation has reached its conclusion
I can’t help you see that you’re wrong
Acknowledging the other person's perspective
I don’t want to leave it but I can’t pretend
Reluctance to continue pretending or denying reality
So let this go
Acceptance of the need to let go
