Yesterday
Embracing Memories: Reflections on Past Love's Departure
Lyrics
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Reflecting on a past time when troubles seemed distant and insignificant.
Now it look's as though
Expressing the current realization that those troubles are persistent and enduring.
They're here to stay
Acknowledging that the troubles are likely to remain present.
Oh I believe in Yesterday
Affirming a belief in the better and less troublesome past (Yesterday).
Suddenly i'm not half the man, I used to be
Feeling a significant personal decline or loss, losing one's former self.
There's a shadow hanging over me
Describing a lingering sense of darkness or negativity.
Oh Yesterday came suddenly
Highlighting the sudden and unexpected arrival of this troubled state.
Why she have to go, I don't know
Pondering the reason for a loved one's departure.
She wouldn't say i said something wrong
Suspecting that a verbal mistake may have played a role in the departure.
Now I long for Yesterday
Expressing a deep longing for the happier times of Yesterday.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Recalling a time when love was easy and enjoyable.
Now I need a place to hide away
Presently needing a place of refuge or solace.
Oh I believe in Yesterday
Reaffirming a belief in the happiness and simplicity of Yesterday.
Why she had to go, I don't know
Reiterating the uncertainty about the reason for the loved one's departure.
She wouldn't say i said something wrong
Speculating that a misunderstood statement may have led to the separation.
Now I long for Yesterday
Expressing an enduring yearning for the past (Yesterday).
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Recalling a time when love was carefree and uncomplicated.
Now I need a place to hide away
Currently seeking a place to retreat from difficulties.
Oh I believe in Yesterday in Yesterday
Affirming a continued belief in the happiness of Yesterday.
