All These Days
Embracing Life's Tapestry: Will Cookson's Reflections in 'All These Days'
Lyrics
On city streets the cinemas
City streets, cinemas, old cafes, and beat-up bars represent familiar places where memories were created.
and old cafes and beat up bars
These locations imitate or remind the speaker of the haunts from the past.
imitate the haunts we used to know
Reflecting on memories and places from the past that hold significance.
Fresh seeds spinning in the wind
Symbolic imagery of fresh opportunities or new beginnings, with chapters of life yet to unfold.
with new chapters yet to begin
The speaker acknowledges the ongoing journey of life and the continuous learning process of letting go.
and still I'm trying to learn to let go
Despite the new possibilities, the speaker struggles with releasing the past.
And live in the moment without regret
Desire to embrace the present without dwelling on past mistakes or missed opportunities.
And savour the life that we've got left
Encouragement to appreciate and enjoy the current phase of life.
And all these days
Repetition emphasizing the passage of time and the accumulation of experiences.
And all these days
-Amid the haze
-Of all these days
-All that time I wished away
Regret for wishing away time in the past and only realizing its value in hindsight.
Just looking back on yesterday
Reflecting on the act of looking back at yesterday with a sense of yearning.
yearning for the past with all those ghosts
Longing for the past, haunted by memories and the presence of past experiences.
So hold me in those arms again
Expressing a desire for comfort and closeness, seeking solace in familiar arms.
let's forget about the tears and pain
Suggesting the importance of moving beyond tears and pain to discover new places and experiences.
and find another new place we can go
Embracing the idea of finding fresh opportunities and a different path in life.
And live in the moment without regret
Reiteration of the desire to live in the present without being burdened by past regrets.
And savour the light that we've got left
Encouragement to appreciate the positive aspects of life that still exist.
In all these days
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing nature of days passing and being lost in the haze of time.
In all these days
-Lost in the haze
-Of all these days
