Young Lost Love
Appleby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the middle of October (I I I I)
If the season's switching over
Ain't no reason to be sober (I I I I)
I hear children and their laughter
I forget what I am after (I I I I)
You meant to grow your family tree
Know your responsibilities (I I I I)
I smile through the pain, listen to the rain
As it bumps off the window
[?] God as a renter
Oh
I still try by the [?] thinking about you and I
But there's nothing left to gain by looking at the rain
It's reminder reminder that we are not the same anymore
Life is hopeless, hope you know this
Don't know what to do
Life is hopeless, hope you know this
Life's just not the same without you,
Don't know what to do
Life's just not the same without you,
Don't know what to do
Life is hopeless, hope you know this
Don't know what to do
In Appleby's song "Young Lost Love," the singer is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines, "I can't seem to say it's over / It's the middle of October," suggest that time has passed since the breakup, but the singer is still holding on. The changing of the seasons only adds to this feeling, as the world around them seems to be moving on while they remain stuck in the past.
The chorus, "Life is hopeless, hope you know this / Don't know what to do / Life's just not the same without you," highlights the singer's sense of hopelessness and desperation. They are unable to find meaning or purpose without their former partner, and the memories of their past together continue to haunt them. However, despite this overwhelming sadness, the singer still finds moments of beauty in the world around them. They hear the sound of children's laughter and momentarily forget their pain, but ultimately, the reminder that they are no longer with their loved one is too much to bear.
Overall, "Young Lost Love" offers a poignant and heartfelt portrayal of the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. It captures the feeling of being stuck in time, unable to move forward even as the world around us changes.
