Nostalgia
ALI PROJECT Lyrics

The lyrics to ALI PROJECT's song "Nostalgia" paint a vivid picture of a scenery filled with various elements that seem to be coming together to evoke a strong sense of longing for the past. The first stanza talks about a street lined with small lamps flickering one by one, leading to the foot of a mountain where a train like one from a fairy tale travels. This setting takes the listener back to their younger days where imagination and fantasy were boundless, and everything around us seemed larger than life.

The second stanza then introduces the concept of memories and how they can transport us back to our childhood days. The singer speaks of how they're not sure what carries them back to the time of their youth, whether it's a small boat floating on the grass or the sound of an owl in the forest. As they hear their name being called out, they turn back to see a happy familiar face waving at them. The emotions of nostalgia and longing for the past and loved ones have been captured in these lines.

The third stanza emphasizes that there are times when words aren't enough to express the emotions that are overflowing within us. Looking at the fireflies dancing in the twilight, hearing the rustling of leaves and the soft whisper of the wind, the singer feels as though they're enveloped in the warmth and gentleness of the people who once loved them. The final lines about a small version of the singer holding onto their dream and the white flowers that dance on the road as they walk, indicate that the past may be behind them, but it holds the key to their future.
