The lyrics to Atari's song Best of Friends center around the idea of losing a friendship due to a lie and the regret and pain that comes with it. The first lines of the verse set the tone for the rest of the song, lamenting the passing of time and how it can end a friendship. The singer remembers what their friend said and how they don't want to lose another friend due to a "fucking lie" that has become a trend.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their desire for the friendship to last, but acknowledges that it's hard to move on from the past. The line "So now we walk away and pretend we never truly cared" reveals the hurt and complications that come with the end of a friendship. Despite this, the singer still holds onto the memories of their time as best friends and hopes for a kind greeting should they ever meet again.
Overall, this song explores the emotions and realities of losing a friendship due to dishonesty and the lasting impact it can have on those involved. It reminds listeners to cherish the people in their lives and to avoid getting caught up in the trend of deceitfulness that can destroy relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Days become years and bring friendship to an end.
Time passes and sometimes causes friendships to fade away.
Choices become regret, I remember what you said.
Decisions we make can lead to feelings of remorse, and I recall your words.
I won`t lose another friend to a fucking lie that`s a fuckin` trend.
I refuse to let another friendship end due to a false narrative that is popular.
But if you turn away there`s nothing I can say.
If you choose to walk away, there's nothing I can do to stop you or change your mind.
All I want is for this to last but it`s hard when I can`t change the past.
My desire is for this friendship to continue but it's challenging when I cannot alter what has already happened.
So now we walk away and pretend we never truly cared.
We part ways and act as though we didn't actually care about one another.
I know that's not true cuz I can`t forget the times we`ve shared.
I recognize that's not accurate because I cannot forget the experiences and moments we had together.
So when we pass eachother let`s lift our heads and not pretend that just two years back we didn`t call eachother the best of friends.
In the future when we encounter each other, let's acknowledge each other without denying that we were once incredibly close.
We used to be the best of friends!
We were once the closest of friends.
