Living in the past
CCS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The things I tell myself not to do
I never learn my lesson
It's just so hard not to cave into you
Oh I can't go back
It's already been done
Learning as you go
I may regret it but it feels so good
Living in the moment
I never said it but boy your love is
Just the right component
But why do I keep getting
Into old habits that I used to do (used to do)
I know it's bad, but I love the high
Especially when I'm with you (with you)
Oh I can't go back
It's already been done
Learning as you go
When you are young
I may regret it but it feels so good
Living in the moment
I never said it but boy your love is
Just the right component
Oooooh
You learn more about life as you go
I just wanted you to know
I may regret it but it feels so good
Living in the moment
I never said it but boy your love is
Just the right component
I may regret it but it feels so good
Living in the moment
I never said it but boy your love is
Just the right component
The lyrics of CCS's song "Living In The Past" delve into the internal struggle of grappling with one's past mistakes and the allure of indulging in forbidden actions. The singer expresses a sense of frustration and confusion over repeatedly engaging in behaviors that they know are detrimental and contrary to their best interests. Despite their inner warnings and self-imposed regulations, they find themselves unable to resist the temptation presented by someone else, symbolized as "you" in the lyrics.
The lyrics convey a sentiment of youthful recklessness and a lack of foresight, where the singer acknowledges their propensity to repeat past errors and the challenges of learning from their experiences. The refrain "Oh I can't go back, It's already been done" suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of the irreversible nature of their actions, emphasizing the importance of acquiring wisdom through trial and error while navigating through life's complexities.
The conflicting emotions of pleasure and regret are intricately woven into the lyrics, as the singer grapples with the immediate gratification derived from living in the moment juxtaposed against the potential long-term consequences of their choices. The intoxicating allure of being in the present and experiencing the euphoria of love, as described by the line "boy your love is Just the right component," further underscores the internal conflict faced by the singer.
The final verses of the song highlight a sense of introspection and personal growth, encapsulated in the acknowledgment that "You learn more about life as you go." This realization serves as a poignant reminder of the continuous process of self-discovery and self-improvement, despite the inevitable missteps and regrets along the way. The repeated affirmations of finding solace and happiness in the present moment, underscored by the assertion that "boy your love is Just the right component," encapsulate the singer's journey towards self-awareness and embracing the complexities of living in the present.
