The Decline
Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's hard, because there's nothing left of you
And I can see you're not the same
You used to be so strong, but time has changed you
You turned away
I keep on trying and trying to escape from the past
Because those days used to mean so much
We were Straight Edge and at least I still am
Did you forget about what we said?
Or did it just not mean that much?
Sitting with my head in my hands
Wondering what happened to us
Now only a whisper remains of the person I once knew
We came, we conquered those days
But now, now you're gone
Don't tell me you're the same
Because you gave your heart away
And in return you got nothing
"The Decline" is a song by the Canadian punk band, Champion, released on their 2004 album, "Promises Kept". The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a past relationship that he once shared with the person of interest. He expresses his sadness about the fact that there is nothing left of this person and that time has now changed them, leading them to turn away. The singer's thoughts keep drifting to memories of the past, where he and this person stood by each other's side, united by Straight Edge- a lifestyle that advocates for sobriety and living a positive life. The lyrics go on to suggest that the person has since given up on this way of life, leading to the collapse of their bond. The singer is left wondering if their shared values ever meant anything to the person he once knew, and now only whispers of the person remain.
The song speaks to the idea of growth and change in relationships, and how people tend to drift apart as their ways of thinking change. It touches on the fact that people sometimes give up on the things that they once believed in and the impact that has on their relationships. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of loss and sorrow for what once was.
