Used to be, you and me forever boy,
Your plans, became my plans,
My friends, became your friends
You even have the same that ringtone
When you call me I will get this song
When I called you, you'll get the same one

The things had changed, nothing is the same

Our love and the way boy, now when you kiss me,
I don't feel a damn thing
It's a shame

(Chorous)
Can we go back in time,
When I was yours, you were mine
Love was good, I used to shine
Cause now, it sounds like a played out recordAnd it hurts, and it hurts me Yes it hurts me!

The feelin' that I used to feel for you
(Is gone) It's so gone, it's so gone
It's so wrong, (so wrong)
The joy that I used to get from you
(Is gone) It's so gone, it's so gone
It's so wrong, (so wrong)

The things don't change, nothing is the same
Our love and the way boy,
Now when you touch me, It's not the same
It's a shame

(Chorous)
Can we go back in time,
When I was yours, you were mine
Love was good, I used to shine
'Cause now, it sounds like a played out record And it hurts, and it hurts me Yes it hurts me!

(Bridge)
See, when we started out, our love was good,
Then suddenly, something is changed,
And you ain't giving me the sweet love, you used to give me
I hope we can get it back, to how we used to be, 'cause I miss that

(Repeat Chorous - 4x)

Overall Meaning

The song “Played Out Record” by Chelsy Shantel reflects on the changes in a relationship and how the love that was once shining and heartfelt, has now become dull and unsatisfactory. The song starts by highlighting how the singer and her partner were once inseparable, and everything was perfect, with even their friends having fused into one group. They had the same ringtone and shared many other things, showing how close they were.

However, the relationship takes a turn for the worst and gradually loses its beauty and warmth. The love diminishes, and she can’t feel anything when he kisses her anymore. The chorus then represents her desires to go back to the time when their relationship was vibrant, and their love was good, which now sounds like a "played out record" or an overused and tiring song. She expresses her deep sense of pain and loss due to the damaged and deteriorating state of her relationship.

The bridge further elaborates on how their relationship started off well, but things changed, and she feels that her partner is no longer giving her the same affection he used to. She hopes they can find their way back to the love they had before because she misses it. The song is a poignant reflection on how relationships can change over time, but we always wish to go back to the good times.
