DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to go back where we were, how many years?
All my life I've found
Sometimes it's hard to [?]
Now I [?]
E c'era gi??, questo amore che viviamo, tanto tempo fa,
la tristezza in allegria
And why should we
Want to live a life that's passed and never more [will be]
The opening verse of the song "Part I" by DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist speaks about questioning the desire to go back to the past. The lyrics ponder why one would want to return to where they were, especially after having spent so many years moving away from that place. The lines suggest that time has changed the person, their life and outlook, and that going back to the past may not be possible or desirable.
The second verse talks about the struggles of life and how it can be difficult to find one's way or understand the path that one is on. The missing word in the lyric suggests that the journey ahead may have been uncertain and scattered, making it difficult to come to terms with. The section ends with lines that suggest that the struggles have been overcome, and the individual has found a way forward.
The third verse is in Italian and seems to suggest nostalgia for a love that existed a long time ago. The words translate to "And there was already, this love that we live, a long time ago, there was already, a rose that I gave you, the songs that I sang, the sadness in joy." This section stands out as being a reflection of a past love, and the emotions that it evokes.
