Reminiscing
Datsunn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been facing truth, shedding skin that makes me blue
Want to shine like greys
Breaking through on a cloudy day, yeah

What is this new feeling?
How was I to see it?
Staring back at me
I lied so rather she could be the heat
I've been seeing visions of a future, oh so clear
Dream so deep, I wake up lucid
Living a life, I only hope is real

What is this new feeling? (ahh)
How was I to see it? (ohh)
Staring back at me

Gonna say less and just play this beat
Ohh hoo yeah
Ohh noo no

I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing
I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing

This makes me feel so good
All this makes me feel so bad
Everything I do, I think about it day and night

What is this new feeling?
I keep reminiscing

My mind is on repeat
Getting caught up, I can't seem to speak
All these visions that you wanna go and talk about
Thoughts that make no sense to me
Open your mind
I only hope you will see that this new
Feeling You keep reminiscing is really happening
Come all say less and just play this beat (uh)

I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing
I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing
I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing (oho, yeah)
I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing
I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing




I'm reminiscing
I keep reminiscing
