Pallet Town
Free Throw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to drink away the years
Of believing what you wrote in my yearbook
There's no changing the direction those years took now
And we'll play our favorite songs
And we'll have to sing a long
To pretend that we're reliving the old days
I'll pretend that you aren't stuck in your old ways now
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
And why I'm not over it
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
And why I'm not over it
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
And why I'm not over it
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
Still not over it
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
Still not over it
It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
i'm Still not over it
and thats pretty plain to see.
The song Pallet Town by Free Throw explores the theme of nostalgia and how it can hold us back from moving on. The lyrics describe a person who, after years of holding onto memories of a past relationship, attempts to escape their emotional baggage by drinking and reminiscing with friends. However, even as they try to recreate the past, they cannot shake off the feeling of being stuck in time, unable to let go of what once was.
The song's chorus highlights the frustration that comes with holding onto memories and not being able to move forward. The line "It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius to figure out the reasons behind all of this" suggests that the singer is struggling to make sense of their emotions and why they cannot let go. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer is stuck in an endless cycle of nostalgia and cannot seem to break free.
Overall, Pallet Town is a poignant commentary on the difficulty of letting go of the past and moving forward. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to come to terms with a past relationship and the memories that come with it, ultimately leaving them feeling hopeless and stuck.
