Missing Those Days
Gentleman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

the more tings change
is the more they remain the same
sorrow joy and pain
reality of life dis a no game

missing those days again
when we used to open hearts for friend
everything a change from now and then
but livity knows no end and we can't pretend

losing your spirit on your journey to desire
you no longer able to listen the angels choir
how you get so cold tell me where is your fire
from laughter joy and love you retire
we movin on in time on des ya life wire
but never lose your ground when you want get higher
take time look at the world you admire
now you ago find out that to yourself you are the greatest liar
and causin calamities and me friend it is a pitty
misunderstanding envy and jealosy
always finding me guilty
impossible to see
nothin a wrong with a likkle contreversy
you don't know where you from
so tell me where will you go
it takes more than memories for love to show
no man is an island des you fi know
like water over sand make we flow those

opportunity ina your palm
to cultivate the good and then keep it warm
but bless then more now we see that a gwaan
and yet we find it so contrary
it could be scary
communication fi reborn
yes we hafi keep the source of life goin on
eternal intention it hafi be calm
so me sing a song
deeper the density
another intensity
on my face you won't find a frown
in my heart i can feel it a pound
say you a listen but you nuh hear the sound

and you a spinnin like a merry go round
trust so priceless don't abuse it
define disgression and ways to use it
caution and careful not to refuse it
hold on to your love or you're about to lose it
the more tings change
is the more they remain the same
sorrow joy and pain
reality of life dis a no game
hey burnin flame
togetherness is surely no shame




one god and one aim
dis a di destiny that we supposed to claim

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gentleman's "Missing Those Days" talk about the eternal truths and realities of life that remain unchanged amidst the constant changes that we experience. The song opens with the line "the more tings change, is the more they remain the same," suggesting that while things around us may change, the essence of life, such as joy, pain, and sorrow, remains the same. The song talks about how life is not a game, and we must accept the reality of it.

The song then addresses how we lose our spiritual selves on our journey to fulfill our desires, causing us to become cold and unable to appreciate the beauty around us. The lyrics also talk about how we create discord through misunderstanding, envy, jealousy, and sometimes, we are the greatest liar to ourselves. The song concludes with the message of holding onto trust, love, and togetherness and living a life with a purpose, and embracing the destiny we are meant to claim.


Overall, the song conveys a message of living a life full of purpose and intention, acknowledging the different realities of life such as joy and pain, and maintaining openness towards oneself and others.
