Silverstein
Here Today Gone Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I'd feel so alone, that couldn't be less true.
Family travelling by my side.
Lifeline friends we can't deny.
See the world with you.
Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.
An icy road with no remorse.
A metal box drifting off course is taking everything.
I can't believe we lost you,
I can't feel any worse now.
This must be a dream.
When will someone wake me?
Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.
I won't forget.
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget.
All my life, I've never felt so strong as when we're all together.
All my days, I've never felt so powerless when you were taken away.
There's no one in this world with so much love and so much passion.
We'll say goodbye, but we won't forget the liberty and fortitude.
Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes.
Drive away from the past.
Don't be sad, don't feel sorrow.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget.
I won't forget.
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget.
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget.
(It's in our hearts, it's in our hearts)
I won't forget.
The lyrics of "Silverstein" by Here Today Gone Tomorrow describe the intense emotions that come with the loss of a loved one. The song begins with a description of a long road trip, seemingly with only the singer's family and closest friends for company, but despite the distance from home, they are not lonely because of the company they keep. The initial happiness and sense of adventure is abruptly turned on its head in the next verse, where they find themselves confronted with tragedy. The car they are travelling in swerves off the road and results in the loss of someone dear to them.
The chorus of the song then takes on a more poignant tone. They are saying their final goodbyes to their departed loved one and trying to move away from the grief of the past, but reminding themselves to hold onto the happy memories that they all shared together. The bridge of the song speaks to the intense love and passion that their loved one held, and how their absence has left a gaping hole in their lives.
All in all, the lyrics of "Silverstein" are a heart-wrenching tribute to the pain of losing someone close to you and attempting to find a way to move on. The song speaks to the power of love and happy memories in bearing the weight of grief.
