Times We Had
Kid Mac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The memories come and go these days (yeah)
But how I wish that they would stay
We watch them fade away
Do memories fade away?
The times we had
The times we had

The laughs, the memories, the dreams we held
The bumps, the bruises, the failure to excel
Bright lights flashing attracted to the fast life
10 years passing now wishing for the past life
Take a picture make it last
All the times we had we will never forget
Dam straight it was a blast
All the times we had no we never will regret

The pain, the secrets, the tears we cried
The aging pictures will never lie
Side by side and experienced the phases
Memories don't lie, living through the madness
Take a picture make it last
All the times we had we will never forget
Dam straight it was a blast
All the times we had no we never will regret

Bridge
(Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
I can feel the whispers from you
Coming back to life
(Whoa, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)




I can feel the whispers from you
Coming back to life

Overall Meaning

The song "Times We Had" by Kid Mac is a reflection on memories and how they eventually fade away. The first verse starts with the acknowledgment that memories come and go but we wish they would stay. The lyrics ask whether memories fade away and reminisce about the times they had. The second verse talks about the different experiences they shared, the good and the bad times, the fast-paced life that they were attracted to, and the nostalgia they feel now, wishing to go back to those days. The chorus reiterates the importance of holding on to memories and not forgetting the times they had. The bridge highlights the feelings of the person who has experienced the memories coming back to life, whispering to them.


The song's theme is about how experiences shape us as individuals and how memories play a significant role in that process. Memories help us understand who we are and where we come from. They teach us how to love, how to heal, and how to grow. When we reflect on the times we had, we become aware of our past mistakes and accomplishments, and it helps us make informed decisions in the future. The song indicates that we should always cherish the memories we have, no matter how painful or joyful they may be. They are a part of us that will never fade away entirely.
