Nostalgia
Late Nite Reading Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I really must say,
Man, I miss being young,
in every single way.
Nostalgia's got the best of me,
ad I'm a fan of nothing new,
'cause the past is golden,
and there's nothing to improve.
So here I am,
alone again,
Thinking about the glory days.
It's what it is,
we're 90's kids,
it won't ever change.
It was great when we had it,
but you don't realize when
everyone wants to get older
but you forget what you'll miss.
I want to build a time machine,
but nothing really seems to work,
my flux capacitor's broken
and man, it really hurts.
Nostalgia's got the best of me.
And I"m I fan of nothing new.
Because the past is silver.
And there's nothing to improve.
Late Nite Reading's song "Nostalgia" explores the phenomenon of longing for the past, specifically the carefree days of youth. The lyrics open with the admission that the singer is a "creature of habit," implying a certain resistance to change. The chorus reveals that the singer misses being young in "every single way" and that nostalgia has a hold on them. The verse expands on this feeling, with the singer proclaiming that they are a "fan of nothing new" because the past is "golden" and cannot be improved upon. The specificity of "the 90's" further underscores the singer's longing for a specific period of their life.
The second verse shifts from the singer's personal feelings to addressing their generation as a whole. They acknowledge the inevitability of growing and changing, but lament that "you forget what you'll miss." The chorus is reprised, with the singer imagining building a time machine to return to the past. The reference to the "flux capacitor" is a nod to the time travel device in the "Back to the Future" film series, which also deals heavily with nostalgia for the past.
Overall, "Nostalgia" captures a feeling that many people can relate to - the desire to return to a time when things seemed simpler, less complicated, and more carefree. The specificity of the references to the 90s and pop culture of the time also contribute to the song's appeal to a certain age group.
