Another Sad Song
Lower Than Atlantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the summer,
Not a cloud in the sky.
Present day,
Things have changed,
Summer's over
And it rains here every day.
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
Don't cry,
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
But how so?
I'm only 21 years old.
I used to be so happy,
Now here's another sad song by a sad boy
Playing the saddest chords he knows.
Don't cry,
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
Don't cry,
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
Don't cry,
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
Don't cry,
We all make mistakes from time to time.
Unfortunately, for me,
Being me was mine.
The lyrics of "Another Sad Song" by Lower Than Atlantis delve into the theme of nostalgia and the hardships of growing up. The song begins with a flashback to 1999, where the singer remembers a time in his life where things were simpler and enjoyable. However, as the song progresses, the singer realizes that those times have passed, and things have changed. The present day is filled with rain and regret.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that everyone makes mistakes, but for the singer, his mistake was being himself. He feels as though his current situation is due to his own faults and regrets his choices. The repetition of "Don't cry, we all make mistakes from time to time, unfortunately for me, being me was mine" highlights the singer's remorse and self-blame.
The bridge presents the singer's current state of mind, where he admits to being a "sad boy" who plays the "saddest chords he knows." The lyrics emphasize the singer's emotional turmoil and suggest that he is stuck in a rut.
Overall, "Another Sad Song" by Lower Than Atlantis is a poignant expression of growing pains and the difficulties of transitioning from the nostalgic past to an uncertain future.

3 years ago, my best friend showed me this song. I instantly fell in love with it. I haven't spoken to him for the last year and a bit because he left my school for personal reasons. And I have drifted further and further apart. If you ever see this Simon, I miss you mate. I hope you got past all the shit that was going on in your life and I'm sorry I wasn't more supportive.

This is one of the most underrated songs ever made. I love this song not only for it's lyrics, but the emotion it immediately evokes. This song should have millions upon millions of views, and pop songs today that say nothing about love should have about 2 views. Let's get back to making real music like this popular again. Songs that actually means something.

Used to listen to this song with my homie Jacob on the long nights. I'm glad he introduced me to this amazing song. Hope he's resting easy in paradise. I love you Jake.
