nostalgia
Nao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You feel like summer
You bring me back to life
You got me reminiscing 'bout a better time
I'm feeling lonely, I want your paradise
If I stay here from your cloud of vapour eyes

You got me feeling like, ooh, my love
All day you'll remember, our baby
You had me feeling like, ooh, my love
Dreaming of September
Oh, it's all about you

It's just the way nostalgia makes me feel
Ain't nobody better than you
I like the way nostalgia makes me feel
There ain't nobody better than you

Blew me away, out of reality
You had me recollecting 'bout a better life
I'm feeling caught up, lost to insanity
And if I stay out here, I might just crystallise

You got me feeling like, ooh, my love
All day you'll remember, our baby
You had me feeling like, ooh, my love
Dreaming of September
Oh, it's all about you

It's just the way nostalgia makes me feel
Ain't nobody better than you
I like the way nostalgia makes me feel
There ain't nobody better than you

That affects me in the ways, that only you do

There ain't nobody better than you

Just take me to a place of honey and dew

'Cause there ain't nobody better than you

I'm soaking up your rays of you

There ain't nobody better than you

Cherishing the way, that only you do

There ain't nobody better than you





That elevates my heart into a new

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nao's song "Nostalgia" evoke strong emotions of longing and reminiscence, as the singer reflects on a brighter past and seeks solace in the embrace of a beloved partner. The song begins with the image of summer, a season associated with warmth, happiness, and carefree joy, which is juxtaposed with the singer's current loneliness and yearning for the comfort of their lover. The use of the word "nostalgia" in the chorus suggests that the singer is looking back on a time when they were happier with a sense of wistfulness and melancholy. The repetition of the phrase "ain't nobody better than you" underscores the central role that the partner plays in the singer's life, and the intensity of their feelings for them.


The second verse reinforces this theme of escape and refuge, as the singer imagines being "blown away" from reality by their lover's presence. The imagery of "crystallizing" suggests a deep freeze or stasis, as the singer fears being trapped in their current state without the connection they crave. The final lines of the song convey a sense of renewal and hope, as the singer describes being lifted up by their partner's love into a new realm of emotion. Overall, "Nostalgia" portrays the intersection of memory and desire, and the ways in which love can provide a balm for even the most painful moments of the past.
