1920
PK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way
But for now all we need are good friends
Cold nights we will not forget

My brother's home in the darkness
Oh I remember how she was still
It haunts me in my evenings
Where will this set me in the stars?
And I believe that you belong to someone else
It's not what you say, but more the weight in your voice
She smiles and rolls her eyes and
In the darkness says she don't desire him no more
When he comes around

Woo-hoo-hoo

Get up, get up kid
Don't give up the fight
Get up, get up kid
Don't you dare forget me
Get up, get up

Way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way
But for now all we need are good friends
Cold nights we will not forget

And way out, held up under Western Sky
I guess I need to say it aloud
Or I'm afraid that I'll regret
Pretty soon boys, we'll all go our own way and




But for now all we need are good friends
Cold nights we will not forget

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in PK's song 1920 evoke a bittersweet nostalgia for the past and a wistful resignation about the future. The opening lines set the scene under a Western sky, perhaps suggesting a moment of reflection in a wide-open landscape. The singer confesses that they need to say something aloud, indicating their need to express their thoughts and feelings before it's too late. The chorus emphasizes the importance of friendship in the face of life's inevitable changes and challenges, particularly during cold nights that will be remembered for their significance.


The second verse shifts the focus to a personal memory that haunts the singer, which appears to involve a woman who belongs to someone else. The weight in her voice implies that she feels conflicted about their relationship, but she ultimately decides to move on from him when he comes around. The repeated phrase "Woo-hoo-hoo" adds an emotional intensity to the song's lament. In the final chorus, the singer once again emphasizes the importance of good friends in the face of the future's uncertainty.


Overall, PK's 1920 is a poignant reflection on the past and a contemplation of the future that is both introspective and universal. The song's emotional power comes from the way it captures the fear of regret and the need for connection in our lives.
