Same Old Song
Pietasters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you love was a favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories of a different lover that used to be
(chorus: Now it's the same old song, but with a different meaning
since you've been gone. It's the same old song, but with a different
meaning since you've been gone.)
But the melody, keeps haunting me, reminding me of the love we used to
be
I keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart singing
Ever, forever, darling, breaking up never
(Chorus)
Precious memories keep lingering on, every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone, there's just emptiness.
I only reminisce the happiness is true
We used to dance to the music, make romance to the music
(chorus)x3
The lyrics of Pietasters' Same Old Song talks about the pain of a lover who has been left heartbroken by their former lover. The lover was sweet, but like a honey bee sting, they left the singer in pain. A particular song that they used to dance to all night long was significant in their relationship. The chorus, "Now it's the same old song, but with a different meaning since you've been gone," emphasizes the fact that the song that was once a reminder of their love is now a reminder of the pain of separation.
The singer is a sentimental fool, who gets emotional when they hear the love song they once shared with their former lover. The melody keeps haunting them, reminding them of the love they used to be. The line, "Ever, forever, darling, breaking up never," emphasizes the depth of the love they once shared. However, now that their lover is gone, the memories that linger on every time they hear the song only bring emptiness, and they reminisce the happiness that once was.
