Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song She Really Loved You by Reach the Sky is a heartfelt piece that delves into the struggle of moving on after losing someone special. The lyrics are poignant and draw out emotions that many people can relate to. The singer feels disillusioned and consumed by sadness, as he yearns for the solace of past memories that are now slipping away. He misses the person he lost and wishes that he could go back to a time when he was not so consumed by fear and worry.
The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the singer speaks of how much time he has wasted wishing and wondering what he could have done differently to recapture his past. He is stuck in the past and feels like he is losing touch with the only piece of the person he has left. As his memories begin to fade, he becomes more anxious that he will forget everything that he cherished about the person he lost. The second verse is about the fear and anxiety that he experiences every night as he wonders if he will ever be able to move on. He cries himself to sleep, hoping that tomorrow will be a little easier.
This song is a beautiful tribute to love, loss, and healing. It is a reminder that moving on is not easy, but the memories that we hold close can give us solace and comfort in times of grief.

Wished I didn't hear the FYS cover of this amazing song. It will take a few listens of the original to help me forget that nasty harmonization...now I remember why I am stuck in the past when it comes to music!

Instruments are excellent, but vocals do not do the lyrics justice.

Four Year Strong's cover is better. Now I'm not saying this is a bad song. It's a great song. Reach the Sky wrote it beautifully, but with only one singer half bellowing it, it will never reach its full potential.

I haven’t heard it but I can say that it’s not.

@Ozan GÜNER objectively speaking on it's musicality, the FYS version is better
Ozan GÜNER
KayJoRum fuck off. This is it's full potential. This is a hardcore punk song not a fucking pop punk song. FYS covered it nicely, did it justice in their own genre but it isn't even close to this
