Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the song "Way Back When" by Reconcile, the artist reflects on his past involvement with a group and how so many faces have been forgotten over time. He talks about names being named followed by a tale, such as someone letting their hair grow long, and wonders what the one who told him that is doing now. He reflects on the memories of the group, including the way things were, the songs they'd sing, and all the plans they had made, but realizes that every last promise had gone unkept, with all the memories being spoiled. Despite this, the artist reminds his listeners that all of these memories were real and were important, and he's trying to make every day count.
The song contains a sense of nostalgia and reflection, as the artist recognizes that things were tough and things didn't turn out the way they planned. However, he's still grateful for the memories he had and the people he met, even if he doesn't see them anymore. He acknowledges that it's hard to keep going when everyone else is falling apart, but he's trying to make the most of his days.
Overall, "Way Back When" is a powerful reminder of the importance of memories, even the painful ones, and how they shape us into who we are today. The song is a call to make every day count and to not forget where we came from, even when it's hard.

I remember way back when I started getting involved with all this.
I recall the time when I first became a part of this community or group.
So many faces I don't see anymore.
There are many people who have left, and I no longer see them around.
Names were named followed by a tale, 'he even let his hair grow long'.
There were instances when people's names were brought up, and then a story was told about them, such as 'he even let his hair grow long.'
I wonder what the one who told me that is doing now.
I am curious about what the person who told me that particular story is doing now.
So what's the score so far?
What is the current status or situation?
A hundred souls forgotten and a bunch of us who are still trying to bring it down.
One hundred people have been forgotten or left, but there are still a few of us who are striving to make things work.
Believe me it is hard keeping yourself together while everyone else just falls apart.
It is difficult to maintain composure and stability when others around are struggling or giving up.
The way things were, and the songs we'd sing, and all the plans we've ever made, every last promise unkept are all the memories you spoiled.
Remembering the past, the songs we sang, the plans we made, and every unkept promise are now tainted with negative memories associated with you.
But here's me, remember me?, to remind you of all that cause it was there and it was real just like you and me.
But I am still here, reminding you of what used to be, because it was genuine and authentic, just like you and me.
My days are running out I'm trying to make them count in everything I do.
Time is fleeting, and I am striving to make the most of every moment in all that I do.

Maturity. .. people don’t understand taking a break/breaking up isn’t all the way bad. Sometimes we need a break to reflect and slow down

So true! I had to do a self eval. And it helped me grow.

This! Because sometimes we may be incompatible and timing is everything. Not all breakups are bad.

I really like that they showcased a younger couple because it gives you insight on the variations of married life. They were so sweet!!!

A soul tie is strong thing. You can sense the other person, their movements and emotions when there is one.

Going through the same thing , the same way. I know me and my person are supposed to marry. But, universe said we we have to work on ourselves first and then come back together. Been 3 weeks and at first i couldn't get out of bed. But once i started getting downloads from source and to get up. Now i am just working on self while they work on themselves. Sometimes we just have to walk away for awhile. If it is meant to be it will be.
