Overall Meaning

In Salvia Palth's song "Like You Know I Get Old," the singer expresses their intense longing for someone they miss. The first stanza suggests that the singer is feeling a sense of absence and loss, as they describe how the sound of every little bird feels like they've never heard it before, indicating a state of emotional numbness or isolation. However, they also reveal that they always loved the words of the person they miss, implying that they were intimately familiar with them and that their connection was meaningful and significant.


In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they often "lose [their] mind" and that they "get old," suggesting that their experiences have taken a toll on them and reminding the listener of the fragility of human existence. By repeating the same phrase twice, "you know I get old," the singer is emphasizing the inevitability of aging and the fact that no one can escape the passage of time. The song carries a sense of melancholy, but also speaks to the universal human experiences of longing and nostalgia.


Overall, "Like You Know I Get Old" is a poignant and introspective song that captures the complex emotions associated with love and loss. The lyrics are poetic and vividly descriptive, allowing the listener to empathize with the singer's feelings of sadness and yearning. The repetition of the chorus adds to the sense of circularity and inevitability that the song conveys, and underscores the theme of impermanence that runs throughout the lyrics.
