Same Old Song
Saragossa Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left is our favorite song, the one we danced to all night long.
It used to bring sweet memories of a tender love that used to be,
now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning
since-a you been gone.
Now it's the same, same old song,
but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone.
Fool am I to hear a old love song.
And wanna cry but the melody keeps haunting me
reminding me how in love we used to be.
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart saying together forever.
Breaking up never, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning
since-a you been gone.
Now it's the same, same old song,
but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone.
Precious memories keep-a lingering on,
ev'rytime I hear our favorite song, now you're gone, left this emptiness,
I only reminisce.
The happiness we spent, we used to dance to the music
make romance to the music,
now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning
since-a you been gone.
Now it's the same, same old song,
but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone.
Oh I can't bear to hear it,
it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone;
it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone;
The lyrics of Saragossa Band's "Same Old Song" lament the loss of a love that had once been sweet and tender but has now been tainted by heartbreak. The opening lines depict the bitter aftermath of a breakup as the singer compares their lost love to a honey bee that stings. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "now it's the same, same old song, but with a different meaning since-a you been gone." This line serves as a powerful metaphor for the way in which a once-beloved song can become painful and difficult to listen to after a breakup. The melody and lyrics that once brought joy to the couple now only serve as a painful reminder of their lost love.
The verses of the song take us on a journey through the singer's emotions as they struggle to come to terms with their heartbreak. In the first verse, the singer describes how their favorite song used to bring sweet memories of the love they once shared with their partner. However, since their partner left, the same song now has a different meaning, one that is colored by sadness and loss. In the second verse, the singer admits to feeling like a fool for still being affected by an old love song. The melody of the song keeps haunting them and brings back memories of the time when they were in love. The singer longs for the love they once shared and can't bear to hear the song that reminds them of what they've lost.
Overall, "Same Old Song" is a moving and relatable exploration of one of the most universal human experiences: heartbreak. The lyrics express the pain and sadness that come with the end of a relationship, and the melody beautifully captures the emotions that come with a once-beloved song that has since been marked by loss.
