Said and Done
Second String Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much I miss you and hate myself for letting you go
What I wouldn't give to have you here with me tonight
What I wouldn't do to start again and start making this right
Old flames burn brighter as time moves on
Our past is not forever
We cannot lose this over
What's said and done
Just give me one more chance to fix this mess I've made
To tell you that I was wrong and apologize for being that way
I swear on everything we'll ever hope and dream
That nothing matters more than here and now, just you and me
Our past is not forever
It's dead and gone
We cannot lose this over
What's said and done
This time we won't say goodbye
Old flames burn brighter as time moves on
The lyrics of Second String's "Said and Done" primarily tackle regret and nostalgia. The first verse sets the tone for the song by highlighting the uselessness of memories if they only serve to remind us of losses and mistakes. The singer then expresses a strong desire to reconnect with their loved one in the present, which implies that they have separated but wish they could start over. This regret is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer acknowledges the importance of the present moment and how they don't want to lose it over past mistakes. The theme of regret continues in the second verse, as the singer begs for a chance to make things right and promises to prioritize the relationship over anything else. The final lines of the song suggest that this time around, the relationship won't end in goodbyes.
Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on loss and regret, and the lyrics are delivered with heartfelt sincerity. The nostalgic tone of the song is reinforced by the repeated reference to old flames burning brighter as time moves on, which suggests that the memories of the past have become even more intense with time. The singer's yearning for a fresh start with their loved one is palpable, and there is a sense of urgency in their plea for another chance.

@hopegold883
I’m really surprised. I guess I watch too much YouTube. I thought it would be clear to everyone it was a riff on all the “quitting” videos.

It's not that at all. Eventually every single content creator reaches the conclusion that those that did not, but could have created content figures out in advance. Idly creating nonsense for dullards chasing a few dollars is no way to live your life. No contribution to society, not benefit for human kind...useless nonsense.
@RobotWillie
That's funny, what you just said is exactly how I feel about your comment. It makes no contribution to society, no benefit to human kind and is useless nonsense by someone who is a dullard. You are the epitome of someone projecting how they feel about themselves onto other people. @@karlwithak.

@@karlwithak. Isn't that what 90% of "creatives" do? They should all go plant potatoes.
