Old Fashioned Love
Shaimus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Old fashioned love, I miss the way it's been, it's been
Do you feel alone
Or is it just me
Who's on my own
Old fashioned love, you led me on back then, why not again
Do you feel alone
Or is it just me
Who's on my own
Old fashioned love, you broke my heart back then, please not again
Please, please, not again
Don't break my heart, no, not again
You broke my heart, broke my heart
Not again, not again
Old fashioned love
In Shaimus's song Old Fashioned Love, the lyrics speak to the nostalgia and longing for a love that has been lost. The repeated refrain of "Old fashioned love, you stole my heart again, again" speaks to the power that this old fashioned love has over the singer. It has the ability to bring back strong emotions and reminiscences of a time when things were simpler and perhaps truer.
The lyrics also touch on the pain and heartbreak that love can bring, with the lines "Old fashioned love, you broke my heart back then, please not again." The singer is apprehensive about diving back into this love, fearing that it may once again lead to heartbreak. However, they cannot help but miss the way things used to be.
The chorus of "Do you feel alone, or is it just me who's on my own" adds an element of vulnerability and uncertainty to the song. The singer is unsure if this love is still alive or if they are the only one feeling this way. They are reaching out, hoping that they can rekindle the old flame.
Overall, Old Fashioned Love is a poignant and relatable song that speaks to the beauty and pain of love. The sentimentality of the lyrics paired with the band's catchy indie rock sound creates a powerful and emotional listening experience.
