My Friends
Shandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh thanks to all that let me strand
When I start thinking of you
Of my present and past friends
I see me then inside a shell
No refuge nothing to do
So they were my family
I didn't know what could it mean
So nice so straight
They found their way
No time to stay
Oh thanks for all my friends
Oh thanks to all that let me strand
Some of them around the world
Someone else is still in touch
Most of them have stopped to learn
One of us just seems to lose
For his scare to be betrayed
He's behaving like a slave
"they found their way
So nice so straight
They found their way
No time to stay
Oh thanks for all my friends
Oh thanks to all that let me strand
Oh thanks for all my friends
Oh thanks to all that let me strand"

The lyrics of Shandon's song "My Friends" express gratitude for the presence and support of friends during difficult times. The singer reflects on memories of past friends and acknowledges the importance they have had in their life, acting as a sort of family. However, despite this appreciation, the singer also recognizes the fleeting nature of these relationships, as some friends have moved away, while others have stopped communicating altogether.
The singer describes feeling trapped and sheltered within themselves, seeking refuge in their friendships. The phrase "No refuge nothing to do" possibly hints at a sense of purposelessness when alone, which is resolved when the singer is in the company of their friends. The sections "They found their way/So nice so straight/They found their way/No time to stay" suggest that the singer's friends are independent and confident, moving through life with direction and decisiveness, leaving little time for lengthy companionship.
Overall, the song seems to acknowledge the valuable role that friends play in supporting and enriching one's life. However, it also recognizes the inevitable changes and separations that occur in friendships over time, creating a sense of bittersweet nostalgia.
