When We Were Young
Shyla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So don't give up, don't blow the light out now, we'll find a way somehow
For what it's worth, I'll always scream your name, step back, do it again
Upon the stars, our names are, traced in glory when, everything else falls
[Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom cherish]
Don't let me go
Remember when, those better days, were only filled with laughter
So don't give up, don't blow the light out now, we'll find a way somehow
So is it true, can we be, everylasting, or just everlonging
[Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom cherish]
Don't let me go
[For in the night, thou woes shall perish]
Remember when, those better days, were only filled with laughter
So don't give up, don't blow the light out now, we'll find a way somehow
We'll be fine without you
Do you remember, the days when we were young
Do you remember, the days when we were young
The lyrics to Shyla's song "When We Were Young" speaks to the power of memories and close relationships in tumultuous times. The opening lines of the song, "Remember when, those better days, were only filled with laughter / So don't give up, don't blow the light out now, we'll find a way somehow," acknowledges that even in the darkest moments, it's important to hold onto moments of joy and happiness from the past. The repeated refrain of "Don't let me go / For in the night, thou woes shall perish" further emphasizes the importance of having a support system during trying times.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of potential longevity in relationships, with the lines "So is it true, can we be, everlasting, or just everlonging." The uncertainty of whether a relationship will last forever or if it's just a temporary feeling adds depth to the song's message about cherishing moments of happiness and connection when they occur.
