The Apples in Stereo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a new light, they seem so real to me--
I remember, I remember.
And the starlight skipping on the bay
Come on, we can still go there today--
I remember, I remember.
We haven't changed
We just feel a little strange.
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged.
In the moonlight I think about the past
And in hindsight, I knew it wouldn't last--
I remember, I remember.
And the starlight tripping in the sky
Come on, we can still go there tonight--
I remember, I remember.
haven't changed
We just feel a little strange.
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged.
In the moonlight I see my memories
I realize I need you here with me--
I remember, I remember.
We haven't changed
We just feel a little strange.
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged.
The Apples in Stereo's song Baroque is a charming and nostalgic track that celebrates the memories of the past while acknowledging the changes that come with time. The first verse suggests that reminiscing the past, specifically memories, can bring about new perspectives and understanding. It implies that upon reflection, what was once confusing or unclear in the past may now make sense as time and experience shield new light on life. The second verse builds on this idea by suggesting that even though reality may fall short of the idealistic memories of the past, we can still strive to recapture that past feeling of freedom and excitement. The chorus serves as a kind of refrain that symbolizes the struggle of retaining the joy of the past and reconciling it with the present.
