Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but you ain´t small and weak
ain´t your mother or father
You´ve got your oun two feet
Oh what did you do before i came along
did you walk around
in a haze
avobe my memory is fading these days
we used to talk about why things go wrong
on everything we were agree
Oh what did you do before i came along
did you walk arround
in a haze
now I remember how you walked once
avobe my memory is fading these days
The Bonfire Band's song These Days is a reflection on change and the passing of time. The lyrics are addressed to someone who is no longer in need of assistance or guidance, as they have grown and matured. The singer wonders what life was like for this person before they met and whether they were lost in a fog of confusion and helplessness. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing for the past, as the singer remembers how things used to be and how the person they are addressing used to walk. However, at the same time, the lyrics acknowledge that time has moved on and that memories can fade over time.
The song is about the delicacy of human relationships and the need for connection and companionship. It speaks of the journey that people take in life and how they change and grow. The song encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the changes that have occurred in their lives, and to cherish the memories they have made.
