Good Old Days
The Evolution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I don't know
Don't know your face from my own
Don't know your name, should I though?
Too late

Don't go
Don't leave me here on my own
Your voice reminds me of a song
Today

I'm hangin' on by a thread
I'm fighting hard to keep my head
I'm raging, wasting all away
I'm locked up in the dark again
And all that I was escapes an end
But I still know who I am today

I can't say
Can't say I'm sure of all I've known
Decades of love, are all but gone
Too late

Sit close
Let's sing a song from long ago
From when I was young and full of hope
Today

I'm hangin' on by a thread
I'm fighting hard to keep my head
I'm raging, wasting all away
I'm locked up in the dark again
And all that I was escapes an end
But I still know who I am today

A good day




I'm glad you're here, won't you stay?
I know a song we can sing

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics express a sense of uncertainty and unfamiliarity. The singer confesses that they don't recognize the person they are addressing, whether it's their face or their name. However, they acknowledge that it may be too late to rectify this lack of knowledge, implying that they might have missed their chance to establish a connection.


The second verse delves into the singer's emotions and state of mind. They plead for the other person not to abandon them and leave them alone. The mention of the other person's voice resembling a song suggests that it holds some nostalgic or comforting value to the singer, possibly reminding them of happier times. Despite their struggles and feeling like they are wasting away, they resolve to hold on and fight to maintain their sanity in the darkness that surrounds them.


Moving on to the third verse, the lyrics reflect the singer's uncertainty and lack of confidence in what they have known throughout their life. They question the validity and endurance of decades of love, implying that it has faded or disappeared. Once again, the singer believes it is too late to address or salvage these feelings, hinting at a sense of regret.


The final verse brings a somewhat positive shift in tone, as the singer invites the person they are addressing to sit close and sing a song from their past. This indicates a desire for connection, nostalgia, and a return to a time when the singer was filled with hope and optimism. The mention of a "good day" and the plea for the other person to stay suggests that their presence brings joy and comfort, and they hope to relive those moments together.


Overall, the lyrics of "Good Old Days" convey a sense of yearning for connection, regret for missed opportunities, and a longing to revisit happier times.
