The Story So Far Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to think on all of this and how you don't.
Damn it's hard to find sustenance
when all I had was love for this and now you don't.
Now I just abuse substances to drown out your accomplishments, however few.
All of this frustrates me bad
'cause I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
I hope this makes you sad
I hope this makes you sad.
If it's something serious then hit me up
but until then the door is shut, forget my room.
And if I had a match for every lie
and every attempt to deny, I'd strike a few.
I am the walls, the silent halls
My jacket at your sisters wedding, navy blue.
All of this frustrates me bad 'cause
I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
She told me don't think like that, it's really not that bad.
I hope this makes you sad
I hope this makes you sad.
The lyrics to "Navy Blue" by The Story So Far are filled with raw emotion and introspection. The song explores the pain of losing someone you love and the struggle of moving on. The first verse delves into the singer's feelings of hurt and frustration over the fact that the other person has moved on while they remain stuck in the past. The line "I bet it hurts to read permanence" speaks to the idea that the other person has found something lasting while the singer feels like they are stuck in time.
The second verse takes a darker turn as the singer admits to using substances to cope with their pain. They cannot handle the fact that the other person has accomplished things without them and are drowning their sorrows in drugs or alcohol. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer cannot stay angry with the other person and wishes that their pain would at least make the other person sad.
The final verse takes on a more bitter tone as the singer closes the door on the other person. The imagery of the match and the lies alludes to the idea that the relationship was built on falsehoods and the singer is burnt out on excuses. The last line, which describes the singer's jacket at the other person's sister's wedding, brings to mind bittersweet memories and the lingering pain of missed opportunities.
Overall, "Navy Blue" is a song that speaks to the very human emotions of pain, frustration, and regret.
