A Living Diary
Transit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're only talking cause you lost someone close to you.
Without this entry you'd feel incomplete.
Come treat me like a living diary and just turn the page and walk away.

and it's true that I can feel this season in my bones
as New England fills with snow.

I find it hard to believe through everything I see

that every bits unique,
that maybe there is someone who’s just like me.
Someone who feels just like me.

Incomplete,
Someone who feels just like me.

Come by and ask me how I'm holding up.
My good intentions were never good enough.
I was empty before I met you
and I'll be there soon enough again.
I wont forget, I'll save your place,
don't walk away. I can't erase anything about you.

For all the things we fake you're words they seem so real.
So real that they could take all the hope left
in my life and leave my insides blank.

So close me or up or turn the page
So close me up but don’t bury me away.

Overall Meaning

The song A Living Diary by Transit delves into the themes of grief, loss, and the search for connection. The opening lines "We're only talking cause you lost someone close to you/ Without this entry you'd feel incomplete" suggest that the singer and the person they are addressing have a connection that was strengthened by the shared experience of loss. The singer then asks to be treated like a living diary, a receptacle for their confidant's emotions and memories, someone who can help them process their grief. The line "Come treat me like a living diary and just turn the page and walk away" conveys the idea that the singer is willing to be there for their confidant, even if it's just for a fleeting moment, but also acknowledges that eventually they will have to part ways.

The song then takes a turn towards introspection with the lines "and it's true that I can feel this season in my bones/ as New England fills with snow." The singer is introspective, pondering the idea that everything is unique and yet, there may be someone out there who feels just like them. This suggests a sense of loneliness and searching for a meaningful connection, which is only strengthened by the later lines "Come by and ask me how I'm holding up/ My good intentions were never good enough/ I was empty before I met you/ and I'll be there soon enough again." The singer expresses a sense of emptiness, searching for purpose and meaning, and reveals their vulnerability and need for others.

In conclusion, Transit's A Living Diary is a poignant song that explores complex themes like grief, loss, and the search for connection. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of introspection, vulnerability, and emotional depth, inviting the listener to contemplate their own experiences and emotions.
