Past Life
Trevor Daniel & Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know why I'm bad at this, uh
And I don't wanna sit in all my sadness
I know it's a habit of mine
Perfect, perfect timing
I start what I don't know how to end
Don't re-, don't remind me
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you can never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last time, was the last time, whoa
Gave me what I wanted when I needed it
Honestly, I mean it
And if I could convince myself to feel it
You know I would feel it, I would
Perfect, perfect timing
I start what I don't know how to end
Don't re-, don't remind me
I ruined it before it began, oh
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you can never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I'll never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last night of my past life, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you could never figure me out
Last night was the last time, was the last time
I never let you figure me out
Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Last night was the last night of my past life, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
(Oh)
Where we've been, what we know (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Will never go away (oh)
Will never go away (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Where we've been, what we know
Will never go away
Will never go away
In Trevor Daniel and Selena Gomez's song "Past Life," both artists reflect on their past relationships and how they've affected them. In the first verse, Daniel sings about trying to be honest with himself about his happiness but struggling to do so. He acknowledges that sitting in sadness has become a habit for him. He then talks about how he often starts things without knowing how to end them, and he ruins them in the process.
The chorus further emphasizes the theme of the past affecting the present. Daniel sings about how last night was the last night of his past life, indicating that he's ready to move on and leave the past behind. He also talks about how people have never been able to figure him out, possibly hinting at his difficulty in opening up to others. The line "thinking how I used to use you" suggests that Daniel may have been selfish in his past relationships and regrets it now.
Gomez's verse echoes similar sentiments but also speaks about the positive aspects of a past relationship. She talks about how her partner gave her what she needed when she needed it and how she wishes she could convince herself to feel the same way again. However, she ultimately acknowledges that the past is in the past and cannot be changed.
Overall, "Past Life" is a melancholic yet reflective track that explores the themes of change and growth in relationships. It encourages listeners to let go of the past and embrace the present.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm tryna be honest with my happiness
I am attempting to sincerely express my contentment and satisfaction
Don't know why I'm bad at this, uh
I am unsure why I find it difficult to convey my emotions
And I don't wanna sit in all my sadness
I do not wish to dwell in my own grief
I know it's a habit of mine
It is a recurring pattern in my behavior
Perfect, perfect timing
The situation could not have presented itself at a better time
I start what I don't know how to end
I initiate actions without a clear plan or direction to finish them
Don't re-, don't remind me
Please refrain from bringing up previous mistakes or errors
I ruined it before it began, oh
I sabotaged the potential outcome even before it had the chance to materialize
Last night was the last night of my past life
Yesterday marked the end of my former way of living
Got me here like you can never figure me out
My current demeanor and mannerisms are hard to comprehend and decipher
Last night was the last time, was the last time
Yesterday was the final instance of that kind
I never let you figure me out
I do not allow others to understand me completely
Sitting here, talking to myself
I am in solitude, conversing with my own thoughts
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I'm used to
Recalling how I exploited your presence as it was the sole reliance for me
I'll never let you figure me out
I will never give you the whole picture of myself
Gave me what I wanted when I needed it
You provided me with what I desired at that point in time
Honestly, I mean it
I genuinely confess my statement
And if I could convince myself to feel it
If only I could persuade myself to acknowledge that feeling
You know I would feel it, I would
I assure you, I would feel it completely
Last night was the last night of my past life, whoa
Yesterday was the conclusive end of my life lived in the past
Where we've been, what we know (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Our past experiences and insights that we have collected
Will never go away (oh)
They will never dissolve
Will never go away (whoa, whoa, whoa)
They will always be present
