Eighteen
Vistas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes, I remember all the good times
But then I remember all the worst nights
But I won't feel alone with her
Was it such a bad thing?
A little bit of balance
Meant a little bit of absence
And now I feel alone with her
Can we go back to eighteen
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to eighteen, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring
When I reminisce
Where we go, we go wrong

Do you remember midnight?
Like it was the first time?
Reflecting into your eyes
And now I feel alone with her
I guess it was a bad thing
A little bit of balance
Meant a little bit of absence
And now I feel alone with her

Can we go back to eighteen
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to eighteen, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring
When I reminisce, when we go

Can we go back to eighteen
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to eighteen, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring




When I reminisce, when I go
When we go wrong, we go wrong

Overall Meaning

The song Eighteen by Vistas leans into the nostalgia and regret that can come with growing up and reflecting on one's past mistakes. The lyrics convey a sense of longing to go back to a time when things were simpler, specifically when the singer and their partner were 18 years old. The repetition of the line "Can we go back to eighteen?" highlights this desire. However, the song doesn't paint a completely rosy picture of the past. The lines "Sometimes, I remember all the good times/But then I remember all the worst nights" show that there were difficult moments as well.


The chorus of the song, with its repetition of "We thought this was more than everything/The joy we felt, the tears we bring/When I reminisce, when we go/When we go wrong, we go wrong," captures the contradiction between the joy of the relationship and the pain that came with it. The lines "I made you cry, I made you sing" show that the singer was not always a perfect partner and acknowledges that they caused their partner pain.


Overall, the song has a wistful tone, acknowledging that the past cannot be changed but still wanting to revisit it. The lyrics highlight the complexities of relationships and growing up, capturing both the happy and sad moments.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes, I remember all the good times
Occasionally, I recall the pleasant moments


But then I remember all the worst nights
However, soon after, I recollect the unpleasant evenings


But I won't feel alone with her
But in spite of it all, I won't experience solitude when I'm with her


Was it such a bad thing?
Do you think it was really that terrible?


A little bit of balance
A moderate amount of equilibrium


Meant a little bit of absence
Resulted in a slight shortage


And now I feel alone with her
Consequently, currently, I feel isolated even when I'm with her


Can we go back to eighteen
Is it possible for us to revisit being eighteen again?


We were only eighteen
We were quite young at that time, just 18 years old


Tell me, do you remember everything?
Let me ask you, do you recollect all of it?


I made you cry, I made you sing
I caused you to shed tears, but also to sing joyfully


Back to eighteen, all the times in between
Back to being 18, everything that happened in between then and now


We thought this was more than everything
We believed that what we had was greater than anything else


The joy we felt, the tears we bring
The happiness we experienced, and the sorrow that came with it


When I reminisce
As I recollect the past


Where we go, we go wrong
Wherever we went, that's where we made mistakes


Do you remember midnight?
Do you recall that time at midnight?


Like it was the first time?
As though it was the initial occasion?


Reflecting into your eyes
Gazing intensely into your eyes


And now I feel alone with her
Nowadays, I feel solitary even when I'm with her


I guess it was a bad thing
I assume it was a negative occurrence


When I reminisce, when we go
When I reflect on the past, wherever we went


When we go wrong, we go wrong
When we mess up, we really mess up

Sometimes, I remember all the good times
But then I remember all the worst nights
But I won't feel alone with her
Was it such a bad thing?
A little bit of balance
Meant a little bit of absence
And now I feel alone with her

Can we go back to that scene
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to that scene, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring
When I reminisce
Where we go, we go wrong

Do you remember midnight?
Like it was the first time?
Reflecting into your eyes
And now I feel alone with her
I guess it was a bad thing
A little bit of balance
Meant a little bit of absence
And now I feel alone with her

Can we go back to that scene
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to that scene, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring
When I reminisce, when we go

Can we go back to that scene
We were only eighteen
Tell me, do you remember everything?
I made you cry, I made you sing
Back to that scene, all the times in between
We thought this was more than everything
The joy we felt, the tears we bring
When I reminisce, when I go
When we go wrong, we go wrong

You're a hero without cape :)

@moonlucid6970

In the chorus I thought it was ''back to that SCENE'', I am stupid

@megabyte112
