Retrospect
Vistas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which she considers the wrong things
And you find comfort in hellos
Not goodbyes, not goodbye
And you try not to have issues
With the hate you, love you and miss yous
That all come out when she kissed you
Singing "Sweet Caroline" with diamonds in her eyes
And you can't remember the tune
Throw my arms to the skies
Hold my head make me realise
Close my eyes, let me reset
Happiness in retrospect
Make it chill make it flow
Everything in the afterglow
Let me go and I'll forget
Happiness in retrospect
See you find comfort in tall things
Which he considers the wrong things
And you find comfort in things he can't
Recognize, recognize
And you want nothing but all this
While he's stuck trying to solve it
Nevertheless acquiesce till you feel those
Butterflies, butterflies
Singing "Sweet Caroline" with diamonds in his eyes
And you can't remember the tune
Throw my arms to the skies
Hold my head make me realise
Close my eyes let me reset
Happiness in retrospect
Make it chill make it flow
Everything in the afterglow
Let me go and I'll forget
Happiness in retrospect
Throw my arms to the skies
Hold my head make me realise
Close my eyes let me reset
Happiness in retrospect
Make it chill make it flow
Everything in the afterglow
Let me go and I'll forget
Happiness in retrospect
Let me go and I'll forget
Happiness in retrospect
The song "Retrospect" by Vistas is a song about two people in a relationship who find comfort in different things. They are trying to make their relationship work, but there are issues of hate and love, and sometimes they have trouble recognizing each other's needs. The chorus sings about the idea of seeking happiness in retrospect, or looking back on things in life and finding happiness in the memories. The song talks about trying to let go of the things that are causing problems in the relationship and finding clarity in the midst of confusion.
The lyrics describe the different ways each person tries to find comfort, but they are not always compatible. The song suggests that sometimes it can be hard to understand what someone else needs to feel happy and loved. The line "And you want nothing but all this, while he's stuck trying to solve it" suggests that one person in the relationship is struggling to meet the other person's needs. The chorus gives a sense of hope that by looking back on things, they can find a way to move forward and be happy.
The song has a catchy melody and upbeat tone, but the lyrics suggest a deeper meaning. The use of "Sweet Caroline" in the chorus is an example of how music can evoke memories and emotions. The idea of finding happiness in retrospect is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. Overall, the song is about the struggles of relationships and the hope that we can find happiness by looking back on the good times.
