Sentimental
Vistas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stay just a little bit longer
The older, I'm feeling's
Revealing a notion I can't shake
Or make, this change
Sorry I'm just trying to be honestly
I'm nothing without it I hope you know
For the open road it's incidental
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
Don't think it's coincidental
That the drugs don't work the way they're meant to
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
Notice, and listen, and be there
Be present for the people that matter
Their laughter, will keep you
Going when you're feeling so scattered
Round the UK
And maybe one day, out in the rest of the world
When I won't be, nothing without it I hope you know
I'm not feeling sentimental
For the open road it's incidental
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
Don't think it's coincidental
That the drugs don't work the way they're meant to
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
I'm not feeling sentimental
I'm not feeling sentimental
I'm not feeling sentimental
For the open road it's incidental
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
Don't think it's coincidental
That the drugs don't work the way they're meant to
When you live outside the modern life
It's hard to find your place inside
In "Sentimental," Vistas portrays a feeling of detachment from the modern lifestyle while emphasizing the importance of being present for the people who matter. The lyrics describe the singer's growing realization that as they get older, they crave something more meaningful than simply living on the open road. They feel the need to settle down and create a stable life. They feel that without it, they are nothing.
However, they acknowledge that living outside the modern life makes it difficult to find their place in the world, which is illustrated by the line “When you live outside the modern life, it's hard to find your place inside." The song also touches upon the hardships of drug addiction, which the singer seems to imply they have experienced.
Overall, "Sentimental" is a song that highlights the importance of connection and finding one's purpose in life, even if it means venturing out of the typical path society has set.
