Winter Of Our Youth Lyrics

This is the winter of our youth
Oh but I'm not there yet
I've got nostalgia running through me
And I don't like it

Oh my, my, my, my
Now I can almost taste it, taste it
But I, just hope we didn't waste it away

I know the winter's getting colder
But why, just 'cause we're a little older do
I relive it, I relive it
Oh, I'm peddling backwards
Even if I'm peddling alone
Can't help it
I relive it, I relive it, oh

It's 4 AM here comes the fear
I'm not prepared yet
And when we pick over the past we glorify it

Oh my, my, my, my
I hope I wasn't wasted, wasted
And I, I hope I didn't drink it away

I know the winter's getting colder
But why, just 'cause we're a little older do
I relive it, I relive it
Oh, I'm peddling backwards
Even if I'm peddling alone
Can't help it
I relive it, I relive it, oh

I let myself bathe in the past for way, way, way too long
And now it seems that I've drunk too much to give you what you want

I know the winter's getting colder
But why, just 'cause we're a little older do
I relive it, I relive it
Oh, I'm peddling backwards
Even if I'm peddling alone
Can't help it
I relive it, I relive it, oh

Can't help it
Relive it, I relive it, oh
Can't help it
I relive it, I relive it, oh
I'm peddling backwards
Even if I'm peddling alone
Can't help it
I relive it, I relive it, oh

What is the Meaning of Winter Of Our Youth?

Reflecting on the passage of time, Bastille's poignant track delves into themes of nostalgia and regret. The 'winter of our youth' serves as a metaphor for the end of carefree days and the onset of responsibility and maturity. The lyrics express a longing for the past, coupled with fear and apprehension about the future. This is evident in lines like "I've got nostalgia running through me" and "It's 4 AM here comes the fear". The repeated phrase "I relive it" suggests an inability to move forward due to being anchored in past memories or mistakes. However, there's also a sense of self-awareness that dwelling on the past can be unproductive and potentially harmful - "I let myself bathe in the past for way too long". 🕰️
