Forgotten Past Lyrics Meanings
by Evan McMillian

Look around it's still the same old place
Same shit just a different day
Sometimes you've gotta laugh
Thinking about the forgotten past

Buildings use to be held up by cinder blocks
Now left under empty parking lots
Always said it's a cryin shame
But not when there's money to be made
This is the spot where my grandaddy died
Where he'd go find cars to fix on the side
I like to sit here reminisce on the days
To try and scrape up a memory

Look around it's still the same old place
Same shit just a different day
Sometimes you've gotta laugh
Thinking about the forgotten past

Children going to live somewhere on their own
Are far away now from this solitary home
Coming back they often think they've changed
Still the same lost kid at 18
The farmers field once a bright shade of green
Now is just a desolate gray
Old folks tell me it will be okay
Cause the memories just fade
So I remember them anyway

Look around it's still the same old place
Same shit just a different day
Sometimes you've gotta laugh
Thinking about the forgotten past
