21

The song '21' by Makeout City seems to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on past relationships and experiences. The lyrics suggest a yearning for a simpler time, perhaps when the narrator and their companion were younger, as indicated by the line 'We're still twenty one.' The mention of 'Colored streams of our thoughts' and 'the snow between our eyes' could symbolize the purity and vibrancy of youth, as well as the blinding effect of intense emotions that can cloud one's vision.

The recurring question 'Why would you go' paired with the inability to 'see the Sun' implies a sense of loss and confusion. The narrator is struggling to understand why their companion has left, and they long for the comfort and familiarity of the past ('Take me back to / When it was cold / With you I know'). The cold here could represent a time when their relationship was solid and unchallenged, a stark contrast to the present uncertainty and emotional turmoil.

The final verse, 'Driving on the way / While rain pours,' could be a metaphor for moving forward through difficult times, with the rain symbolizing challenges and sadness. However, the narrator holds onto hope, as indicated by the line 'There's no reason to be (sad).' The invitation to 'come around and say' suggests a desire for reconciliation and a chance to revisit and perhaps rekindle the connection they once shared.
