Remember When (Used To Be Used To It)

There for Tomorrow's song 'Remember When (Used To Be Used To It)' delves into the emotional turmoil of a past relationship, reflecting on the pain and confusion that linger long after the initial heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a time when things were simpler and happier, contrasting sharply with the present state of disarray. The repeated refrain 'Remember when we never had to remember when times were better' underscores a longing for the past, a time when the relationship was fulfilling and uncomplicated.

The song's narrative is filled with metaphors and imagery that convey a sense of betrayal and disillusionment. Phrases like 'Your initial reply hit me undercover' and 'You were running out of lies to keep me under' suggest a relationship built on deceit and manipulation. The protagonist's struggle to find a way out of the 'mess' they are in highlights the emotional paralysis that often accompanies such experiences. The line 'And if you would've seen me at my best, would it have changed anything at all?' questions whether the relationship could have been salvaged if circumstances were different, adding a layer of introspection and regret.

The band's ability to convey raw emotion through both lyrics and instrumentation makes 'Remember When (Used To Be Used To It)' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the haunting nature of memories.
