Since Yesterday

Tommy February6's song 'Since Yesterday' delves into the themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics invite the listener to close their eyes and remember the thoughts they've locked away, suggesting a deep sense of longing for the past. The line 'When tomorrow comes you'll wish you had today' underscores the fleeting nature of time and the regret that often accompanies it. This sentiment is further emphasized as the song reflects on the difficulty of moving forward when all that remains are memories of yesterday.

The recurring imagery of sitting alone and searching for a reason to go on highlights a sense of isolation and existential contemplation. The fear of losing a part of someone since yesterday speaks to the inevitable changes and losses that time brings. This fear is palpable in the line 'I'm scared I'll have to say that a part of you has gone since yesterday,' which captures the anxiety of witnessing the gradual fading of a loved one or a cherished moment.

The song's melancholic tone is reinforced by the repetition of the phrase 'all we have now are our thoughts of yesterday.' This repetition serves as a poignant reminder of the inescapable nature of the past and the difficulty of finding closure. The mention of 'a hundred wishes couldn't say I don't want to' suggests a deep-seated reluctance to let go, even when faced with the inevitability of change. Through its introspective lyrics and evocative imagery, 'Since Yesterday' resonates with anyone who has ever grappled with the passage of time and the bittersweet nature of memories.
