Hiraeth is the Welsh word for nostalgia and longing. This is a song most likely longing for happier times, examples used in the songs include a person’s birth and before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shit one out for the pretentious fuckers
Who sit behind computers all day
Yet for someone who thinks so highly of thinking
I sure got a lot to say
No reverse for what is done
Forget it all staring at the sun
I'll memorize what I've done wrong
And go apply it to future songs
Don't expect another day to remember
I heard all the tickets sold out
Was gonna take so many trips in December
But don't trust anything when the time gets away
Stuck in vacation seas
I'm done with the vacancies
I'm living life in latency
My body has forsaken me
Back in the time when
We were making new friends
And pulling through all of our plans
No need to get away
Run to the supermarket
And buy a bag of fresh cartoons
Stare into imagination land
And never wonder what to do
I hope I'll die the way I came in
A fresh pair of eyes and free of sin
I wanna do it all again
But I've come too far and I'm not done yet
