Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Parades (acoustic)” by Allred
The song ‘Parades (acoustic)’ by Allred explores the idea of trying to keep up with the constant changes in life. With its melancholic acoustic guitar and emotive lyrics, the singer opens up about life’s never-ending parade and how difficult it is to keep up with all of its twists and turns. The first verse talks about feeling like somebody’s left behind as the world changes around them and how everyone has a different path that they’re on. The chorus poetically speaks of how the parade keeps on moving and suggests that no matter how hard one tries to keep up the inevitable outcome is that they’ll be left behind in the end. The next verse delves deeper into the idea of accepting the fact that life will always keep on going and the singer’s kind of resigned to this fact. The bridge speaks of finding a silver lining in the midst of it all, suggesting that while one is surrounded by these varying changes, one can still find a way to keep going and remember the good times instead of being drowned by the sadness of the past. The song ends by indicating that while things may go by quickly, if one holds on tight enough then there’s still hope for the future.
