Song Meaning of “Nostalgia” by Vivendo do Ócio
Nostalgia is a haunting yet hopeful song by Vivendo do Ócio. The song’s narrator is waxing poetic, as they look back on the past and ruminate on what could have been. They express the longing for something that they can never have and their memories of it linger on, immersing them in nostalgia.
The narrator is stuck in a cycle of trying to move on from the pain of what’s gone, but as soon as they come close to finally putting it all behind them, nostalgia hits and they’re right back where they started. This cycle continues until, in the end, they decide to stop running away from the feelings and simply accept them.
By embracing the bitter-sweet nostalgia, the narrator finds some peace in allowing themselves to appreciate the beauty of their past- even if they can never have it back. Despite the sorrow that comes with nostalgia, the narrator finally realizes it’s something that can be cherished and is an important part of their life.
