Back in the Day - Information Society

Walking down that same old street

I feel the same emotions

Stop in where we used to meet

To share our endless hoping

The ghosts here, they don’t care

This place is dead and lifeless

What was it, you asked me

Somehow I can’t recall

But I remember how it used to be

Before we walked away

The world is not a match for you and me

No matter what we used to say

If only we were smart enough to see

That we were truly free

Back in the day

Seeking what cannot be found

A fading echo of you

Flashing pictures with no sound

My only image of you

The twilight has questions

And whispers vague suggestions

A curtain is falling

Obscuring old connections

I remember how it used to be

Before we walked away

The world is not a match for you and me

No matter what we used to say

If only we were smart enough to see

That we were truly free

Back in the day
